The Playstation 3 is MISTAH KURTZ HE DEAD
Froze on startup screen. Restarted, it loaded the xmb literally ten times slower than usual, then refused to play a film. Went to safe mode and tried to restore file system but it froze. Restarted normal mode and it offered to rebuild file system, got to 100% and then froze on restart. Tried again, same again.

My PS3 made some worrying noises when I tried to eject a DVD (wasn't sure if there was anything in it). After a sweaty few minutes of power off/power on/try ejecting, it finally spat out a DVD. It then played another DVD fine (Princess Mononoke, since you ask), so I celebrated by buying 3D Dot Game Heroes, which I've been meaning to pick up since, well, whenever it came out. I'm sure I'll get bored of it a few hours in, but I love the idea.

It reminds me of any number of crazy-looking-but-basically-rubbish Japanese games from the PS1/PS2 days, but has SCE Japan Studio ever actually made a bad game? It's hard to think of one. So this really could be a great as it looks.

Sleeping Dogs is fun. Yakuza series transposed onto GTA engine... but a Japanized version of GTA. Hints of Shenmue.

What's really perplexing are the comments from the fanboys saying that it looks better that the current PS3 slim. It's like a PS3 shaped children's lunchbox.
― a great poke for Jet Set Willy (snoball), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
Actually what's really perplexing is Sony's decision making here. This holiday season, the last before the PS4 drops, would have been a chance to drop the price and sell PS3 slims on the arguments: 1) it's cheap, 2) there's a load of games, many of which are classics this gen, 3) another 10-12 months of titles, 4) you can actually find one in a store as opposed to the already mostly sold out WiiU.

I dunno, I kinda like the way the new one looks. are re: This holiday season, the last before the PS4 drops -- is this confirmed? I am NOT seeing this happen imo. I don't know anything but I wd guess 14.
― #1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
Not confirmed, but are Sony really going to let Microsoft have an almost 1 year headstart, and Nintendo a nearly 2 year headstart?

― a great poke for Jet Set Willy (snoball)
Their decision making has been perplexing for the last six years!
Seriously though, I can imagine it's possible they just can't afford to release these consoles at a much cheaper price. I don't think it's that ugly. Actually none of the consoles this generation have been appealing looking. It's definitely nice that it's smaller (and uses less power).
― JCL, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link
i just wished they'd dropped the price some more, since it's obviously a cheaper build
that said, i'm shocked MS and Sony haven't put out some info to try to spoil Nintendo's season a little, ala PS2/Dreamcast
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:31 (eleven years ago) link
but yeah it looks fine to me more or less
is MS confirmed holiday 2013? i shd probably know these things but i was def under the impression that we were talking holiday 14 for both of em.
― #1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:40 (eleven years ago) link
no, just rumors... a bunch of devs have already started working on games for the upcoming systems, but assuming they started this summer, 18 months of dev time isn't that great for launch titles. 2-3 years is more believable
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:42 (eleven years ago) link
but the last guardian is DEFINITELY confirmed for holiday 2012 right
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
there was a rumour a while back that MS were aiming for holiday 2013 but were having production problems with chip production - no idea how true that was though.just realised that WiiU will have playable versions of 2D Mario, Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter at launch. if that doesn't shift hardware then Japan will surely be signaling that they are abandoning consoles for good.

― #1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.)
Nothing has been announced. The general feeling is that Microsoft and Sony are aiming for holiday 2013. Developers have the systems and are working on games. My feeling is that we will see them by Spring 2014 at the worst. Sales have been really poor for most of the year & something has to be done to freshen things up, sooner rather than later. But it does make you wonder why Sony would release a new PS3 hardware refresh, if the console will be out-of-date in 12 months (though I imagine they could also still hope to sell PS3s for a few years after PS4 gets released, especially if the rumors about a lack of backwards compatibility turn out to be true).
