EDIT - had I known this lot was already in the stupidly named 'Official PS2 E3 Thread', I wouldn't have bothered. Sue me.

And the pad looks awful, but hey:

Enjoy.

I won't post all the specs as that'd be an anal word count boostathon, but some pretty interesting and odd features:

Bluetooth functionality - wireless controllers via Bluetooth sounds certain.

Wi-Fi communication with PSP

3, yes 3 Ethernet ports - dunno why they need 3 :S

2 HDMI outputs, capable of up to 1080p

Backwards compatiblity

Blu-Ray media support, along with every CD/DVD format but DVD-RAM.

Looking swish, suddenly the Xbox 360 doesn't seem so exclusive. Still, it's all about the games and from what I can see, it's just sequels here there and everywhere (not unlike Xbox then) - MGS4, GT5, Getaway 3, Killzone 2, DMC4 etc.

I just wish the perfect recreation of FFVII would have become a reality :(

Indeed you did. :) It's a sign that Sony are reaching out to an older audience; a deluxe sized controller with extended prongs for the new demographic.

:D

Just like the current ones then, so versatile and these new ones look even handier in that department.

*re reads post, did I just say that?*

Crap, so it is. 2x faster is more plausible.

The controller can be used to scratch your balls without taking your hands off the pad. it's all about multiple uses.

They layout of the buttons on the pad is pretty much the same, if it really is THAT bad i'm sure they'll change it before its released.

That pad looks extremely uncomfortable hopefully it'll be more easy to use than it looks.

The console looks great. The pad looks awful. Why they didnt just keep the classic design is beyond me.

That things got more socket than, well, something with loads of sockets.
