Regards: E3
I don’t think I will be going to E3 this year. I’ve gone the last three years, and it was fun and all, but all the hassle of driving, parking, standing in lines, shuffling through crowds, isn’t really worth it to me anymore. Besides, coverage of this event is easily accessible online. Only thing I will miss out on is the free stuff and being able to play the games.
I will pay close attention to the online media this week to catch all the news and media. Here’s the news for today:
Playstation 3 official release date in the US is November 17. Price is going ot be $499 for 20 gb version, and $599 for the 60 gb version.
20 gb version of the PS3 will lack HDMI output, as well as memory stick and other flash card readers, and Wifi will be absent. Guess I’m getting the 60 gb.
Playstation 3 ‘boomerang’ controller is gone, official PS3 controller looks alot like the current PS2 controller. L2 and R2 buttons are more analog like Xbox 360. There is a center PS3 button much like the 360’s. It will also have gyroscoping features like the Wii controller. Of course it will be wireless with a USB port for wired use. And it will lose the rumble feature.
Microsoft confirms a HD-DVD addon for the Xbox 360.
