Rumoured PS3 Capabilities


Lately there have been lots of reports about rumoured PS3 capabilities. Or wait. Maybe I should say one report, and lots of references to that report. Either way, there’s lots of buzz about the PS3 making it’s way around the table. Let’s take a look at several of them, shall we? A reader of mine gave me the first link – thanks!

  • iTunes/iPod integration.I covered iPod and iTunes already in a post last week.
  • PS3 will be a DVR. This is an old rumour, but somehow I doubt this one. It means that Sony will have to include both a HDD and TV tuner into the PS3. They have already strongly hinted that the PS3 would not contain an HDD. And adding a tuner would only add to the expense of the system. Plus, it’s hard to get a DVR to work well. I’ve had an SA8300HD for ages and they still haven’t worked out all the kinks.
  • PSP Connection. This is nothing new, but it is cool. Because I just got a PSP.
  • Extended media center capabilities. That’s rather vague, isn’t it? But we knew the PS3 would have something like this, so nothing new here, move along.
  • PS3 and Location Free. It’s also not new that the PS3 will be able to act as a Location Free player for the PSP, but I took note of it again just because I just got a PSP.
  • Misc. Other miscellaneous stuff that I didn’t bother commenting on. Should I have?

    You don’t happen to have a PSP by any chance?

    I just want my PS3 to play games, games & more games.
    I’m not asking for much!

    Because of the directory structure, the PS3 won’t see the music right away. You need to hit TRIANGLE and choose “View All Content” or something like that.
