Playstation 3

Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB)With all the furor and hype surrounding the impending release of the Playstation3 I thought it would be good to take a look at the role playing/medieval and fantasy games that are going to be available for it.

 

 

 

 

First here are a few pros and cons for the new PS3

Pros:

  • Serious computing power
  • Plays blu-ray movies
  • plays PS1 and PS2 Games
  • Plays Music CD's
  • Has a DVD-R
  • HDTV Capable

Cons:

  • Doesn't come with a game!
  • No vibration controller and this surprises me. I really like the vibe controller on PS2
  • Need to buy a special HDTV cable to connect to you HDTV

The Next generation of Role Playing games look they are going to be really Special!
