Emulators. More specifically play Mario and Halo

If it weren't for the whole Geohot debalce, the PS3 would be able to do those already, and IIRC there was a PS2 emulator that you could run through the PS3's Linux. 

LOL, I know. I thought about doing it at one time, but I read somewhere Sony is flagging IP addresses so I never used it LOL!

So if you ran the emulator, they could track you down and arrest you? I've never heard of them doing that for emulators, just piracy.

No, not the emulators, the PS3 Security Hack. Either way, I don't think they were actually going after small people like me but it just freaked me out LOL!



Dude...keep your console off the internet and problem solved if you really wanna run your emulators. It's been the rule of thumb forever: you wanna pirate something, just keep your device from signaling that it's been pimped and forced to do unimaginable things. You know, like prostitution generally works.



Sell.

perhaps it can't really do something more but perhaps it gets a new controller (read: no dual-shock-design in a different color).
perhaps it can deliver better graphics than wiiU and even better graphics than nextbox - at least one of it is doubtable :)
perhaps we will never see it as the ps4 is of course the ps3 which already does everything.



Haha... good catch OP. Indeed that was an advertisement fail.



It goes to 11.

Well From all that I have read about it I think they need to ditch the entire Idea. First off they are planing to change From a cell chip to a AMD which  means no PS3 backwards abillity. If you ask me they should wait a couple years untill technolagy  can catch up. Right now all gaming consoles are using Unreal Engine 3 which is a fantastic program, but I read an artical about Tim Sweeny the man responsible for creating this graphix and acceleration program and He plans on relasing the Unreal Engine 4. And this hardware will revoutionize gaming. For now on if a game programmer decices to change or add something to the game he doesnt have to go to the developers and the creators and all that time it takes for now on you can put in anything you want right there and then and even check it right there to see if thats what you want, a big big time saver and the lighting effects and details will be better then any pc graphix card can do. So i just see the ps4 as a  big waste of time and money and just like all the systems when they first come out there are not hardly any games that mach the systems capabillities of the new system that are worth buying it usualluy takes them a good couple years to come out with any. If Sony has any great changes it better be pc gaming worthy  cause if not there screwed
