PS3 game to gamers VN for 22 million

A few days after appearing in Japan, Sony's 3rd generation PlayStation appeared in Vietnam. A HCMC player has spent three times the initial 8 million price, to become the first Vietnamese to own Sony's new product.

According to the Game Player.NET page, so far, the PS3 in Hanoi market still stops at number 2, one at GameCenter store on Ly Nam De street and one at Hotgame counter at Tran Huy Lieu.

Because the price is not cheap, it is fluctuating strongly, so the owners of the stores still do not dare to enter the equipment to sell. Most just wait for orders from gamers who need to go first and then buy a device.

The PS3 comes with the first Genji game in Vietnam.

" The PS3 price is not stable, we have reduced several times from the initial VND 15,000,000 to only VND 10,800 at this time . Because of such a big difference, there are only a few. The passionate PlayStation enthusiast fan spends money to become the first to own this device in Vietnam, "said Dai, manager of Hotgame.

The device is present at this location is a portable product originating from Hong Kong, was brought to Vietnam after "traveling" through Shenzhen (China). Because the product has to go through such a long distance, Hotgame has promised to customers that they can only receive PS3 after 4 days of ordering. Once the device is available, buyers who want to buy more games will have to wait a similar amount of time, because the PS3 game is very expensive, each disc costs VND 1,100,000 (more expensive than the Sixaxis wireless handle included). - 800,000 VND).

The first feeling of all customers to admire the machine in Hotgame store is: " beautiful but . too big and too heavy ". The device's original box of accessories is up to 7 kg. In terms of size, a PS3 is equivalent to two PS2 units placed side by side.

In addition to the main black product (can mirror the mirror), the box also has a Sixaxis wireless handle, power cable, AV cord, charging pad game, network wire and an accompanying game.

Accessories included with the machine.

What surprised many gamers was that, unlike the Xbox 360, the PS3's external components were easy to replace. Power and network wires can be replaced by cables used in normal computers, AV wires are not different from PS2 products, USB charging cables can be purchased at all electrical outlets. Sony.

Due to the needs of customers, Mr. Sang, owner of Hotgame store, only bought the PS3 with a 20 GB hard drive. When operating, the device has 6GB of storage space for operating system installations, gamers will only have 14 GB to store game content (an average of 2 GB "heavy" game). However, this may not seem to be a defect of the device, because in Vietnam, a number of sophisticated "PlayStation players" claim to have succeeded in replacing the 20 GB data warehouse with their 120 GB drive. laptop.

The camera body only integrates 4 USB ports for 4 different handles, no memory card slot like PSOne and PS2. This will be a nuisance for those who want to reuse the data storage section of the previous game on another device.

The PS3 does not use a pull-out disc tray like most other media devices. Instead, the machine uses a special mechanism, just push it lightly through the slot, immediately the system will "swallow" the disk inside through a scratch-resistant soft door.

As for the control unit, although it has the same external appearance as Dual Shock, Sixaxis is very light (because there is no vibration device). Characteristics of weight will certainly make many gamers take a certain amount of time to get used to by the new controller does not really bring the feeling of "firm hand" right at the initial attempt.

The interface is identical on PSP.

In addition, Sixaxis only supports charging power via a USB cable but cannot replace the battery. Although the manufacturer claims to have a "lifetime" warranty for the component, but by the time the battery is "old", Sixaxis will certainly cause a lot of trouble for the player.

2 units need an analog on the new handle higher than Dual Shock, creating a larger rotation angle when used. Thus, moving characters in the game will be more flexible and accurate. The R2 and L2 keys have been redesigned, instead of just being pushed vertically as on the old controller, their motion is converted into a trigger-shaped slant (similar to the Xbox 360 handle).

Sony corrected this detail to make players more comfortable in "shooter" games, especially airplane drivers using Sixaxis "tilt-axis touch" technology. The scene of gamers using the handle as a steering wheel, performing movements in the air to control the spacecraft with 2 index fingers ready to put on the "trigger" will certainly be seen regularly in the near future. . (Since the Hotgame device only comes with the game Genji: Days of the Blade, while the GameCenter has just entered the machine and there is no game yet, the "tilt" feature of the handle has not been properly verified).

The PS3 received the disc very quickly, the waiting time for reading and holding data was not enough to make the gamers impatient. If the process of "rip" a 164 MB music disc to a PC usually takes about 5 minutes, the PS3 takes less than 1 minute to complete. Currently the system has not played PSOne and PS2 games yet.

2 keys R2 and L2 on the new handle (bottom photo) when the press will push backwards.

When the game content is copied to the hard drive, the PS3 will operate without a game disc. At this time, gamers can freely insert the disc. However, by the time of the screen transfer or watching the cut-scenes movie, the device required a game disc to continue. This is a measure against "pirated games" that Japanese electronics company applies to this new generation device.

The counter of 127 A6 Tran Huy Lieu is not equipped with an HDTV, so the image quality of the game has not shown the superiority to what was seen on the PS2.

Only when the ear is close to the machine can the player hear the sound of the machine running inside. This is a great advantage of the product compared to the "boiling water kettle" Xbox 360.

After half an hour of operation, the PS3 started to radiate heat. The back and the right side (when placing the lying machine) are subjected to the highest exit temperature, though it does not cause burns but is enough for people to pull their hands back if they touch. Luckily, this PlayStation has four thermal relief directions, so it does not cause the same heat as the Microsoft product.
