PSM3 mag: Hands on PS3

[TriggerOfDemise]

PS3 power-up pics and movie here!
Yes, it's true. It's not made out of wood, it's not behind bullet-proof glass at the Tokyo Game Show - it's a real live PS3 and we're really playing it. The two Sony reps that were kind enough to bring us the machine brought it in a bag, popped it out and placed it on our table. We connected it to our TV and we were away. Forget any dev-kit speculation and empty cases. PS3 is real and it works brilliantly.


Consider this a follow up to Friday's blog - where we posted a pic of the PS3 and a crowd of sweaty men fighting to have a go on it. Well, given that this post has proved insanely popular across the internet here are more pictures of men being excited around a real live working PS3.


Some more details of the brute in action:
1) It's quiet like a sleeping baby. A barely audible hum. With the TV on you simply can't hear it at all.
2) It's heavy like a planet. No, really. It's impossible to pick up with one hand.
3) It's shiny like a mirror. In fact, it's impossible to take a photograph of it without the flash spanging every picture into a starburst mess. And therefore it's massively prone to fingerprintage too, with the tiny amount of dust in the office magically attaching itself to its surface in seconds.
4) The PS3 joypad is very light and the tilt system is very responsive. We like.
5) The start up is amazingly fast. And game load times were faster than expected. In fact, PS3 does both at about the same speed of PSP. ie, Long load times due to the massive Blu-ray disc? Nope. Simply not an issue.
6) Andy's fingers kept sliding off the shoulder buttons. But that's because his fingers are slippery.

of course it sucks to you little girl, because they only thing you or your parents can afford for you is a Nintendo DS(which isn't a bad handheld though). now run along you boy-crazy teenie-bopper and go to the mall or something.

Wait wait wait, so someone paid by Sony says that a Sony product is good? Well with that kind of unbiased review I'm sold!

[Teh Gir]

Those pics actually look good, especially the MotorStorm one.

[Capt_Canada]

It would make a good coaster...nm it cant even do that well.

The thing im most intressted in is the cooling in the PS3 since there using heat pipes. They say its the same sound level as the slime ps2, which tbh is impressive.

oh btw found this about the xbox360

Here's how the Xbox 360 ranks in terms of noise output versus the other fan-cooled devices in the apartment.

Old, clunky refrigerator

Xbox 360

PlayStation 2 (fat version, not slim-line)

Panasonic PT-AE700U projector

GameCube

Xbox 360 power supply

IBM T42p (Laptop)

Dell Latitude C610 (Laptop)

iBook G4 (Laptop)

hmmm, but well i guess it was rushed out first.

I love how whenever someone posts anything negative about the PS3 you call them a fanboy and go one about how all fanboys are bad but then find a way to knock the 360 in a thread that has nothing to do with it.

[rand0m]

2 words ... fuck you.

Urm since when have I stated that 'ALL TEH OTHER CONSOLES ARE TEH CRAP', i mearly commented on the PS3's cooling system, then compaired it too the xbox 360's. Sure the xbox 360 is loud however like i stated it came out alot earlier than the PS3.

so once again, it seems your the fan boy here, attacking me for even the slightest critisim of your beloved xbox360. Oh your not a fan boy? well shut the fuck up then.

somehow you find a way to twist something everyone else says into a threat about the ps3 and you freak out and get all defensive

Exactly, I remember someone made a thread about how the Assassin's Creed team said they were making the AI or something better on the 360 version and he freaked out even though they actually said it.

Everybody Just Shut The Fuck Up Sit Down And Have A Beer!!!

So the only people saying good things about the PS3 are Sony employees? Interesting....:blahblah:

Yeah, because one article in one thread is from a PS site means every PS3 article is made by Sony employees...Hmmm, okay.

Wow, just wow....

Gimme a Wii.

The PS3 is at the bottom of my list for systems.

I like the power supply inside and all, though.

[B-MetalSucks]

I'm gonna get all three and laugh at the fuckers arguing over them. :-)

[Turbocharger]

I'll take a Wii. It's cheaper and more innovative.

kthxbi

[B-MetalSucks]

Same here, but I will have the other two as well. Me likes the options.

kthxbiurslf

[Turbocharger]

I don't get where you people get so much damn money. Or perhaps some of you are trying to look cool by SAYING you can afford them all.

You know who I'm talking about.


Yes, YOU! RIGHT THERE! READING THIS!
