The price of PS3 is "59,800 yen"

It is released on Saturday, November 11. Tax inclusive price is 62,790 yen.

However, this is for the 20 GB hard disk model, and for the 60 GB model it is "open price". I wonder if it will be added or 10,000 yen? The main body color is clear black.

Memory is 256 MB, video memory also 256 MB. Four USB 2.0 ports are installed. What is it used for?

Also, the higher model is equipped with Memory Stick · SD Card · Compact Flash Slot. LAN port for net connection corresponds to gigabit. The upper model is equipped with IEEE 802.11b / g wireless LAN. Is encryption compatible with docs? Is it okay to download and upgrade?

The controller uses Bluetooth 2.0 wirelessly. Also HDMI terminal for higher model. Without this it is impossible to make big screen. As a matter of course, the built-in drive is read-only BD 2 × speed, DVD 8 × speed, CD 24 × speed, SACD 2 × speed, compatible with Blu-ray.

The external dimension is about 325 × 98 × 274 mm (width × height × depth), and the weight is about 5 kg ... heavy.

Further details are as follows.


Software is compatible with "Playstation" and "Playstation 2" (PS 2), the chip is Cell / RSX as planned.

In addition, Gigabit Ethernet and HDD (hard disk drive) are installed in all models. It is possible to download various contents via the network, correspond to online games, use online service.

It has basic input / output terminals and supports wide flat display compatible with full HD (1080i / 1080p) from conventional TV (NTSC / PAL). Also, of course, it is obvious that pursuing waste heat / silent measures thoroughly, and that it is securing the quietness of the current PS2 level. It seems that we are doing quite well.

In addition, content recorded on BD (Blu-ray Disc) of the largest capacity and high image quality among Next Generation DVDs can be reproduced with a margin at the highest bit rate (multiplexing: 48 Mbps) stipulated by the BD standard And that.

In addition, the standard PS3 dedicated controller is equipped with a new 6-axis detection system with high accuracy and high speed response
Built-in stem. In addition to the "posture three axes" of Roll (left and right inclination), Pitch (forward and backward inclination), and Yaw (left and right swing), information of "3 axes (XYZ) acceleration" of the controller itself can be detected with high accuracy in real time. This seems that in addition to conventional digital / analog key input information, "natural" and "intuitive" operation became possible as if the controller became part of the player's body.

By adopting this inclination detection controller, the vibration function that was equipped in the conventional "DUALSHOCK" "DUALSHOCK 2" is said to be removed from "PS3 dedicated controller" because the vibration itself interferes with the detection information. Well, if the gagga gets shaken, it creates a tilt towards the direction in which it does not vibrate, and you will not be able to play ... that seems interesting with that ....

I will also use Bluetooth 2.0 wirelessly, but I will use USB 2.0 on wired. All the input information is transmitted to the PS3 main unit at high speed and accurately by the wireless communication technology "Bluetooth". In addition to switching from wireless connection to wired connection seamlessly via the USB cable, you can smoothly transfer battery charging during operation and return to wireless connection after charging by removing the USB cable. It may be nice to correspond to both wireless and wired.

Anyway, I am concerned about the price of the top model.
