The Total Assesment Part 1: The PS3
Sony had alot to say at this years E3 starting with the release date and price of the PS3. The 3rd generation of Playstation will be released here in the States on November 17. The PS3 (just like the 360) will come with 2 SKUs, here's the breakdown:
SKU 1 $600
The "premium" version of the pair. This thing is packing the console with a 60 GB HDD, HDMI out. Memory Card reader and built in Wifi.
SKU 2 $500
The "base" package comes with a 20 GB HDD, no HDMI out, No Memory Card reader, and of course no Wifi.
Now, it is no lie that these prices seem a bit too much but if you're an HDTV owner with Wifi in your home the PS3 might be a better deal, and here's proof.
Why you say should we buy such a machine? Well, GAMES OF COURSE. The PS3 has games and here's the breakdown of the most exciting ones I saw:
MSG4: Guns Of The Patriots:
Solid Snake is back and ready to kick it, even though he looks about 97 years old. The REAL TIME movie that I saw was shown wonderfully with a great story and amazingly detailed graphics. Let me go ahead and ruin the end for you SNAKE DIES!!! Yes the end of the vid ends with Snake placing his gun in his mouth to rid himself.
Warhawks:
This game is set in the future and you are a plane. There that's it. Actually this will be one of the first games to take advantage of the new gyroscopic controller that Sony has announced. The graphics, are, eh, O.K. After MSG4 they don't compage but the amount of NPCs on the screen was amazing. This shoot and fly adventure really durprised me with the ease of use that the gyroscopic controller showed.
Sadly, Sony left me unimpressed with high prices and a boring Press Event. The few games that really got me excited were limited in number as you can see and I actually don't plan on Buying this console. According to some of the comments I've seen on Joystiq neither does anyone else. It's not as if this thing wan't sell out from the beginning but I don't see the public accepting it's high price and lack of games. Sorry Sony but your reign as King had to come to and end at some time.
