casing, I could already tell that I held in my trembling hands not only the most powerful and awe-inspiring game machine ever made, but the most incredibly important and cosmically significant invention of all time. It was a feeling I hadn't experienced since that Christmas when I got my first Atari 2600. Okay, so that time I was mistaken, but this time I'm sure that someday our grandchildren will ask "Grandpa, what was life like in the dark ages before Playstation 3 brought peace and enlightenment to our fragile Earth?" Mark my words.
To the naked eye, the Playstation 3 looks as one might expect a high-precision, THX-dwarfing, polygon-churning, nitro-burning funny processor would. It's kind of, you know, metallic and shiny, with blinking lights all over it, and a lot of really cool and unique looking ports on the back.
It takes your breath away. It makes your heart feel like it's going to fold inside itself with awe. Just when you think your mind will explode from the sheer incomprehensibility of it all, you notice the big glittery "3" painted in the middle of the CD door, and you are reminded that this isn't some kind of robotic monster sent from the next millennium to destroy us, but the newest love child of our caring and sharing Playstation family.
Ok here's some pics of the new beast:

sorry i missed out a bit when i was pasting it here, heres the text bit again:
