LOL. That's funny and also kinda insulting. But it's nothing new coming from Sony, we've heard it all during the PS2 hype, how it's the ultimate gaming machine, media center, blah blah blah. Now they're claiming that PCs are not needed. Ahahahaa...

But the comment about not copying Wii insults our intelligence..... it's just so obvious that they did. Before Wii was announced, Sony never even mentioned having motion-sensing in the controller. And of course, if it really was developed a loooooong time ago, why was there only ONE game in E3 that showcased the motion-sensing, whereas Nintendo had a whole gallery of games to show off?

weather report by Sony do u get the joke?

old news,la...i've posted in the ps3 thread already

nowadays all the console company tried to come out with a catchy slogan to get us buying their consoles

Actually it's true. If all you intend to do is play games, watch media and surf web, you really don't need a PC.

I'm already doing that with a modifed XBOX (although the web surfing part is limited in many ways).

MS isn't any better. Why the XBOX360 needs to hook up to a Windows Media PC?? It can do all those things without it but MS cleverly locked into the WMPC to boost that market segment.

Screw em All.

Hail to Nintendo!!!

are there any BT client for xbox?

very good news ..because myself i dont have pc at home ...

Assuming what he said is true (which by itself requires a huge leap of faith), first he has to show us working, final hardware

We do not need the PC. We have the... um... PSP, PS2, PS1.... yeah

Man... what the ***...


Sounds like he is trying to insult PC gamers...

Hey Phil Harrison...

...Try playing RTS using PS3's "tilt sensor"

Coming out from the creator of PS2 + AOL....

I say..no.


Console is a console.
Pc is still a pc.

There just aren't enough freedom when we use console for surfing web especially....

phil gila d...ask him throw away his pc and c..

i guess we are now going toward it, imagine a standard system for home user... no hussle like booting pc, installing application.. upgrades.. and less work for developers

I wonder, does PS3 have 500GB SATA drive? Or does PS3 have Intel Pentium D 3.0 Ghz? Or, can I burn CD via PS3? Can anyone answer this??

ahhhh corporate people .. wonder if the same would come out of his mouth if XBox is not from Microsoft. .. and yeah right ... we dont need a PC (to do accounting, word processing etc), but we ALL NEED 50g of space to play HD games .. oh yeah .. i think we dont need the mobile version of pc, u know the notebooks ... especiallu the overprice and tiny Vaio

and yeah i record tv shows on my pc ... i think the Sony shud shut the fcuk up. Everything they say would backfire one way or another. i heard someone from Sony's PR has resigned .. I wonder why! oh wait the minute .. maybe because she is tired of being ambushed with unanswerable questions which are the end results of stupids remarks and statements from Sony heads

the hard disk is upgradable...and knowing malaysians,sure want bigger one


it isnt made by intel la


the PSX could burn DVDs,iinm...but it failed...

1) No, but it's upgradeable. And i suppose connecting a LANDISK to a local network shouldn't be much of a problem.

2) No. No Intel inside. But a 3.2Ghz Cell processor. Pentium D is just so yesterday anyway.

3) No. Pirated copies of software not allowed.

okay after the "PC is irrelavent" statement from Harrison, anothe Sony head, O'Hanrahan (Ireland) claims that PC games are back ..
they are sooo funny .. i hope Sony would learn the lesson and launch their future products together with other competitor .. they like omg .. mumbling here and there

Sony gets realistic, but remains confusing

More PR strangeness from Sony: Niall O'Hanrahan, a representative of Sony Computer Entertainment in Ireland has added his words to the boiling pot of Sony sound bites. Speaking to the Irish Times, his words offer a slightly more pessimistic tone. Regarding tasks that Sony has set itself with the PS3, O'Hanrahan said "we have a marketing challenge from now until launch. This is not a done deal. It will require a lot of effort from us." He also referred to the extra competition that the PS3 has to face due to its role as more than just a game console: "Competition is now not limited to direct competition. We compete with MP3 players. We noticed at E3 that games for PCs are back."

It's nice to see someone from Sony remaining realistic about the challenges the company faces as it tries to sell the PS3 to early adopters, especially considering the jolt that the value of the PlayStation brand must have taken after the console's price was announced. However, we have to point out an obvious contradiction in his words. Wasn't it Phil Harrison that said a few days ago that the PS3 will make the PC irrelevant? Who are we supposed to believe: Phil's harsh words for the PC, or O'Hanrahan's word of warning about PCs being "back" (in town)?

neither.
just get both

Sony PC range (VAIO):
"We do not need Phil Harrison".



Just setting things right.

It would best if we could play console games using PC.....
Maybe Sony should come out something like 2 in 1 - VAIO and PS

i dont think so...the cost would be


knowing sony,they'll make you buy more stuff,then 2 in 1 gadgets!

Just like the concept Sony Ericsson is doing now. Walkman, CyberShot embbed hp.

Remember the PSX (no, not the original PSOne)?
Sony isn't good at makng 2-in-1 gadgets.

yeah,still very much in my brains,that gadget...
and its not just 2-in-1...
it is..
PSOne
PS2
dvd recorder
tv tuner

and other stuff all rolled into one
it can also stream psone games to the psp,iinm...(through the use of another gadget,ofcourse )
but it lags...1 sec lag per movement,i think

yeah sure, OF COURSE we can design circuits, do programming, write a letter, use bittorent, sync ipod, manage files in psp, view words, powerpoint slides, use printer, edit photo, encode mp4, avc movies, alll that using just ps3. PC is just already obsolete and useless already

But really...look on the bright side...some of us could be having PS3 in our labs at the Uni coz they replaced all the pc with them. Isn't that something to look forward to?

sort off....

i mean if what kutaragi says is true,they could come out with "school package ps3"

the specs are very low,but enough to do school work-and not play games

LOL. I really think Ken is becoming senile. The whole idea of a console is to have a standard platform.

Oh no it shouldnt be much a problem. the PC can handle just about anything. of course, all the console makers will have to forego the money they make from people who know shit about PCs. so, fat chance.

Maybe it become an education console!!! Ladeez n gentlemen...may we present to you, the

LEARN STATION?
EDU STATION?
ABC STATION?
KIDS STATION?

hee.hee...

The problem will be, everyone busy playing games and nobody is doing their assignment!!! LOL.

then i wonder how sony develop games without pc..hmmmph...interesting...wat will intell ,AMD ,Apple.Nvidia ,ATI will think huh....sony have alots enemy to face if that is true...hehe...
