Anonymous at 0:36 1/8/2006 Anonymous at 20:8 1/7/2006 Thats exactly what sony is doing isn't it? shoving an unproven technology in it and claiming it's great? if it was any better then the average GPU they all would be like it Anonymous at 20:8 1/7/2006 Anonymous at 19:12 27/6/2006 the Xbox360 also has new tech in the GPU of the R500. It's the ONLY GPU on the market that has embedded DRAM on the GPU and the only GPU that has a unified shader archetecture. No other GPU has this. Professional workstation GPU or Consumer GPU. That's innovation Thomas at 16:59 28/6/2006 I guess this device just to match a skeliton to the 2D image-recognition and tries to backwards deduce the 3D positions of yourself/enviroment. Two cameras at angles would help. 3D radar &or IR reflection scanning would be best. Both add costs though. (the second a lot more then the first) I am also highly skeptical of accuracy. Wouldnt profesional mocap studios be using this ages ago if it was accurate? Anonymous at 19:12 27/6/2006 So does MS, though I guess to many people fall for Xbox hype to notice as Anonymous at 17:32 27/6/2006 said it's because the eyetoys success MS is STEALING the idea, also Yes yes yes Sony has no inovation now blow your loads allready and tell me.... whats so new and inovative about the 360 the PS3 has newer tech then it does even if it's not the best so why do people say Sony isn't but leave MS alone (besides the blatent fanboyism) Anonymous at 17:41 27/6/2006 Forget the stealing. Sony just sucks and steals ideas. The last "true innovative" idea Sony had that suceeded was the Sony Walkman. That's it. Anonymous at 17:32 27/6/2006 Wow that old "failed" tech your talking about seemed to have done well enough for MS to wanna steal it and use it on there console PS: I never liked the eyetoy however I don't consider my opinion fact Anonymous at 6:29 27/6/2006 whoa...... that "new" tecnology sound exactly just like the old-failed-now-garbage eye toy. Anonymous at 7:1 26/6/2006 Father of Sony is demoted. LOL. Ken Kutaragi got demoted from the head postion at Sony. Gee, i wonder if this was because of all the bad news and lies about the PS3 or maybe the fact that Sony Corp. lost 66.5 Billion Yen for the period of Jan-March? lol. Anonymous at 21:17 25/6/2006 "PS3 Secret Weapon The latest rumor going around is that the PS3 is actually going to have a 3D perception. Once again this story is TOTALLY unfounded so don’t get all riled up just yet." -Hardocp- That sums this megagames story up. lol Dead FU at 20:38 25/6/2006 biff rapes you! deadeye at 15:36 25/6/2006 biff rapes pelicans! Anonymouse at 2:59 25/6/2006 Its FTW TBH. Anonymous at 2:56 25/6/2006 So it's what a camera with some funky software? It can see in 3d but if your going to be standing/sitting in front of the thing does that not mean you will still only be using the basic left right up down hand covering lens for super points like the eye toy already does? not a fanboy of any system just games:) Anonymous at 2:27 25/6/2006 biff likes pelicans.... Anonymous at 15:38 24/6/2006 If this was a Sony exclusive piece of hardware, then i would give Sony props and praise. It is not. It will be available for all platforms if people actually have interest in it. So i have no idea why Megagamesdeems this as worthy news material. Maybe to help offset all the bad press Sony has been receiving lately...... Anonymous at 15:31 24/6/2006 my name is biff and i like pelicans MiNaTeK at 14:51 24/6/2006 The PC Will Kills always!!! Anonymous at 12:15 24/6/2006 word... PC owns!!! Anonymous at 12:0 24/6/2006 The only decent hardware made for any console was the Super Mario Bros 3 cartridge for the NES. Other than that, PC kicks consoles' ass on every playing field. Lewis at 8:54 24/6/2006 Nintendo fan boys are still around in great numbers look at the interest in their device! Sony announce technology not developed by themselves and not exclusive to themselves, which no-one has seen working, and sony fan boys think we're gonna go all 'oooh s**t sony's on to a winner here'? I'll wait to see how the wii controller works before i pass judgement but knowing the big N i'm sure it will rock. Knowing sony i think the new technology will suck c**k! Anonymous at 20:52 23/6/2006 Maybe Sony should work on something more important in basic gaming? How about Rumble Sony? You don't have that and all the other consoles do, including the PC. You won't have it period. That's sad. Real sad. Who cares about this so called "innovation". This is not a Sony only product so it's going to be released on all gaming formats at sometime. When Sony decides to release the PS3 the way they described it at E3 2005, then i will line up to buy a $600 PS3. The PS3 at E3 2005 with all it's "demos" is not the same PS3 at 2006. Anonymous at 20:36 23/6/2006 I don't see the big deal here. This is not a "exclusive" product for Sony. If Logitech is going to make one, expect one for the PC and Xbox360 and the Wii down the road if this thing takes off. More markets+more systems=$$$ MS will get this for sure as Logitech has very very close ties with Microsoft. Nothing special Big Metroid at 16:53 23/6/2006 Just another viral marketing thing. Think ilovebees or that site for Metroid Prime 2. There are "easter eggs" all over the site, but no real links to anything else. Anonymous at 16:21 23/6/2006 would be cool to know what happens if I take a load in front of this thing? will machines learn about excrement? it's getting dangerous folks. smack at 14:53 23/6/2006 oh god, what kind of gimmick wanna be last resort bs will sony think of next? daanish at 12:59 23/6/2006 stop oggeling at hardware and get a woman u idiots. mash at 11:17 23/6/2006 a nice concept i guess, but if i can get it for my PC, without paying $600 for ps3... well, guess what... PC all the way. although ps3 sounds more like a pc that you cant upgrade. im getting a WII Nintendo all the way - revolution time!!! i hope... :p ps, Megagames posting service is pooooo!!! Anonymous at 11:7 23/6/2006 yeah wow. seems pointless ;) Anonymous at 10:56 23/6/2006 Let's not forget Sony and Microsoft's joint development of a special device that is optional for both the PS3 and the Xbox360. It's a device which allows you to pretend you're sitting on a chair when really your just sitting on the floor. In the middle of most games you can press a special button and, using its in-built camera, it will take a photo of you and display you sitting on a chair. Think about it people... Go PC. Anonymous at 9:39 23/6/2006 ITs the begining of the end fools! the machines are learning!!!!! runnn awayyyyy OH NOES!!!! Anonymous at 9:19 23/6/2006 pc had this in the early 90s Anonymous at 8:47 23/6/2006 I'll get one for my PC. Sif i'd buy a PS3 though... Anonymous at 8:44 23/6/2006 Anon below me, how very true :) This sounds wicked sweet. I'd get one for PS3 and for my PC, looks like 360 kids will have to sit back and do the watching haha If they manage to make this thing work well in a game, it will be incredible. If they fail, it would stink. PS3 should have a rumble controller that uses this new thing for player movement, that's strange but not far out (especially since the Wii has basiclly the same thing). Anonymous at 8:32 23/6/2006 hum, you know, as soon as something cool for the ps3 is announced, all the Wii/Nintendo fanboys are nowhere to be seen, thats weird. I reckon that it would be a good addon, but like all preferials, it will have to be utilised properly. Probably would work in dating sims or someting. Sam The Man at 6:3 23/6/2006 Rofl cakes anyone? Eat my...Rofl cakes! You`ve been mgg`d Anonymous at 3:59 23/6/2006 Rofl you dont see the use of such a thing?? ROFL!! You small minded fools!! and people say Nintendo was all the fun and gaming gizmo one... Anonymous at 3:40 23/6/2006 i still fail to see use of such device. Probably a few hundred bucks too so... pointless? Anonymous at 3:19 23/6/2006 couldn't post the first time too Anonymous at 1:16 23/6/2006 guess not Anonymous at 1:14 23/6/2006 weee ive been blocked from posting Anonymous at 23:4 22/6/2006 yes, you are the only one who noticed. you are clearly a genius. Anonymous at 22:53 22/6/2006 *I meant being produced by\for sony Anonymous at 22:47 22/6/2006 am I the only one noticing that this thing isn't being by and\or exclusivly for sony? Anonymous at 19:50 22/6/2006 This atm doesn't interest me, I'm still going ps3 because of ff13, RE5, Tekken and possibly silent hill (anyone heard if they're making a new one of next gen?) and I don't see how this can enhance them Only thing that can enchance them is rumble... damnit sony just settle and give me my rumble >.< Anonymous at 18:56 22/6/2006 yeah, this is some cool stuff. All the 360 fanboys can say is it'll cost a ton of money so who cares. Nice try, another point for Sony :) Anonymous at 17:22 22/6/2006 is this going to be like a 200 dollar add on or something? You know me at 13:26 22/6/2006 Sweet finaly a good invention for pc/consoles btw .. FIRST POST :)
