Around launch when I reviewed the PS3 hardware originally, there were two main things on my wishlist. The first one was DVR functionality and the other was a Wii-mote-like controller option. Both are being taken care of.

To make the multa-media capabilities as good as perfect for me, I would like to see a new PS3 deluxe version with a DVR kit internally integrated and an USB port at the back of the console.

Hell no!!   I asked it to make me a cup of tea earlier, and the damn thing forgot the sugar!!!!  Must do better!

 

Much better than mine, my one just sits there looking at me whenever I ask it to do something, I even have to push its buttons to make it do something.

Can't get the staff nowdays

it doesn't do profits ;-p

you can't watch a movie on it, you'll need a tv for that so no, Sony is doomed



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Maybe PS3 robots of the future will be able to more things people wish for, like sucking:

At least this concept art looks like some sort of vacuum cleaner.

I think its a very good moniker for sales. But its borderline misrepresentation tho. Obviously it is far from doing everything.

No, but it's the closest thing on the market.

  • It doesn't do other OS.
  • Lost its memory card reader/2 usb ports so therefore can't do everything at once.
  • It doesn't do web at all that well.
  • Its louder than any specialised Blu Ray player I know of and the older it gets the louder it gets.
  • You can rip CDs to it but so can iTunes and that syncs with peoples iPods/Phones and thats much more useful.
  • Probably more but I can't be bothered.

Its a jack of all trades but hardly the best at whatever it tries to do nor does it encompass the 'everything moniker'

 



Tease.

I think so. They have been pumping out some crazy for it lately.
