What we want in the PS3

[ottoman]

Thought it might be fun to get everyones ideas as to what the PS3 should have and be able to do. What can I say (shrug) its a boring day at work!

To get the ball rolling:

It should have built in harddrive and ethernet adapter.

All ps3 games should be harddrive installable.

The browser screen should include the harddrive with some sort of front end similar to HDLoader.

PS3 memory cards shouldn't be needed as all save files could go on the harddrive

Should be backwards compatible with ps1 and ps2 games ( could have a "virtual ps1/ps2 memory card" on the harddrive)

Should be able to play dvd movies/VCD/SVCD/DivX/Xvid/MP3/JPG discs.

Any more suggestions?

Now we is talkin!!!

Maybe taking technology from the PSX unit to enable the unit to record tv progs onto the harddrive and pause live tv etc. I know that sony are plannin to make the ps3 a bit more multimedia but there ideas sound way ott. At the end of the day its a games machine but it doesn't hurt to have a few extras thrown in !

I have 2 of the Logitech 2.4 GHz cordless PS2 controllers. They work flawless. Not a single problem. There more money then the other junk ones out there but are worth the extra.

I wouldnt do with out them..

The only thing I hate about cordless controllers is having to buy batteries. Now if those controllers had a rechargeable port on the ps3 then that would be nice.

HD-DVD capable (not just blu-ray) and the ability to play PSP games/UMD disks.

Another thought. All the firmware should be flash upgradable. That way if we get another ps2 v.9 sudden death syndrome problem it could be cured by as simple flash update rather than having to lift a chip leg and solder on an extra wire!

Also handy for dvd player firmware updates etc.....

like the v9/10 ps2s it should have a remote with on/off switch, not a nessicity but possible neons already installed (with your choise of colour), and possible wireless keyboard and headset for the on-line gamers??

This would take the fun out of modifying your own console. I mean it would be like a custom car builder buying one of those so called "Factory Hot Rods" like the Prowler. I would look at it like, "Big deal I can change the little blinking light that came from the factory to a new color with the push of a button…wooo hooo!!." Unless I did it myself it would just be another useless feature that no one really gave a crap about. Just my 2 cents.

Although the keyboard and head set is a very good idea.
