	Oh they'll definitely stick to Blu-ray. They will likely put in a faster drive and a more sensative laser to deal with the 100 and 200GB disks as well if the current one can't. But they won't change formats this time. Maybe for the PS5, but not the PS4. ------------------- Education Forum\|Books & Literature Forum

	I would like to hope as much as this may be a bad idea that online connections will be fast enough for full downloable everything in the PS3.

	Probably, yeah. They should also do something cool with the controller. Add a button here and there, make it do some funny shit and maybe change its style. -------------------

	I think 3-4 years is way too early to release the PS4. The PS3 should be released for 8 years minimum in my opinion. If they release it earlier than soon people will be thinking what's the point of buying a PS3 if the PS4 is coming out in 1 year. -------------------

	People will keep buying the PS3 for the same reason they are buying the PS2. Because it will still be cheaper than the new system and it has more games. Even if the PS4 is backward compatible the PS3 will still have the lower price. On top of that Sony is practically compelled to release by 2012 because Microsoft will be releasing their new console around 2011-12. Sony can't afford to let Microsoft have a 3 year lead. Then by the time the PS4 is coming out the Xbox 1080 would be lurking on the horizon. All the while Sony is falling further and further behind. quote pyramidreaper by the time PS5 will come out all games will be downloadable. Possibly. Though there will still be room for pysical media. Some people don't like downloads as the only option. ------------------- Education Forum\|Books & Literature Forum

	I know the PS3 is designed to last 10 years, but I still don't like hearing about the new one just over a year after I bought it.

	quote Krunal I'd rather the PS3 last another 8 years than see a PS4 in 3 years. There's a reason why I've put my money down on the PS3 - it's longevity is but one of them, and if that is short lived then well... quote Motorway Maniac quote Master Tenku So they want me to pay for a new PS3 in a PS4 box just so I can play new games and stuff? I don't know why there is such a rush to replace the PS3 when it isn't that old in the first place. Aye! I still want a good five years on my PS3 b4 they release the PS4. It has to be a rumour surely! quote SvR2008 I think 3-4 years is way too early to release the PS4. The PS3 should be released for 8 years minimum in my opinion.

Cause after all, we know the PS4 will be bloody expensive. _{I copied these post to speak to you all at the same time. Lets gets something clear, the PS3 will be SUPPORTED for 10 years. Not be the only Sony system for 8 more years until PS4 comes out. For christ sakes, you guys should know this by now. History lesson: Playstation 1 came out 1994 Playstation 2 came out 2000 Playstation 3 came out 2006 Do you 3 see the trend here? This means every 6 years a new successor releases on the market. That means the PS3 is nearing its 2nd birthday, and come 3-4 years from now the PS4 which will be released most likely around 2011-12. That will be in fact 6 years from PS3 released. This is how game systems are and have been for years. To say, 3-4 years is far too soon for another console is ridiculous, and unrealistic for them. Also Red 9 have you read the article? The PS4 is going to be based around the Cell processor, and similar stuff as the PS3, just a more upgraded version. In fact this is great news, its going to make the PS4 at release cheaper then the PS3. Im guessing its start up will be around, in USD, $349.99 if that much. I mean its not that much.} ------------------- quote "Wii Music is more than just an incredible clever name, its a whole new way of experiencing music with your Nintendo Wii.

	I would be hoping for something closer to $299 personally. Especially with the hard economic times we're going through. While inflation is possible and likely $300 would be much more approachable. ------------------- Education Forum\|Books & Literature Forum

	quote weskraudaon But we'll see if it's even possible to release it at 300 dollars. Of course it is possible, but it might not economically feasible (re: practical) for them to do so. I doubt they'll release it at that price. Probably at least $50 US on top of that (So $350 at least). But it is possible though. especially if they aren't doing much more than improving the specs of the components (as opposed to using new technology). ------------------- 8700th Post
