Playstation 3 in time for Christmas?  by Shane L at 13:47

Playstation 3? An article over on The Register makes interesting reading, certainly a prime time to release a PS3.

Sony and IBM today said they will ship workstations based on the pair's upcoming Cell parallel processing chip in December.

The machines will be geared toward digital content creation, so we're essentially talking PlayStation 3 software development machines here.

I think like most we can only hope :-)

More news this way

It's only the develoment workstations, be mid to end 2005 at the earliest before ps3 appears, maybe even 2006.

I won't be getting one anyway, can't stand console controllers.

PC + Mouse > cacky thumb twiddling controllers

Aye but thats just a concept box, it will probaly look nothgin like that when it finally gets released.

I'd stake my life on it looking like a piece of hi-fi or dvd equipment tbh.


Why not register and have your say?
