"PS3 is here Boys & Girls"

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 :(

That pad looks like one of the cheapy PC ones you can get.

But still, nice console.

Im no good with specs, how much worse/better is this compared to the Xbox 360?

Twice as faster, but impossible to judge whether it's *better* or not. 360 has an established Live service, exclusives etc. as does PS3.

It really is going to be all about the games for these launches.

At the moment, Xbox 360's launch lineup is much, much more appealing to me. Hell, if PD0 was the only launch game, I'd still choose Xbox 360 over PS3 :D

Me too. To think I haven't played Perfect Dark for half a decade gets me all riled up, geek style. GR3, PD Zero and the promise of some great Xbox games I've missed is enough to convince me. That, and I'll probably get a nice discount next year when the PS3 comes out.

Ahahahaha...

PS3 looks good though. Depends what RPGs wing its way though.

Er, what?

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.

"Twice as faster" is ridiculously bad grammar.
