Is this the PS3?
 
I hope not because it looks pig ugly. Most probably a fake but the ability to play UMD's would be interesting. Looks like a projector.

That thing looks awful.
If it is real,i wonder where the controllers plug in?

Jeremy517 03-23-05 03:48 PM

They would be wireless, I assume.

That screams fake though. And a pretty horrible fake at that.

PixyJunket 03-23-05 03:49 PM

No.

Get Me Coffee 03-23-05 03:56 PM

I wonder if it will have a UMD drive?

Kuma-kun 03-23-05 04:02 PM

Hey! My phone is pictured in there too! (But mine's white :D )

And ya, that PS3 looks nasty.

jeffdsmith 03-23-05 04:38 PM

Why the hell would Sony ever put a UMD drive in the unit?

Maxflier 03-23-05 04:48 PM

Forgive my ignorance,but wtf is a UMD drive anyways?

UMD is the format of the PSP (the new Playstation Portable).

That is horrendous, but if it had PSP compatibility (along with PS1 and PS2 compatibility), I'd but it in an instant.

Ah ok thanks.I can see why they would include that,since they like backwards compatibilty.Seems like a good idea to me.I just hope to God the PS3 doesn't really look like that.

WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE PLAY GB ON A GAMECUBE? :mad: SAME IDEA PAL! MAYBE THEY COULD INTERGRATE SOME KIND OF GAMEPLAY BETWEEN PSP AND PS3, I DONT KNOW. BUT THE POINT IS, BUDDY DONT JUMP DOWN MY THROAT BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE QUESTION. :mad: GET ME COFFEE

Trigger 03-23-05 05:33 PM

wow... guess I'm the only one who likes it. I also think it's a fairly convincing fake (if it's a fake - which it probably is). I think one of the ugliest consoles since the intellivision was the PS2.

Would anyone have believed a picture of the PS2 18 months ahead of its release? I imagine we'd have heard the same 'ugly' comments...

Still probably a fake, but seems to fit in the same PSP look 'family'. Might not be too far off.

Fincher Fan 03-23-05 06:13 PM

The PS2 is still ugly so it is possible that the PS3 could look like that.

Relax there buddy... My comment was not directed towards you, rather the picture. If I wanted to respond to you I would quote you, as I did now.

Maxflier 03-23-05 06:37 PM

I like the way PS2 looks.The original one moreso than the new slim one.

E3 is less than two months away, so we'll know what it looks like then.

I don't think it looks that bad either. don't you just buy the system because of the games and not because of looks anyway?

The looks of the GC have def. hurt it in the long run. So, to answer your question, there are a lot of people that allow the looks of the system determine if buy it or not. Sony excels at sexyness, I don't think the PS3 will be an exception. I personally like the design above.

BeanDip0001 03-23-05 08:39 PM

sony has to do something different now, since microsoft is getting game makers to switch over to make games for the xbox 2. i mean sony has been on top of the market for so long, but microsoft wants to take over the console market too so it is just a matter of time before the hurt goes on. but damn that thing is ugly.

young 03-23-05 08:43 PM

in my professional opinion, it looks good. all other opinions have been refuted.

Are you serious? The PS2 is most definitely the best looking of all the current consoles in mine. Slim and industrial looking with a decent footprint.

The PS3 mockup looks like it has leather on the outside.... or maybe it's just glare on the plastic.

Gallant Pig 03-23-05 11:14 PM

He's right the PS2 is fugly.

Big difference between playing a GB game on a big screen compared to playing a UMD movie instead of a higher quality DVD.

Everyone has DVD players, there's no other option for playing GB games on the big screen.

[b]edit:[b] Also, the GB player is an add on, so people that don't want it arent' forced to pay extra for it when buying the console, as people that don't want UMD playback at home (and who does :confused: ) will have to if it's built into every PS3.

No - I pretty much buy whichever system goes best with my shoes and my purse.

In that case, you could buy a gamecube and hollow it out and use it as a purse. It comes in several great colors to match whatever your wardrobe calls for that day.

bluntman72 03-24-05 09:38 AM

I seriously doubt the PS3 will play UMD since they are already losing money on the system at launch and if they make it compatible with the PS2 and UMD it will raise their cost on each unit. I can see them keeping it compatible with the PS2 since they did that with the PS2 and PS1. the difference in the GB playable on the GC is that you have to buy an add on so they werent losing money on it. but if they do make it compatible with all 3 formats then it would be great. and I think that unit looks ugly as hell, but I would still buy it since the games are what matters to me.

But it's still better than the purse or the brick. I can't tell if you guys are joking or not.

Gallant Pig 03-24-05 10:58 AM

BeanDip0001 doesn't joke about consoles. I think it's fugly and boring. I like the black cube look much more. The brick is slightly nicer looking and from the front it looks pretty cool with the green circle lit up.

Josh H 03-24-05 11:55 AM

As long as a consoles a normal color and a reasaonble size I have couldn't care less how it looks.

The only ones I haven't liked were the indigo GC (no biggie as I got the black) and the X-box as it's too big and heavy and took some juggling to get into my entertainment center. Though the look of it is fine otherwise.

Gallant is right BeanDip doesn't joke about consoles.

it is ugly dude, the brick is a sweet looking system IMHO, but to each his own as they say, the PS2 is not a good looking system by any means, I remember on launch day when I got it thinking to myself how godawful looking the thing was, I actually like the slim system better. Hopefully for sony's sake they will not put this thing out, it looks like one of those old shitty boomboxes I had when I was a kid only it's got slots and shit all over it. it would be cool if it had some green on it and it said microsoft all over it............J/K!! :D

tek2k 03-24-05 01:53 PM

funny how all the xbox fanboys group together when it's ps2 bashing time. face it, the xbox is one ugly pos. the gamecube looks like a kids toy. the ps2 looks the best. sorry, but it's the truth. you can't beat it's sleekness. it's funny how there are so many people out there that mod their xbox. too bad it's still an ugly brick in the end. all the flashing lights and window cut outs in the world still don't hide the fact that it's fugly. lol.

I didn't realize your opinion equates to the truth. Obviously people are going to have different opinions on what looks good. Personally, i think the Xbox design looks better then the PS2, if not for the size.
