PS3 has arrived

[Lee]

Having had Dev Kits for ages, we've finally got a proper retail one.

Here's some poor quality pics. I'll try video later, but will use my phone rather than my TyTN which seems to have a crap camera.

 

[Scutch]

Awesome Any games to play on it yet?

Looks damn shiney!

 

[Lee]

Just Ridge Racer 7.

We can't find a stepdown to use on it. It keeps blowing the fuses for some reason!!

 

[Clart]

thats gonna be a nightmare to keep clean/dust free

 

[tommyboy]

that is awesome! video's would be quality Lee

 

[jay s]

ooooh, looks nice and shiny , should get a step down asap, i once fried an import neo geo cd play it at 240v.....

 

[Williams025]

Lol! Doesnt the PS3 run using something silly like 300 watts?

 

[Lee]

Crap, we need to pop out and get some higher amp fuses for the stepdowns. It's blowing them instantly.

 

[Robbles]

[Nigel]

The case does look very nice! Hope it does deliver and isn't going to be a flop!

Ooops, yeah you can.

I work here: http://www.swordfishstudios.com/ part of: http://www.vivendi.com/

We've still not got it running, might pop out and get a better step down at lunch, but I need petrol as the light is on so I'm not sure I can be bothered.

 

[McBunny]

its funny everyone on av forums insist it will run no problems on uk mains

Read that earlier. Until someone posts proof there's no way we're trying that.

On the console it states 100v 3.8amp.

 

[Dansta]

So if i bought one from hong kong i'd need one of these step down things?

 

[McBunny]

yeah i wouldnt want to be the one that turns it on when flams come shooting out of the back

 

[Tyson-182]
