XBOX Cheats
PS3 media capabilities explored The PlayStation 3 is just over three weeks from release in Japan, so unsurprisingly units have begun to find their way into the hands of Japanese press, including Impress Game Watch, which has produced a rather nice report on the media capabilities of the console. Starting with the basic stuff, the PS3 is able to rip CDs to its hard drive into a number of formats, very much in the same fashion of the Xbox and Xbox 360 - although now almost a given, it is a first for the PlayStation. The PS3 can also access files from a PSP and playback a range of formats including MP3, AAC and ATRAC3 up to bit-rates of 352Kbps. The PS3 will also check an online database to retrieve album and track info, auto updating your collection with the correct information. Sticking on the subject of audio, the report also reveals set-up options to suit your home theatre or lack of. News for nerds, stuff that matters Tom Leupold, writing for the Inside Bay Area site, explores why videogames have become an American bogeyman. Talking with prof. Dmitri Williams, he discusses the rise, fall, and resurrection of games as a part of mainstream society. From the article: "Today, as games have once again infiltrated the mainstream, a growing number of adults are again enjoying gaming and understand there are games that are appropriate for different age groups.

Most have grown up with games and, like television for the previous generation, games are embedded in their culture. " . PlayStation 3 Info, Launch Releases, and upcoming Cheats The PlayStation 3 is Sony's newest effort to their highly successful line of PlayStation consoles. The third generation of PlayStation will be released in the United States on November 17, 2006, although it appears that initial quantities will be quite limited. Oddly enough, after stating that they were prepared for a word wide launch, Sony switched the European PS3 release date to March of 2007. Perhaps this is due to Microsoft's somewhat botched launch of the Xbox 360, a direct competitor of the upcoming PS3 unit, along with the Nintendo Wii. Sony has stated that the PlayStation 3 console will be backwards compatible with all previously released PS One and PS2 video games. The PS3 will come in two flavors, the biggest difference of the two will be the size of the hard drive. The PS3 Basic will have a 20 gig hard drive and the PS3 Premium will have a 60 gig hard drive.
