Complete with banana shaped controller and VERY interesting specs.

Backwards compatibility, BluRay, all shiny silvery thingies (looks like Silver is the new black).
So, whaddya think?

Oh BTW the FFVII Tech demo is EXCELLENT!!!!! I want a remake...NOW!!

The console itself looks VERY nice indeed. A design breakthrough for Sony. It's quite pleasing to see that they're playing to their strengths, ie cutting edge consumer electronics. Same with the 360, where MS made a console that is very aggressive towards the styling of Apple (looks like they're both going for scalps).

I don't believe power is going to be a big issue anymore. People are going to be looking at features, online gaming and variety. Sadly for Sony, the XBOX 360 wins in every department there.

I'm very concerned about the controller. It looks awful. It looks very uncomfortable. It looks very cheap.

It will be very interesting to see both of these consoles, both will be showcasing very interesting technology for consoles.

Just wondering Kas, have you checked out the Tech Demo doing the rounds, it might be just a LITTLE familiar

E3 Insider has some higher res pictures. The console looks pretty good, but man that controller looks like the worst idea ever.

I'm already feeling sorry for Nintendo after seeing some pictures of Killzone. I don't think Nintendo could possibly top this. We'll find out later on though.

Those controllers are really the only bad thing I see about this so far. I'm thinking about buying one already. Come on Nintendo! "Wow!" us like you expected! God! There're so many rumors that the Revolution's only going to be 2.5Ghz, but the graphics card is going to be more powerful than the X-Box 360's. I guess it's all up to the way they've claimed to make it so "revolutionary"

In addition, the Spider-Man font makes Jesus, Buddha and Spongebob cry. I understand changing things up, but why go with something so well-known elsewhere?

Personally I like the controller....I think its pretty cool...the console looks fucking awesome also, not to mention the games, also, if you have time, watch the sony press conference on gamespot, its 1 hour and 50 minutes long, but it shows a hell of a lot of stuff, including comparisons and its worth the watch, I watched it all, and am still amazed, this beats the snot outta the 360 100 times over...

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!!

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!!!

I take it you didn't actually watch any of the videos...

I have noticed that there is no graphical differences at this point between PS3 and X360 titles. That's like saying that at the beginning of the cycles for the current gen systems X-Box had a huge lead in graphics over the Gamecube. SSBM showed that up. At this point, there is little difference in graphics. That'll take a few months to really flesh out.

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.

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?

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.

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.

metal gear solid 4, that video is pretty funny, and not to mention cool.
