since there was a MS thread why didn't the author take the Sony info too from B3d
From a Beyond3d "insider' and mostly likely BS!


Quote:
--GTA Untitled: PS3 Exclusive for sometime in 2007
--RSX = "G71 on crack". Sony to launch Cell and RSX at 65 nm
--Final PS3 design much like the same. Size stays intact. Runs cool.
--PS3 $399 launch price 60 GB HDD included (360 am owned)
--PS3 to ship with BD demo disc (has bunch of movie trailers on BD disc with game demos)
--FF7 "Remake" 'Well in development'. Sneak peak at E3.
--RSX 32 PS part speed bumped to 600 MHz.
--Will launch in Japan and USA in November. Europe delayed till '07
--500,000 units for USA and Japan each at launch
--Sony to ship 10M PS3 worldwide by Q2 2007.
--Ageai says, "Cell performs as well as PPU in some areas."
--Sony urging developers to aim for 720p. ALL games must be 60 fps MINIMUM.
--No PS3 online at launch
--Killzone PS3 to exceed E3 2005 presentation. "robust" online multiplayer in the works.
--Huge surprise about controller. (Should Ninty be worried?)
--PSP2 shown in some form.

I think on account most of that's no longer "rumored" :p

"But if you'd like to make your game run at 120 fps, that's fine too. We'll turn on another Cell core for you -- if you need it."

Micros0wned, Nintend0wned.
 
"ALL games must be 60 fps MINIMUM."

I know the alot (if not all) of the rumors are most likely bogus, but it would be great if atleast this one was true.

Did some forum dingbat make up this list? I can't imagine an edict from Sony that would ever say "all games must be 60 fps." Must've been someone who was pissed that PGR3 is 30. Funny though.

It seriously would take a forum dingbat to conceive of them makingg 60fps mandatory, while making 720p output optional.

I'm calling BS on one thing and one thing only - at least 60 Frame Per Second? Come on man! Use your head!

Oh, and "no duh" on the controller shite.

Indeed.

I love pre E3.

How reliable is this poster?

He says this at the bottom:

Don't bother asking where I heard this from. It's pretty damn reliable and I can't help but feel excited inside.

but is there any reason to trust him? Or is he Sony Nightfraud?

Oh, and for the record, I do think Sony has something big planned for the PS3 controller.

So 1 million worldwide at launch... 10 million worldwide by the end of April?

...

I vote no on Proposition Believe.

Are custom soundtracks a feature of the PS3, or have they said anything about that yet?



It has a hard drive, so that's pretty much a no-brainer. I think it'll be developer-decided, though.
