Sony has just finished their pre-show conference for E3 announcing some of the games and plans for the Playstation 3. The main highlights:
- Playstation 3 prices 20gig is $500 and 60gig is $600
- release date is around november 17 in the US, Nov 11th in Japan.
- Controller is bluetooth wireless and supports motion sensing technology in the usual Duel Shock controller package.
- Final Fantasy XIII is coming for PS3 (most likely sometime late 2007)
- games are the usual shoot em up, beat em up, drive and play sports variety. IE PS's stock and trade.
- the PSP will have an emulator added so can download and play orginial playstation games (the cost of a game was unspecified). PSP future updates will include RSS video, Flash and VoIP.
Other E3 rumor suggests that Nintendo Wii is going to be $250 and also released in November. Basically XBox has about 6 months to build as strong a stranglehold in the industry it can (and will probably fail to do). Blow by blow of the conference with some screenshots here.
