PS3 Speculation

Sony PS3 Slim Coming September for €300?

by Matthew on August 11, 2009

ps3_slim_leaked_photoThe Slim Sony PS3 rumour has been moving around for a few months now. The latest we hear comes from an anonymous French retailer who claims there is a low-profile slim PS3 and that the said console will be launched in September around Europe for 300 Euros. This will drop the price by 100 Euros that you pay now for a regular PS3.

The new slim PS3 is being touted as a “limited edition” version of the original PS3. If that’s true then is appears that both the slim/limited edition model will retail side by side with the fatter older console. [click to continue…]

With the latest firmware release fresh in our minds I got wondering about the firmware updates that i REALLY want. I personally would love to see a bit of MS Exchange email support in there, and also in-game audio chatting. When I used to have a 360 I would quite often just chat to my mates outside the game so as to not listen to all the annoying people singing down the mic.

So, what would you really want in a firmware update then? Feel free to vote, and if your option isn’t there leave us a comment, its always nice to know.

Sony still Making a Loss on the PS3?

by Matthew on January 5, 2009

When the PS3 was first launched I heard rumours that the cost to build one was over the $600 price range… actually $690.23. iSuppli are a market research company who like to keep track of things like this and in a recent strip down of the latest version of the PS3 console they priced a new model up at just $448.73. This still could mean that Sony make a loss on each console sold… but the good news is that the gap is getting smaller.

Is Metal Gear going Multi-Platform?

by Paul on December 5, 2008

I was just browsing the internet super highway and found this little cookie on the Konami Website:

MGS Coming to XBox??

MGS Coming to XBox??

It has caused a lot of speculation as to the meaning of the picture since the ON symbol somewhat representsa similarity to that of the XBox 360. However, the symbol is a universally recognised ON symbol, which could have been conveniently coloured XBox Green just to start speculation.

Also, note the line within the ON symbol is not a solid line, but rather an exclamation mark. Rumors are pointing to the possibility of a multiplatform Metal Gear, either on the Mobile level, such as iPhone/ Nintendo DSi, or a full blown Multi-Platform release.

Whatever the true meaning, Konami has wanted us to get thinking and talking and it sure has done that! Let us know what you think over in the forums.
