Also, from what articles I've read in PSM and OPM the PS3 will not come with a hard drive but will act like the PSP and use different size memory cards to store things.

Do people seriously believe that it will launch before Fall.

PS3 hasn't even been shown yet.

Fall at the very latest but this'll only apply to the Japanese release, U.S. gamers will have to wait. :argue:
I don't see Sony pulling off a worldwide release. :juggler:

That would cause a shortage that would make the 360 and PS2 launch look small in comparison to the mad rush that would ensue when the PS3 hits shelves. I'll peg the Japanese lanch May 6, 2006 and the US release November 11, 2006, when do all of you think the PS3 will debut?

I'm thinking of a november release for Japan and then a North American release followed shortly after and then a Eropean release.

For some reason I think Sony won't release the PS3 in the summer, mainly because summer is the weakest time for game releases. In Japan though, the gaming industry doesn't live for Christmas as much as the US does, which is a good thing (I hate it when the crowd mega releases in the early Winter).

I wish it would be released this summer in north america, but yea I doub't they will release it this summer.

Hmm, I'm guessing May/June for Japan and September/October for the U.S. with Europe getting it either late November or anytime in Dec.

I got a feeling that europe will either get it late december or early 2007.

I was quite surprised by their games list, as I haven't heard about even half of these titles until now. The sci fi and RPG type games sound incredible, especially titles like Alan Wake (sounds creepy).

I think it's hopeful optimism that they confirm FFVII Remake as a title, but hey, I'm waiting for an announcement myself.

IIRC, Tetsuya Nomura has gone on record saying he wants to. Seeing as he's such a large part of Square-Enix now, I think the only thing in the way is how much he has to be juggling.

His team just got down with KHII and Dirge of Cerberus, but I think they're also up for the next FF (or is it Kitase's go this time). Either way, as you said, it depends on how much they've got on their hands.

Of course it's been said several times that he wants to do it, there's no surprise there. But the real question is 'when' he'll do it, or if he's even working on it now.

It's hard to say what Nomura is working on as he's commented that he's got a multiple number of projects he's going to be working on. As for the FFVII remake, Nomura originally stated he had no interest in a FFVII remake but last September he changed his tune and expressed some interest in heading the remake after all his other projects were done. No doubt the success of Advent Children swayed his original comment.

Anyways did anyone check out the new edition of the 1UP Show with some shots of The Darkness and PS3 footage of John Woo's Strangehold?

Is The Darkness based on the comic of the same name, or what.

I hope like hell europe doesn't need to wait until 07. I mean, the 360 was released in 05. And the PS3 is being released in 07? That's quite a gap for Microsoft to fill.

Time fly's so soon you wont even realize, except for the companies noticing how how much money they made or lost.

Yeah, that's why you'll notice I said late November or anytime in December, rather than early 2007. It's possible Sony may launch in Sept with the PS3, giving them about 3 months more to iron out issues and get supplies up over the summer.
