Console hype = lame.
Every intelligent person will go with the games, rather than the features that won't make a giant difference in the end.
I mean, look at the XBox.  |

You got the Plastic Boomerang. It reaches farther and stuns enemies for longer than your Wooden Boomerang.
Set to C>, Cv or C< on the subscreen.

Yeah, Identify had me hooked, to, as about the only PS3 Game shown thus far. (Not a FPS or RPG Fan myself, it's hard for Sony and Microsoft get my interest above some games). |

Yep, and after just getting done watching the Conference myself, I can confirm what you just said Darth Dcahren.
"It's easy, and like making games for the PC".
Programming for new games will definitely be more flexible now.
Seriously though, the power of the PS3 is beyond me. The best part was the EyeToy segment, where a guy took 2 Cups, and was able to dip them into a bath in the game, filling the cups with water, and able to toss the water out, pour the water from one cup to another, as if it were real. |

another thing I find cool with the ps3 is this
"The industry-wide shift to multicore processing platforms will have a major impact on developers in the coming years since now we're moving into more complicated hardware. A lot of the burden will fall upon the hardware manufacturers themselves to design systems and provide tools that will make it easier for programmers to write games. Sony has announced that the PS3 will use Open GL/ES a specialized API closely related to Open GL, and programmers will be able to access the Cell's SPEs using C or C++ tools instead of having to program on the assembly-level as with the PS2."
so that means from now on developers will probably be using C++ for making the ps3 games, which will probably shorten the amount of time it takes to create the games. |

My friend being an IGN insider, has watched the PS3 conference.
Don't get me wrong, him, myself and all of my friends have been hyped over for the Xbox 360 when they saw it, but just when you thought things couldn't get better, all I'm hearing is that the PS3 Conference blows and annihilates the Xbox 360 out of here. |

3 hours, and im gonna watch E3 live on G4tv...cant wait
also the price has seemed to be revealed, not by sony itself, but by a japanese newspaper
"It now appears that Sony may opt for a compromise price-wise, according to the Mainichi Daily News. An article which ran on the Japanese newspaper's Web site the PlayStation 3 could potentially sell for under $500. "The new machine, which will have a higher performance capacity than personal computers and provide sophisticated movie-quality images, will be priced at less than 50,000 yen each, according to [Sony] officials," said the paper."
seems like a fair price.

I have noticed that there is no graphical differences at this point between PS3 and X360 titles.

At this point, there is little difference in graphics. That'll take a few months to really flesh out.
There was a huge difference, take the way the explosions were, on the PS3 they were full on dynamic, all differentiating, diffused (no graphics card can diffuse light other than the nVidia due to it's new per-pixel shaders) and more, the X360's explosions look as standard as usual (well they still look a lot better than they used to but compared to the lighting effects on the PS3 it really doesn't compare.
Looking at the Unreal Tech Demo, you can see just how dynamic the CELL really is and also the power behind the nVidia GSX. |

Tech Demoes = Zomg.
Tech demo number one = Neat.
Tech demo number two = Infrikin' credible.
Tech demo number three = Rubber ducky over kill.
Tech demo number four = Zomfg.
I guess Square Enix will no longer have to keep swaping between sprited eyes and full 3D eyes mid game play huh? |

I think I'll just buy a dozen controllers so I can use them as overpriced, disposible boomerangs. |

ive watched videos from the ps3 and 360, and there are some noticable differences in the gfx slight, but they are there, also, it seems to run a little smoother, and besides i like the fact that it has so much more potential, what you see on the 360 now is closer to its limit then the ps3 , but since developement is earlier in the ps3 since its still not released til spring 2006, those demos were only the work of a few months, like the unreal people said, that unreal engine 3 demo was only 3 months work..imagine if they had a few more months, it would have looked better I think. |

You're bang on the money, the conference (I watched Sony then Microsoft then Nintendo in that order) and I have to admit that, after getting all of the specs, details and exactly what's going on underneath the PS3, the X360 games looked WELL short of graphical and technilogical prowess, in fact it made the X360 look incredibly weak! Even DOA4, NFS and Gears of War paled in comparison to the PS3 titles (I'd just like to finally say that WARHAWK IS BACK!!!), fanbloodymesmerising...
I'm sold! That's one console to import with about a dozen games!!! |

Where can I see the controller, I havnt been able to find it anywhere.
The system itself looks awesome, i wanna shrink down and sleep inside it. 
The tech demo for FF7 was nothing short of amazing, that alone made me want a PS3 more than I already did...which was already ALOT.
edit--just saw the controller....and all i can say is....WTF?!?!?! That thing had better be extremlt comfortable!! |
