Is the Playstation 3 the final design?

I swear I read in a source that I can't remember at the moment, that the PS3 that they showed at E3 2005 wasn't the final design, which is good because the design is crap, especially the controller!

DUH!

Remember the E3 version of the DS from last year?

And the PSP which was introduced early last year also?

The Sony Compony are winy, little brats that allways steal Nintendo's idea!!!!!

I could see them coming back with a PS Revelution! I read that on one site when the Nintendo compony came out with the controller design for the REV. They said their design was not final!!!!!!!!

This is defentantly not the final design.

Sony used to be part of Nintendo until they split up in like 1994.

Sony took what they learned from Nintendo and created the Playstation.
So you're right, Z. The Sony Compony ARE winy, little brats that always steals Nintendo's ideas!

Whiny little brats that always steal Nintendo's ideas? Do you realize that Nintendo and Sony were working together, and Nintendo went behind Sony's backs to work with Phillips. If anything, Nintendo did the backstabbing back then in 1994, not Sony.

Whatever.

Defiently not final according to one EB Games Employee
A kid had asked "Whens the revolution and ps3 coming out?"
Employee-"Revolution 2006"
kid-"Ps3?"
employee-"No release date yet, Sony had problems with its intial design"

according to joystiq about 2 weeks ago:
-"Ps3 dev kits got too overheated and didn't work"

so yeah I defiently say not final design

...You have NO idea what you're talking about. Sony was trying to help Nintendo develop the Playstation as a CD add-on. Nintendo backed out of that idea (anyone would after having seen CD failures like the Sega CD) and gave Sony money to help develop their own console. Sony was also partially responsible for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo.

Playstation IS Sony's idea. Nintendo allowed them to make it and even supported it by giving them the money for it. Sony stole jack squat.

If Sony does happen to have a remote (real like revs)controller which it basically can't due to patents and all then Sony better get rdy to lose everything.

Ok back on subject

No its not the final design although the eyetoy might play a bigger part of the system this time...

PS3 will probably have a design change but I don't think it will stray to far from the original design. BTW you guys are like super nintendo fanboys, eventhough I like microsoft more than the other companies I won't go around saying stuff like this

I could say stuff like that about revoulution but I will give it a chance and maybe I will like it (I'm probably not purchasing one though). The crap people say about sony on this forum is rediculous, I know they aren't the best company when it comes to quality but they have some decent games and it deserves credit like the other systems.

Well I never!

And that added what to the conversation? (even if it was rather clever)

I do hope/think its not the final design. I don't really like the design. But since, as of now, I don't plan on buying one, I really don't care to much.

Technically, it's only ripping off when it's exactly the same. Sony's just been using the ideas Nintendo's had and upping them.

Let's not forget, Sony wasn't the only one to dive into using analog stick. To combat Nintendo and Sony, Sega jumped in with a controller with an analog stick included with NiGHTS into Dreams for the Sega Saturn. And technically, Nintendo used the idea from the ol' Atari systems, which were the first consoles to use joysticks.

As I mentioned before, though. Sony upping the ideas are as follows:

-Playstation took the design of the SNES controller and reshaped it to be more comfortable and added more buttons that were actually used in the games.
-N64 had one analog stick, Playstation had two.
-N64 had a seperate plug-in rumble pack, Playstation had a built in rumbling controller.

You are right, though. Sega didn't have rumble pack installed into their controllers or more than one analog stick. The standard controller for the Saturn had a D-Pad until NiGHTS into Dreams came out with a controller that had an analog stick. The Dreamcast had a "rumble pack" of its own that was similar to the N64 one in the sense that it plugged into the controller and didn't work with every game.

I just want to say think you for clearing this up for me and now it all makes more sence. I do not dilike Sony, I just prefer more of the games which are on the GC. That is why people choose a console remember, for the games.

On Topic: I think that the PS3 controller looks horrid, and hope that it is not the final design. Although, I do think that the consile looks kind of ok but that is just My opinion.

Nintendo fans in a Pokemon forum?

Well I never!

There are people that like pokemon (Zelda and Super Smash bros. games too)but not nintendo as a whole (like myself). The systems I own from this generation are an xbox and a DS. The consoles I used to own from this generation are a gameboy advance SP, I recently sold it after transferring all my pokemon from fire red, colleseum, and a borrowed copy of XD to my emerald, now all I have to do is finish up my hoenn dex, a PS2 , I sold it because there were too many bugs, and a gamecube, worst console I ever bought, There were only 3 games I truly liked, SSMB, Wind Waker, and Animal Crossing, and I sold it with my gameboy advance SP. Nintendo only seems to be getting worse IMO however I am going to try this revolution thing before criticizing it further, DS was one of the few current gen nintendo systems I liked. Nintendo IMO should just stick to handhelds because they are great at making them, there console dept. needs some work though.

I wouldn't necessarily say Nintendo aren't that bad in console games. I'm not saying they're better then the others just saying they do have good games other then...well 3.

I mean lots of people loved other games for fun like Tales of Symponia which was originally for Gamecube. That goes for Resident Evil 4 as well. And they even have Twilight Princess coming out eventually. Good games do take time. Plus Fire Emblem PoR was pretty good. Plus Paper Mario 2 also rocked. Not as good as the first but still pretty darn good.

I'm just saying well....its not bad to try other games and be more open with them. I mean just because they don't have some good games thet doesn't mean just because some games aren't up to your standards they can still be fun and good if they aren't. Truely liked....

Anyway that aside since that's not what this topic's about. I think the design isn't bad nor good. Still can't judge till I try it. But since I support Sony and Nintedno I'll robaly get PS3. I happen to own a PS2 and some good games as well. Can't wait for Kingdom Hearts 2. Ahem...continue with your discussion fellas....
