Taiwanese Manufacturing Giant Asustek Computer, one of the world’s largest producers of computer components, has reportedly begun shipping Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles to Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

The fact that the consoles are being manufactured and shipped indicates that the hardware specifications have been finalized and the launch will take place on schedule in mid-November.

The Chinese-language Apple Daily and Commercial Times newspaper reported late on Tuesday that Asustek Computer started shipments of PlayStation 3 (PS3) game consoles in small volume in the beginning of July, according to DigiTimes web-site.

According to a report, about 200 thousand component sets were shipped to Asus in June, which means that the company is set to manufacture 200 thousand game consoles. It is also said that in July the Taiwanese manufacturer will receive higher amount of component sets for the PS3, while in September and October the company will get "more than one million [component] sets.

Sony promised to have 2 million PlayStation 3 consoles available during the launch window (Mid November ‘06) and ship 4 million PS3s worldwide by the end of 2006. By March 2007 the company plans to supply 6 million game consoles to the market.

Foxconn Electronics, the largest manufacturer of connectors for use in PCs in Taiwan, and a leading manufacturer of connectors and cable assemblies in the world, is also projected to build the next-generation game consoles for Sony. However, the news-paper did not unveil any shipment schedules for the company, claiming that the company will start assembly operations "when demand rises", perhaps indicating the company as a stand-by manufacturer of Sony’s.

The two versions of the PlayStation 3 game consoles – for $499 and $599 – will be launched on 11th of November in Japan and on the 17th of November in Australia, Europe, U.S. and other regions.

Just cant wait(even bought a 32 inch widescreen tv for it, beats the old 13 inch portable i had :lol: )

I'll most likely be getting the $499 one, maybe after a price drop. What's the difference between the two?

lightt · 07-21-2006, 07:37 AM

i would forget about it, here in SA it will cost around R5.000,00 to R6.000,00. . . . .

Whoaaa...Lightt, you live in San Andreas?

LOL...JK I know it's South Africa.

Well. It's gonna be like everything else that's expensive that I bought...at first it seems way out of reach, but then all of your friends start getting them one by one, then before you know it, you're have one yourself.

Definately waiting for a price drop

nope....i guess i'll wait and buy the 65n cell's ps3

anyone?

Just think of it. When someone makes a hack to "unlock" the PS3 (like in the XBOX) it'll be like a $600 linux box with 9 CPUs! :lol: That would be awesome. Just find a way to increase ram (how much ram does the PS3 have anyway?)

How cool would it be to be in your dorm or house with just a PS3 working as a gaming system AND a computer. Get your butt handed to you in Dead or Alive and then go surf the internet or start your term paper which is due tomorrow?
