Kutaragi On Cell's Future, Hints at External PS3 Power Supply

Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi recently discussed how the Cell processor could be scaled down for the future, keeping costs down and how the Cell would be kept cool. The PS3 may end up using an external power brick much like the 360.

[Lucidmantra]

Wow you mean after downing the 360's power brick... the PS3 might have a brick of doom also just like the much loathed 360? Where does the hypocrasy end at SOny. I am personally tired of them saying eww look at what Microsoft did ... its crappy then they come back 6 months later and use the same damn stuff. That is why i don't like SOny's business practises.

And do i need to say anything about the fact they are 5 months away from launch and they have not a clue where the power supply is in the system.

[Jay da 2KBalla]

SONY-the power supply for a console should be internal yet we are going to make it external for the ps3.

SONY- It doesnt make sense to do a worldwide launch yet we are going to do it.

SONY- Two skus confuses the consumer and quite frankly is stupid yet we are going to do it.

All sony does is as you said knock microsoft and then do the same thing. Sony is just a bunch of hypocrites.

"Kutaragi Hints at External PS3 Power Supply"
Lol, sony corporation is really made up of "Bull" and if anyone disagrees, then you really are a fanGirl...
But than again nothing as been officially announce(yet).

[Anerythristic26]

I've noticed that almost all of these PS3 "rumors" are actually being proven as fact. I think it is very childish to knock Microsoft then do the SAME EXACT THING. What garbage.

[OutLaw]

Sony said the world would be a cold place indeed with out the Playstation. I'm freezing. Hey Sony I see you guys are making the sequel to Ghost Busters with your brick.

[joemutt]

You get your new PS3 home and, darn it, gorgot to buy a power cable. I swear if it doesnt come with a power supply, then they have lost their minds.

[kingboy]

i`m tired of u 360 guys all day talking bull on forums ..danm u got a console? yes to all u above..everyday is ps3 this ps3 that..why not just leave ur pc and go start an anti rally otside ur house against ps3.u don`t even show support on ur own news hear..but always on the ps3 section looking for entertainment

[pRo loGic II]

360 fans (always on the ps3 section looking for entertainment)Agreed!!!. Hmmm! news about downloads for games, or news about the leader of the game industry having problems. Don't be such a little girl about it. People on these site's are news buffs and being here has more to do with the big story than PS3.

[FamoAmo]

The ps3 is huge. 2x the sixe of the original xbox. King I think people are pointing out all the negative things said about the 360 and its power supply Now Sony will have 1 with the already gigantic ps3!!

[shoota33]

ps3 may have a power brick. you xbox 1.5 fanboys try to turn rumers into facts

[OutLaw]

I want to say Good Morning and hope you play nice today.

[Lucidmantra]

Gameday why dont you finish first and just STFU already. You are an idiot, all your offsping will continue the trend and you bring NOTHING to this site other than your idiotic comments. I would rather be playing my xbox 1.5 than to be sitting here watching Sony flip flop more than a pancake and change there story about a console that should be DONE and being made. I remember last year at this time MS was releasing pics of the consoles in testing and videos of production lines. Hell they can't even decide if they have and internal power supply or a controller that is a banana or a cheap ripout of the Xbox 1.5 control with its Guide button and the motion sensors of the Wii controller. So if my console is a xbox 1.5 is yours a wii.5/xbox1.5 (Ps2.5) ?? Since they seems to be incorporating alot of the things from those into their system.???

[shoota33]

if you rather play your xbox 1.5 then why dont you do so,stop hangigng aroung in the ps3 news section if you dont want one. dont get mad at me cause microsoft gave you crap

[FamoAmo]

I believe with Sony downgrading the specs the ps3 is now being called the ps2.5!! Anyway Gametime I like how you call the 360 a 1.5 when the 360 is just as powerful and its looking like its more powerful now. The 360 has a graphics edge on Sony and I hate to say it but developing for the crap 2.5 is a beatch and Expect ports from the xbox 1.5 you call it b/c all multi platform games will be ported from the 360!!

[shoota33]

Agian you idiot xbox 1.5 try to make rumer be facts.it was a rumer ps3 is being downgraded never was officail.people of limided intelligence like yourself think xbox 1.5 is more powerful than ps3.you xbox 1.5 fanboys just cant hadle it can you xbox was more powerful than ps2 but know it the other way around and you dont want to accept it.also last time i checked ps3 current games are on par/better than xbox 1.5 2 gen games.so it will be xbox 1.5 getting the ports from ps3 brainless idiot

[OutLaw]

You should have seperated the words at the end. IT reads that the 1.5 is getting the ports from PS3 brainless idiot. Which sounds like Sony is dumb

[shotty]

Good morning gametime

[BOSS]

This is a very sad time to be a sony fan. Weeping Weeping Weeping Crying.

[shoota33]

why is that

[Lucidmantra]

Because people of limited intelligence like yourself, PS3lord, sonyISgod and SSJ aare still clinging to the railing on a ship that appears to alot of people here to be sinking fast. Or at least taking on alot of water. and your too dumb to see what SOny is doing. You scream its the only true next-gen console but what i see is SOny who was the leader last gen is sitting back and following what WIi and 360 do and using a new processor system and saying BluRay makes us truely NEXT-GEn which means if I run out and upgrade my PC by buying a bigger hard drive that makes my PC next-gen. It is a battle over storage space on a optical medium.

[shoota33]

people of limited intelligence like yourself go out and buy an xbox 1.5 with nothing new then want to complian about ps3 features because they are better and you dont want to accept it.

[OutLaw]

I love my 360. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't buy a PS3. It just mean as for now Sony is a real sh!t talker and if they don't change their ways they will fail. You know how I know. It's because I'm a gamer and it is not up to the stock people, Sony or any game makers. It's up to the individual who buys into them and as of now I'm not convince Sony could pull it off. But that all could change. It's only my opinion.

[schnodder]

this kutamari guy is creepy

[Marriot VP]

of course they'll be an external power supply. That's a given because of the heat and space issues they're having.

[FamoAmo]

All that crap about a few 360's overheating and now ps3 overheats just plugging it into a wall. The damn thing is gonna be the size of a 27" tube tv by the time its done.

[shoota33]

yeah the ps3 is the same size as your power brick

[THELANDSOFSAND]

and yet the power brick manages not to be a crappy, delayed, over priced product.

imagine that.

[pRo loGic II]

To 8.3] the stories on the home page of this site.

[sonyISgod]

IS when they slim down the PS3. YOu bunch of fool whom are uneducated sound so stupid. Don't comment when you dont' understand something when you red it. What all of you don't know is that The PS3 is build like Zalman TNT A500 PC case. This case keep the system cooler than any PC case in the world and it won the best PC case of the year. It dosn't use any fans and it keep the sytem cool by using Heatpipes technology. The PS3 is build the Same way and are using Zalman technology. So fo all of you fool whom don't know noting, need to shut yourself up because all of you look like an idiot. Stop acting stupid already.

[shotty]

How do you know this, you people turn rumors to facts.

[sonyISgod]

You 360 turn fairy tale into reality in your own lil world. YOu believed whatever M$ thruw at you. WHen M$ thruw a case of cold, you jump up and catch it with your money bag. WHen M$ thruw you a promise you keep your hope up for it to come true. When M$ said that they will bring true next gen gaming, but yet you are just playing games that look like last gen. So tell me how do you felt about playing last gen games on a newer system.

[OutLaw]

I FEEL GREAT!!! Thanks For Asking.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Never happier

[THELANDSOFSAND]

way more fun than playing on something that doesn't exist!

[rocky5000100]

If everyone took a minute to think about it, computers use large rectangular power supplies. Since systems are as powerful as computers, i am not surprised that every system will need one. I have a 360 and the power brick does not inconvienence me in any way

[kingboy]

don`t waste ur time with them.i really don`t see why they argue with sony fans..they got their console in advance which plays games and has next gen graphics,but yet they still come on ps3 section talking bull all day.Really if i had a ps3 today u`ll never find my @ss on an xbox site.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

maybe just yo mamma's @ss

[PS360PCROCKS]

"The power supply could almost be sold separately." Lol I'd like to see this, why did he make this remark?

[TheMART]

The PS3 has really become to the level of the PS1 again. So we shouldn't say PS2.5 anymore

Make it:

PSZero

[PS360PCROCKS]

geesh lol, your a hater, lol

[THELANDSOFSAND]

Haterist!

lol

how about "PS -1, back to the drawing board!"

[Patrick]

Yet another comment taken out of context. This is getting all to common around here. He said "We're spending a lot on heat and electromagnetic interference [management]. The power supply could almost be sold separately."

KEY WORD here is ALMOST. He was basically saying, "Were spending so much (time and money) on the power supply it could almost be sold separately."
For you REAL PS fans this should come easy to understand. For you 360 fans, you may have to wait a few minutes and read it again, and then when your really confused just get a PS3 fan to explain it to you. Lets learn how to read and stop trying to twist things to suit yourselves.

It wont be external. Just watch and see. Man this is getting all to old.

[Grown Folks Talk]

what will you say then? and who cares? whether it's inside or out, it won't make the games any better. so who gives a sh*t? just another pointless thing to bicker about like the cpu change.

[PS360PCROCKS]

lol I just thought it was a funny comment, I am not hating on the ps3, just that man's odd comments...I'm not twisting things, lol who cares about a power supply, will it make the system better or worse? no...so calm down, if it is external I wont be on your side making fun of you, I have a huge brick, and I just hide it

[THELANDSOFSAND]

all signs point to external:

"We're spending a lot on heat and electromagnetic interference [management]. The power supply could almost be sold separately."

because IT DOESN'T WORK INTERNALLY! IT'S TOO MUCH HEAT!
duh.

[Patrick]

I guess your right, I just get so mad that people twist things when they really just dont know. It wont matter in the end but I just let people get to me. You know, I actually liked the xbox and will buy a 360 once I feel confident they have worked the bugs out. PS is my first choice but xbox is cool too. I just dont care for MS themselves and I guess I hold it against Xbox. Ahh well.
