| @MikeB @Kronos Now fellas it is not like there is a lot of posts all seeking attention. While I think posting about PS3 a waste I can always ignore.
@MikeB Can you say rootkit and DRM. Just say no to SONY. There hardware is not open anyway, and never will be. If you had titled your thread, "How interested in OS4 for the Sony Playstation 3 are you?", it would have been better. I am a little interested in that but not at all in the PS3.

| OK, an effort to bring the discussion back on topic.
Some good news, the PS3 just scored its first major solid hit in Japan! Gundam Musou for the PS3 has sold out in its first week of release topping the Japanese charts with 175,000 copies sold! I consider this good news for high definition gamers as the game has already outsold all PS3 and XBox 360 games previously released.
The PS3 has now sold well beyond double the amount of XBox 360s sold in Japan (despite the competitor's year headstart), with having sold 754,250 hardware units sold as of the 4th of February 2007, this despite the console's initially high price point and major blockbusters like the new Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid yet to be released!
This graphs illustrates how the PS3 is currently faring against the XBox 360 in Japan: VGcharts graph |

Just those threads with PS3 clearly in the title and only from the general technology forum since December, 2006:
[Poll] How many OWN XBox360, PS3, Wii CURRENTLY? 19 posts 617 reads [Poll] Playstation 3 ~ A dream machine! Vindication? 242 posts 4958 reads [Poll] Sony PS3 vs MS XBox 360 1260 posts 18011 reads Sony PS3 vs Microsoft XBox 360 - Volume II 34 posts 993 reads Will the Wii be more succesfull than the ps3 in all markets? 52 posts 815 reads [Poll] Will the PS3 be successful in Europe? 1006 posts 11316 reads PS3 to complement Xbox 360 gaming setup? 29 posts 539 reads Has the Amiga Curse jumped species to the PS3? 22 posts 769 reads Sony may finally backpeddle and add force feedback back to PS3? 2 posts 149 reads [Poll] How interested in the Sony Playstation 3 are you? 24 posts 319 reads European PS3 different than US/JP PS3 - not fully backwards compatible 232 posts 4278 reads Total posts - 2922 Total reads - 42,764
So, regardless of how interesting a particular PS3 thread has been we have an average of 265.6 posts per thread and average 3887.6 reads per thread.
I suppose that indicates something. But...
The big question...
If AmigaInc and Hyperion don't ascend to an agreement they can both live with, then how would any of this talk be of any benefit??

Its been over 26 months since the last licensed OS4 hardware rolled off the assembly line, do you have reason to believe PS3 is any less likely then Samantha, ACK, Panda, Moana, Efika or Apple being the "next" licensed piece for sale? The reality is that its extremely unlikely another piece of hardware will be licensed for OS4. The PS3 would be superior to most of the other applicants, its cheaper then most of the alternatives, and will be available for years with a supported warranty and the ability to buy new ones, (ie its just like Apple was years ago when no less then 3 serious Apple offers were made), but in the 26 months since the last AmigaOne rolled off the line, no new license has been granted and with the current legal battle I doubt it ever will be. -Tig

51 responses (at time of post) on this topic and the majority of AW users show they either don't care or are only interested if OS4 is a factor for PS3. Clearly this is a [poll] that solely gives an indication about AW members' interests in -them-. Isn't the real question "are they interested in US"? "US" meaning what Amiga Inc. and/or Hyperion have to offer.
As to whether it is "less likely" I think that our developers ARE still interested in us. Do we garnish any such interest from Sony? I don't think your 1st question can be answered without knowing that. #6

IMO an option to filter the good old MorpOS warriors like you, #AmigaZeux guys and jorkany would be nice as well. |
Hey, when have I ever supported MorphOS? Just because I don't think OS4 is a good idea doesn't mean I like MorphOS either. If I was pressed to support any Amiga-like NG OS I think it would be AROS.
Anyhow, I think a killfile on these forums would be a good idea - it's worked on usenet for decades. But surely you wouldn't killfile little 'ol me? Now I'm all sad...

That Home thing looks just like everything else Sony has done with PS3 - OTT.
I could be wrong, but I can't see normal people buying into that kind of thing in the same way they have Miis. It looks too complicated and too involved.
The platformer sounds interesting though. |

Yeah, LittleBigPlanet is the first PS3 title, where I thought "Hey, that's kinda neat". It has great art direction (reminds me of a more merry Tim Burton) and games based on physics are often pretty fun. System seller? Not quite. But I'd probably get it if I had the machine. |

| @MikeB $940 is just too much... You can get a pretty damn decent pc for the very same price and it will not have the same artifical restrictions of the ps3. The blueray for me is not worth the extra price and there is simply not many blueray movies out yet either. Blueray and HD-dvd players/drives will come down in price soon enough.. |

Who is they? Sony? I seriously doubt Sony is interested in the amiga community, but of course they dont have to be, we just want to use there hardware to run OS4. That doesnt take anything from Sony. There is nothing Amiga Inc or Hyperion can offer that is of remote interest to Sony. Doesnt matter, buy there hardware, run OS4 on it.

Bill Buck is hugely interested in the platform and hes the CEO of a company that makes real shipping PPC hardware, and that has not helped us get a new hardware platform for OS4, why do you think those expensive so far non shipping alternatives are going to be better?

Why does Sony need to be involved in your opinion? Is UDTech going to need to be involved if we run the Panda board? MAI surely wasnt involved with us while we were buying the "AmigaOnes" (sic Terons) from Eyetech. Its a real simple 4 step process 1) make a CD with OS4 for PS3 on it 2) key it to a USB dongle to prevent piracy 3) sell it for the PS3 (dealers will probably even start carrying it) 4) make money
Why exactly does Sony need to be involved? -Tig _________________ We played the first thing that came to our heads, it just happened to be the best song in the world. |

I'll agree that the EU price is high for the PS3, but honestly which OS4 platform do you think it going to be cheaper? Once you take the board+case+power supply+memory+Video card+etc, I dont think we've seen a sub $1000 OS4 platform yet, and I really dont think most of the new options are going to be cheaper, do you? -Tig

1. I own one. No 'must haves' exist for me on the platform, yet, seriously hoping Sony gets their act in gear on a number of levels, but I'm not 'unhappy' with the purchase, just see a lot of mismanagement and marketing hype vs reality coming from Sony still.
2. The above looks interesting, but not new. Second Life, Eve Online, etc etc..I have to wonder if Sony is able to pull it off as nicely as others have managed to do, or if it will be an ongoing public 'alpha' that peaks quickly, then loses any appeal. Time will tell. Is there a release date?

It's currently in private beta and in April becomes a public beta amongst at least developers. BTW, have you finished Resistance and played the game online yet?
If you are interested in racers Motorstorm is out and includes visuals which shows off what possible with the PS3 already. IMO a very impressive launch title, mostly fun online with a headset though. |

I showed the trailer to my girlfriend and she is excited about what the future has in store for the Playstation 3. Personally I like the idea of watching user content and movies together in for example a virtual living room, being able to share your thoughts (for instance make your "Sim" laugh, etc). The cinema already seems like a development towards my personal vision of what I would like see in the future: |
