The March issue of PlayStation Magazine reveals new information on Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 3. According to the article the PS3 will have an online service to rival Xbox Live, work as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) to record television broadcasts, and will also act as a Location Free player for the PSP. This will allow PSP users with broadband internet access to watch television and movies streamed from their PS3 to their PSP anywhere in the world.
In addition to the surprising multimedia features, the PS3 will also have an online download service similar to iTunes which will allow PS3 owners to download high definition videos to their PlayStations. The article goes on to mention that several titles are already in development in the U.S. and that a North American release for the system will likely occur this fall.
Here is a list of the key points in the article…
* PS3 will have online service that goes beyond xbox live
* PS3 will be a DVR
* It will connect with psp
* There are alot of games being worked on for it right now in the US (alot more then what people know about)
* The final ps3 dev kit are alot faster than they thought (according to the developer)
* The ps3 will have an itunes type service to let you download HI DEF movies, music, etc
* The Ps3 will take the media center functionality the 360 has even further
* PS3 will serve as a location free player for the psp, means you can watch the dvd’s that you have in your psp on your psp (from anywhere in the world), or any other video files you have on your ps3, though this is still only being planned.
* PSP will be able to send its files straight to the psp from anywhere in the world, and it can also control its DVR functionalities
* Firmware updates will add more functionality, much like with the psp
* The Blu Ray Player functionality doesnt cost as much as a stand alone player because the Cell and RSX can take care of alot of the stuff the ps3 will need to do to be able to read the disks
* Fall release date for ps3, no release date for online service, but expected to launch w/ the system
