Visual Boy Advance, Project 64 and ZSNES were some of the popular emulators for the games from the NES, the 8-bit sega and the Nintendo DS. Surprisingly, Kotaku claims that it has discovered something that will allow games of the Wii, 360 and PS3 platform to be played on the PC. For the sake of it, this could be just like that Microsoft Xbox 360 Blu-ray version. Living with denials.
Atlast, you can now show off that neck breaking turn or the brutal headshot on youtube. API has announced that developers now can include YouTube API for their future Playstation 3 games. This also means that it will allow developers to include the upload and the download button directly into the game, so that users can do both instantaneously. Electronic Arts’s Skate already uses a similar technology but the video is hosted by themselves.
Ben Heck has done it again. This time he manages to cram an entire Playstation 3 into a laptop. Last time he did the same with the Xbox 360 Elite.
The portable PS3(as he calls it) features a slick, glossy black case, and with a 720p 17-inch LCD screen. The Bluray drive finds its place in the front as a slot loader also he didn’t mind fitting in a full USB keyboard.
This is for the freaks who love there PSP’s. The good news is, you can change the controller settings on PSone games and quit remote play from the PS3 without affecting the download. The bad news is, this update is of no use to you if you don’t have a PS3. In short, the update contains the following :
♦ As told above, you now have the ‘ability’ of changing the controller buttons to your convenience. For this, proceed to Controller Settings > Assign buttons > Custom.
Recently Sony’s PS3 again was in the news with rumors about a possible 120GB PS3 coming in following weeks, but Sony representatives have responded that have no such plans under wraps, atleast in the UK.
“We do not currently have any plans to release a 120GB PlayStation 3 in the UK” (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, SCEE)
But hey if its not in UK, then what about outside UK.
Recently Sony laid out it plans to make the PS3 much cheaper with component removals. But today MCV reports that a new Playstation 2 model might hit US by next year for just $99. The new model as reported might sport a more “compact” design and have a “built-in power supply.”
The decision may also come as Sony’s sometime back decided to drop all backwards compatibility from the new 40GB PS3 model. But as usual Sony representatives “refused to comment” over it. But I’m sure they are regretting their decision on dropping PS2 compatibility from the PS3. Now question is would you go for a spanking new PS3 or the 7 year old veteran the PS2. Whats your take on this guys?
Atlast Sony confirms the new 40GB Playstation 3. The new PS3 isn’t just a toned down version of the previous editions. Thou the hard disk have been cut down to 40GB, Sony decided its time for the newer 65nm version of the Cell processor and the RSX.
The new processor would run much cooler and quieter, plus reduction of power consumption to around 135 Watts down from 200 Watts. Other changes include the new motherboard. At the same time, Sony installs the revised Heat Pipe, which now seems less massive. To save the system time integrates Sony also is a button battery on the motherboard. Finally PS3 will be cheap enough for a poor guy like me.
