Did Sony anounce it yet? If so where's a link?
A long time ago I read an article about the disc format it's going to use, back then they were called "Blue Discs", they look like encased CDs, big mini discs and are, hence the name, blue. Supposedly they have very small loading time and large, large storage capacity, more than that of a DVD I think.
Sony hasn't officially announced it yet, besides they are probably tied down working on the PSP right now
I've heard about it, but nothing that's probably too reliable at the moment. We all know it's coming, and that's about it. Personally, I think they should wait a bit longer before releasing new systems. It sort of bothers me that I'll go and spend 200, 150 bucks on this, and then in the next few years, I'm going to end up doing that again. But that might just be me.
All this info we've known for a while now:
-It's coming in fall of 2006
-It uses new processor and disc technology that Sony themselves spent the money and time to develop
And that's uhhh... about it.
Oh, and why would Sony be "tied down with the PSP" right now? It's basically out in Japan, and not much will have to change for the US launch... the PSP is a very small project compared to the PS3 which they've been working on for years now, and early development of games (for all next gen systems) started in many places such as EA, earlier this year. Most developers however will jump on projects for the "new" systems (remember, Nintendo's and Sony's are still almost 2 years away) when their initial information is unveiled at E3 in 5 months.
Sony should theoretically unveil the console at E3 2005, which would put the PS3 down for a late 2006 release. As those above have said, Sony is backing the Blu-Ray format, which it believes will be the major storage format of the future. It's fairly likely that the PS3 will use this type of disc, therefore.
But nothings actually been confirmed yet, so I suppose we'll just have to wait for some hard facts to crop up before discussing Sony's future.

Sounds nice ^_^
Sounds expensive. *twitch* T_T
The technology is called Blu-Ray, actually. It's been in development for years, but I think they're just releasing it publicly soon. Like 25gb of storage compared to the 4.7 of today's DVDs.Originally Posted by Necronopticous
Systems have generally come out in five-year intervals, I believe. So 2006 isn't very soon at all.I've heard about it, but nothing that's probably too reliable at the moment. We all know it's coming, and that's about it. Personally, I think they should wait a bit longer before releasing new systems.

SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
In fact, a single Blu-Ray disc is capable of storing 54 Gigabytes of data. That's an absolutely enormous amount of data, and a very impressive statistic to work with.

I seriously was wondering why this thread was titled "Problem Set 3". Took me a while to figure out what it was.
Silly Neel xD
And wow, 54 gb (that's more than my computer stores >_>). Imagine the games to come out of that, then.... *_*
Fall 2006? I thought it would be released in Fall 2005. Oh well, not like I'll get it. I'm at the point in my life where games just aren't fun enough anymore. I even let my brother take the PS2 with him since it just collects dust in the house.
The PS3 might do for the Blu-Ray Disc what the PS2 did for the DVD, and that is standardize it. Imagine an entire season of Smallville on one disc. Not bad. I mainly used the PS2 as a DVD player.
I'll probably wait until the PS3 drops really low and stuff and then get it as a cheap BRD player.
PS2 didn't really standardize the DVD, the DVD standardized itself.
