PS3 Conference Report - Date and More! News Story From 1UP.com
Finally, some real details from Sony about the PS3.
- Sony plans to release the PS3 in Japan, North America, and Europe simultaneously within the first 10 days of November.
- The PS3 will include a 60GB hard drive (which is upgradeable) with Linux preinstalled.
- Sony's online service called the "PlayStation Network Platform", will feature such functions as matchmaking, messaging, rankings, friends lists, voice/video chat, in-game shopping, and game downloads to the hard drive. Best of all, the service will be free (as of right now, it isn't clear on whether there will also be a paid tier of service similar to Xbox Live Gold). The service will also allow for publishers to connect their own game servers.
Sony also offered an apology for the screwup. I hope Sony keeps their word from now on and we can get our hands on PS3's by this Christmas.
Good day!
