Playstation 3 Unveiled!

[Allen]

I'm sorry but how can people say the Xbox 360 is ugly

Easy. You open your mouth and the words come out.

Personally, I don't think the Xbox is "ugly" but the PS3 has far more style. You'll still get fanboys for each one though, and those who spend a fortune getting both when so many games are made for both anyway... Why? I wouldn't waste that much money. But, then again, I'd rather play games in my PC.

Looks good... Although the controller looks odd...

Apparently theres going to be a USB converter for older controllers.. Which would be good if the new ones aren't as good as they should be.

Some of us are single (on purpose) and thus have money to burn so we can have multiple consoles just so that we can play the unique titles on each one.

PS3 Tekken
X-Box360 Halo 3
New Nint. ? (But more monkeyball madness would be good)

Now I could get a PC with broadband as well, but then I'd have absolutely NO life and I need some time for Sleep, Food and the Gym

Wow looks good and thanks for posting.. Is very tempting, but anyone know if Sony are doing anything similar to XBox Live.. Which will come standard on Xbox360.. Which seems awesome..

And that would really make the PS3 if it did have some kind of service [free] like the standard Xbox Live..

..As said the console looks pretty swish, but what were they thinking with the controller!?..

Backwards compatilbitly doesn't seem to bother me much. After getting my PS2 i played none of my PSX games. Graphics however do, haven't seen any xobx 360 ones yet, but the F1 footage looks amazing.

not keen on the shape of those controllers, why mess with perfection?

would be nice if they improved the analogue sticks tho.

[Swafe]

3.2Ghz Ram ? Thats crazy

Shame about the boomerang pads tho, look a bit odd

[Stoo]

For all those bashing the new pads, how about we actually get some first hand reports reports before making too harsh a judgement

oh and any "teh xbox sux0r" or "teh ps3 is Gayz0r" useless fanboy drivel gets deleted.. capish?

[BenW]

Havent read through the whole thread but on engadget they say that the PS3 will read blu-ray disks ONLY

[Swafe]

True, duno what it feels like Stoo, but either way, I think its a whole lot more ugly than the original, I was more than expecting a Dual shock 3

I'll agree that it looks unusual, but I wouldn't say that it's ugly in the slightest

Initial gut feeling says the PS3 is more powerful, although that will have to wait a while to be confirmed.

What the chuffing hell the you think usb ports are for??
