Playstation 3 begins manufacturing?

Some positive news for Sony for once (if the reports prove true). Next Generation reports that a factory in China has begun production of the Playstation 3 with a goal of delivering as many as 200,000 units a month (with more manufacturers coming online in August.) Timing feels right – they need to start now if they’re to have a hope of having suffficient units to launch this November.  Still, if you want one for Christmas be sure to put in a pre-order as soon as they’re available. There’s no doubt that every unit Sony can produce this year will be sold.

    I can see the dollar signs in the ebay traders eyes already :)

    4 months left for Sony to pull it all together.  Hope that their first PS3’s don’t go through the same bugs as the 360… I’d hate for everyone to get a "3 red rings of death" type of thing.  Oh well, by April it should all be cleared up, when I get mine.

    Ozy, I appreciate your cander(sp) in admitting that you’ll be purchasing a PS3 this fall.  It’s wise to pay attention to your competition.  I have to admit though, I don’t have that same fuzzy feeling for the PS3 launch, like I did this time last year for the 360 launch.  

    I was lucky enough to snatch a Premium on Nov 22nd, and even though I’m on my 2nd 360 and 3rd mic, (damn launch window defects, but you got me a shiny new 360 within a week!), I just have to say I’ve been extremely please with your line-up!  It is freaking awesome!  I can’t think of one exclusive game I would buy the PS3 for.  With the 360 getting the GTA IV the same day as the PS3, with possibly more episodic content to boot, there’s not much else I would buy a PS3 for in the next year or 2.  

    Now I realize, I’m going to be called a "fanboy" by some people, but keep in mind;  I’m 32 years old and I’ve been gaming for a LONG TIME!  Let’s just say, I remember playing Pong on the 2600 with my best friend who was also my neighbor back in the day!  So excuse me for being excited about how long video games have come and the lineup for the 360 for the next year.  Splinter Cell, Saint’s Row, Crackdown, Gears of War, Mass Effect, BioShock, Test Drive, NFS Carbon, Forza 2, Halo 3, the list goes on, are all games I am looking forward to!  

    BTW, my Gamer Score is 10,500+ so I got you and Major Nelson’s scores beat combined!  Come on MS guys, this is embarrasing!

    "There’s no doubt that every unit Sony can produce this year will be sold."

    Well, probably. I remember when the first batch of the PS2’s here in Austria was sold… the consoles were ~480€ and sold out in 4 minutes (in our shop, one of the biggest gamestores in Austria).

    Then again, there only were about… 20?

    Personally I am really curious about the PS3’s media, Blu-Ray and how durible it will be. What I am getting at is that the discs take very little to make them no longer readable by the drive. Couple finger prints, and a scratch would be catastrophic.

    I mention all this just because when the media comes out, Sony will not use the special protective surface, JVC & TDK will only do that since they developed it. So far there is no signs of the protective surface on the existing Blu-Ray discs, especially when you watch DL.TV episode 73 I believe.

    The Link.. http://gearlog.com/blogs/digitallifetv/archive/2006/06/28/14620.aspx

    And all this will boildown to unhappy customers and there will most likely be returns. Personally this whole Blu-Ray fiasco has turned me off completely to owning any Sony created media.

    But the real question begs to be asked.. So how fast is the PS3 is it 4.0, 3.5, 3.2 or 2.8 Ghz that is being produced? And with all the sour news about the PS3 platform, how stable will it really be? Either way major game magazines should get their copies of the system within a couple of months and it will be interesting to see their spin on it.

    "They need to start now"?

    Really? Microsoft didn’t start manufacturing 360s until September I think. This is positively early for Sony to be starting.

    What’s most interesting is that they seem to be employing the services of external assemblers from the start with PS3. This is the first time they’ve done that for a system. Sony confirmed in a report on this news that assembly was to begin in China and Japan in the summer, so this also suggests that Sony themselves are currently assembling too. Perhaps their stated shipping goals weren’t just pie-in-the-sky throwaway comments – not that they’ll necessarily hit their targets, but at least they seem to be making a serious effort to get there.

    OZY

    Why don’t you start a blog about the failure rate of the XBOX360.  Please oh please.  I’m waiting on my 4th system.  I have filed a complaint with the BBB.  

  8. bean / Jul 20 2006

    blacjac – Ouch.  I had one broken system, and now I have one that runs, but only sort of. . .   You see, it will only play HD with a brand new HD cable and then it will break that cable (for even other people’s 360’s) after about an hour of play on HD settings.

    I’ve gone through one system and 4 HD cables.  I really should call for support, but I’m scared that the problem will be too subtle for them to fix and I’ll ship off the system just to get it returned to me with them saying I’m wrong or something equally frustrating.
