The latest edition of Game Informer magazine finally hit the stands. It contains quiet a lot of juicy new information. They have an exclusive first look at an upcoming game called "Prototype" which is due out on the PS3/360 next year. Details will be published soon.
According Game Informer magazine, a $399 40gig PS3 system is on the way, but it will have no backwards compatibility. They actually expected to hear the announcement at E3 on it. So they may have just heard different rumblings altogether.

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...
Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."
Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.
Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?
Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.
Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.
If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.
“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“
Another “creative decision” right? 🤦♂️
Come celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Diablo IV and the 2-year anniversary of Diablo Immortal! There are heaps of rewards to mark these celebrations with a bounty of devilish goods across both games.
1 more month then I can celebrate 1 year since i stopped playing and uninstalled the game.
Tales of the Shire has many hurdles to jump to live up to the J.R.R. Tolkien masterpiece, and magical elements might be its most pertinent one.
uh oh.. what is that, sku #4? in direct competition with the premium, i be the 360 will get a price drop before this model drops, well at least it better
There is already the rumor that the 360 will drop $100 across all SKU's
I would for sure buy a PS3 for $399. No question about it I would run out and get it the day it was announced.
not going to happen...
Then the 2 remaining sku's would probably be 40GB for $399 and 80GB for $499 which in my opinion would be a great deal. People wanting blu-ray more then video games would opt to purchase the 40GB model because they won't care for backwards compatibility and people opting for video games will go for the 80GB model.
One of the things that makes sense about this is Sony has the PS3 and the new BDP-S300 Blu-ray Player priced the same at $499 so in a sense they are competing with themselves but to have the PS3 as the lowest priced blu-ray player on the market gives them the chance to increase the PS3 install base at the same time getting more Blu-ray hardware out into the market.
Guess we'll soon see if its true or not.
Edit: @rusgreim. I see your logic but i think that Sony wants to get the hardware out there first and then try to bring over the blu-ray only buyers to the video game side which if they market it correctly shouldn't be that hard of a task. For example Stranglehold comes with the movie and the game. They may do that with say Spiderman 3. Or start including PS3 game demos on some blu-ray movies and so forth.
