PS4 as a Multimedia Center

Although the Sony Playstation 4 is far off in the future, a lot of speculations have been made. But Paul Holmen, the Vice President of Technology for Sony Computer Entertainment, Europe, has confirmed a PS4 in the future.

We have heard about the downloadable content and backward compatible software, but what I found interesting was the conversion to a more computer-friendly system. This means that a mouse and keyboard would be sold with the PS4 for easier usability. It seems that the gaming console is turning more into a multimedia unit, with gaming, entertainment, and chat, rather than a solely gaming.

It is true that Xbox took that first step towards a multimedia unit with their Xbox 360, but when Sony Playstation puts their minds towards a goal, they are unstoppable.

Also, it is rumored that the mouse/keyboard/Playstation pack may be added to the current PS3, to satisfy consumers as they wait for the next big thing,

So why would the PS4 be so much better than the already expensive, blue-ray packed PS3? Well,  the Cell processer which Playstation consoles uses, is only partially being used. It was said 70 percent out of a hundred of the power is being taken advantage of which PS3 and it’s current games.

So it will take a lot of work for the PS4 to finally utilize its Cell Processor, but it will be worth the wait.

Playstation 4 Release Almost Common Knowledge

A lot of people are beginning to talk about the Playstation 4 release, while it is expected to be on shelves winter 2012, it is a hot topic right now. Playstation 3 consoles are now nearly profitable for the Playstation brand, this is purely console cost. iSupply has reported the estimated cost to develop a Playstation 3 at only 38 dollars above the cost of a Playstaion 3 to a consumer. This means that very soon Sony will actually be making a profit on the Playstation 3 console, this is huge for Sony as a great amount of the gaming revenue comes from the games, distribution and licensing that is involved.

This paves the way for the development of the Playstation 4. There is a lot of spectulation if the PS4 will consist some of the 3d capabilities that have been recently displayed for the (possible) next generation of televisions.

This being released by Sony does send some mixed signals, but to be honest there were a lot of great exhibits this past year at the various game shows. The 3d television could bring a whole new generation of gaming, but there was another that also caught our eye, that made us think.... maybe the next generation of gaming will just be incredibly modular, something that there will be several additions for (with the success of all of the various little Wii toys, this is likely to be the way that all console brands go). One exhibit that we thought would make a great addition to the Playstation console was the projector, check out the video below to fully understand.

It is always great to see such unique designs and ideas for the gaming world, and this is going to be addition that I expect you to see on many consoles... although dont expect it to be called the J-dome, those guys will surely be bought out... and the product marketed by each consoles brand, but this is going to be a big hit in the gaming world when the big wigs catch up...

With all of the buzz about the Playstation 4, Google News has a story on the subject nealry every day (click here to check for your self) it is anyone guess what the PS4 will offer in terms of development capabilities, gaming abilities, or even type of processor (although there are lots of rumors... One thing is for certain, the popular expected release date is 2012... Playstation 4 is already a hot topic on Google in the search engine as well (click here to check for your self) it is amazing how much information if out there, it is just trying to determine what is legitimate and what is just more from the rumor mill. We at SonyPS4.com know that there is almost no certainity yet in the Playstation 4, but can say that we do indeed believe it is now more that ever somethat that will certainly be released by Son

Playstation 3 Media Bundle – Christmas Release?

Playstation 3 Media Model coming soon?

The Playstation 3 Media Model is the most frequent rumor being spoken amongst those in the know, and those who simple claim to be... With a slimmer more reasonably priced Playstation 3 having been just released, there is a price war amongst the consoles taking place. A lot of the price cutting and marketing that is being done right now, is in a struggle to ensure as many holiday shopping dollars as the console creators can.

This year Playstation is expected to go one step beyond simply reducing the price and slimming down America's favorite video game and entertainment console... They plan on seriously adding to the entertainment aspect of the console. The Playstation 3 Media Model is expected to have a built in TV tuner and be able to receive off air channels, in addition to a top of the line BluRay player and a Bluetooth controller to run the entire system from.

The Playstation 3 Media Model is expected to have a 250 gig hard drive as well as PlayTV and Blu-Ray, this will make the Playstation 3 Media Model the number one and most popular console in front rooms across America.

This goes to show the belief that Sony will be focusing on refinement rather than a new console, building a stronger Playstation 3 means stronger relationships with the consumers, as well as the game developers... And building niche specific Playstation 3 bundles can really help put Sony in the dominant position amongst the console creators.

What do you think is the liklihood of a Playstation 3 Media Bundle console?

Would you be interested in purchasing one?

Sony Slim Playstation 3 Cheaper

Sony has officially announced and released the Slim Sony Ps3... and they said it was all rumors. The Slim Playstation 3 has just hit  the shelves and as well as a sleek new design, the Slim Playstation 3 features a new price. The Slim Playstation 3 is going to debut at the very low cost of $299, thats right, all of the great features of the original Playstation 3 console wrapped in a much more sleek design and for 100 dollars less, looks like Christmas shopping just got that much easier.

Sony claimed it was all a bunch of internet rumors, and more or less ignored the fact that it was well known that the Playstation 3 was ready to reduce in size and cost. On September 1st the playstation 3 Slim will debut, a thinner console that uses less energy, and is only $299

The whole idea that Sony had thrown a blind eye to the issue was not lost on them though. One of the best commercials... of course were bias, is this one below that was launched by the Sony Ad crew, and is just awesome.

Great way for the Playstation guys to recognize, yes there are tons of rumors out there... and NO, they are not likely to be the ones to have told you first, nor will they confirm any of those rumors... Just some side humor to go with the launch of the Slim Playstation 3 at an amazing cost of only $299

The Slim Playstation 3 is a great console at a great price, is highly recomended, and is set to hit shelves Sept. 1, but untill then lets take a look at what the new Playstation 3 console is going to look like. Below are a couple of images released by Sony, a top view and a side view featured, very sleek, very modern, and very likely to be a huge hit.

The Playstation 3 is likely to be a big hit, especially with christmas just around the corner, and the price drop could not have come at a better time for the holiday shopping! The new Playstation 3 Slim is a great opportunity for those that have not yet moved on from their Playstation 2, to finally do so.

Many are spectulatong that the Playstation 4 release will be pushed back even father due to the price drop in the Playstation 3. A cheaper Playstation 3 leans to the theory that Sony will begin pushing much lower cost and more niche games through the Playstation Network, offering users to play more games for less money.

3D Playstation Gaming Sooner Than Expected

3D Playstation gaming can be coming much faster than anyone had ever expected... With only about 40% of the current Playstation users utilizing the HD technology currently at their finger tips, no one was really expecting for Playstation to be pushing for the next generation display technology. But Sony is.

The Sony 3D Bravia is a 3D TV, yeah we said 3D... We have a video below from CES 2009 that talks about some of the progress that had been completed on the 3D TV, but word is Sony has come miles since this video was created.

This is far more than a rumor, or even spectulation... This is going to be in the next generation of console from Sony.

The Financial Times has a great report outlining some very key points about the future of Sony, and the 3D technology, but the most important quote for gamers is...

Due to speak today at the IFA technology trade show in Berlin, Sir Howard Stringer, Sony chief executive, will announce plans not only to sell 3D Bravia television sets, but to make Sony's Vaio laptop computers, PlayStation 3 games consoles and Blu-ray disc players compatible with the technology.

Now read that carefully, they are referring to the Playstation 3 being a 3D console in the not too distant future... Is it a typo, speculation, were they referring to the Playstation 4, or are we really going to see changes of that magnitude to the Playstation 3? Many speculate that the Playstation 3 console will experience massive changes before the console is fazed out for the next generation.

Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer has been recorded stating the "3D train is on the track--and we're the ones to drive it home." This is just one more display of Sony wanting to push above and beyond the compitention and offer the best available gaming experience. Bringing the 3D technology to the Playstation 3 will bring in such a greater value on, what is already the best buy for your dollar, the third generation Playstation console.

With the IFA trade show just around the corner, we are likely to hear more very soon!

Sony Playstation 3 Price Drop

There is a Sony Playstation 3 price drop looming in the not too distant future, can even say it is begining to take place now. This is all in preparation for Sony to launch the slim Playstation 3. So if you are looking to buy one of the most amazing systems that have been released to date, this is your chance! There has never been a better time to purchase a Playstation 3 game console, with christmas coming up, might even be worth buying 2 Playstation 3 consoles and gifting one this year... There really is no better gift. And if you dont need your console to be thin, buying the larger one before the slim PS3 is launched is going to get you the best deal possible.

A slim Playstation 3 means that the Blu-Ray player will likely be skipped over, and that may keep the overall development cost down, making it more likely for the Playstation 3 to stick around for a few more years as the primary console for Sony.

A price drop on the Sony Playstation 3 can be exactly what the Playstation needs to be pushed ahead of the Xbox 360 for once and for all. It is our belief that Sony is finally ready to take its place as the number one console with the Playstation 3. The number one aspect that has been working against the Playstation 3 game console has been it's higher price, and necessity to match Microsoft's Xbox Live network. Now that the Playstation has a fully developed Playstation online network including the Playstation store, the company can now look at lowering the cost of the console to push it self further ahead of the pack...

The Playstation 3 game console has matched or nearly matched the Xbox 360 in overall sales, even though the Xbox launched a year earlier, had a more developed online network, and offered lower cost development capabilities for their game developers. Now that the Playstation 3 has matched the Xbox Live capabilities, has made even more moves to reduce game development costs, its now time for the long awaited Playstation 3 Price cut.

Playstation 3 is and will be the the leading gaming console, this is because they will and have created some of the greatest gaming titles ever, any true gamer needs a Playstation 3, if you haven't picked yours up yet, this is the time to buy a Playstation 3!

Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XII has launched and gotten nothing but amazing reviews from all over the gaming community. The Final Fantasy XII game scores off the charts when it comes to game play and graphics! The new Final Fantasy XII battle system and map system add a lot of great game play, this is going to be viewed as one of the best Final Fantasy games of all time! Amazing story line, just an all around top notch game...

Which begs the question... whats gonna happen for Final Fantasy XIII...

Recently the Japanese magazine, JUMP, has leaked some very useful information when it comes to the next generation in the Final Fantasy saga. Final Fantasy XIII is going to bring in a lot of characters that have only before made brief appearances either in cut scenes or brief parts of the Final Fantasy story, a lot of new back story, and a lot of new story! Vanille is a character that is named and has reportedly played brief periods in different games withing the Final Fantasy saga, you should certainly recognize her from a couple of the trailers that have been leaked.

Final Fantasy XIII is going to be another hit, will launch this winter in Japan, and hopefully worldwide shortly after... They must know by know the whole world loves Final Fantasy!

Japanese Playstation Store Beyond Playstation

The Japanese Playstation store has continued to increase their available game list beyond anything that is available to the American audience and even more superior when compared to the European Playstation Network. The most recent additions to the Japanese Playstation store are even outside the realm of something you would expect from Playstation... They are Turbografx-16 games!

Remember the short lived Turbografx-16, while it wasn't the best console of its time, it did have quite a few great games, 5 of which Sony is now offering to their Japanese Playstation Network audience! Imaging the possibility of picking and choosing your favorite titles from all of the consoles of yesteryear. The game options are truly amazing and this can be one of the best moves for Sony when trying to recapture their audience, and put them back in the number one spot when it comes to at home gaming consoles.

What really needs to happen now, is Sony needs to release these titles to the American and European audiences. With so many of these classic titles and so many of these as former favorites, it should be the logical next move for Sony to unleash the classics at the very least, hopefully soon!

The Playstation Network is likely to remain the front line for future changes for the Playstation brand, at least over the next several months, this will give Sony the ability to build up their online network during a time when traditional sales are suffering due to economic issues. While all of this is likely putting off the Playstation 4 release, it all encompasses the infrastructure necessary to really stand out in the coming years.
