GeekyGadgets: We have seen quite a few of Ben Hecks amazing laptops before on Geeky Gadgets, the latest one is this cool PS3 Slim Laptop.
The PS3 Slim Laptop features a 17 inch Gateway 1775W screen with a 1280 x 720 resolution, it features a front loading Blu-ray drive, and a funky fan grill on the front which looks like an Iron Man Arc reactor.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
No integrated keyboard (would be so easy to add a slim blutooth keyboard to the design...), and even if there's tons of ventilation, I would worry a lot about accidentaly pressing the PS button on a DualShock and turning the laptop on, while the cover is closed... (Unless Ben has added a safety switch preventing the thing to turn on if the cover is down?). If you don't hear the beep (loud music in the room anybody?), then this is likely a path to disaster. Main ventilation is after all on the top while the cover is open. Yes, I know the Slim run rather cool, but I would not take a chance : )
So Ben, for the first time, I'm not too keen on your design... Look like the easy way out. (Color are a little bit blend too ; )
P.S.: On the other side, this shows that removing other O.S. was a mistake... How cool would it be to bring this thing with you (with an integrated keyboard), turn it on, run Linux for a while (so people think you're simply running an old thick laptop), and then, after a while, start playing PS3 games on it!
That is fücking cool!
I always thought that something between a console and a handheld would be ideal.
Awesome mod! I want one...
This ain't no PS3 laptop this is more like a PS3 Portable 'cause I see no built-in keyboard there like the first ps3 laptop.
Anyway, who would wanna play in a 17 inch screen with a 42 inch (and plus) screen!?
Useless! Money thrown away and precious time spent.
Well think of it as a good prototype to develop from further.
I can certainly see the advantages of having something like that after it had been developed further.
A laptop is handy for travel, work, and various other instances that require mobility. So with some work done and some more thought poured into the idea, I would definately like the option of being able to take a device with me that I can use as a; Laptop, PS3, Blu-ray and DVD player.
It would help if the PS3 had a better internet browser, and like one of the commenters above said, with the now removed Linux support the idea would be alot more viable.
Maybe something that we will see done properly in the future.
