I like the new controller, and hate the old ones. Hopefully, this one is a lot stronger. My problem with the old ones is that they feel too small, and feel really flimsy. It's why I like the type-s controller on the x-box.. It feels sturdy, and it's just the right size.

You might not like the Xbox 360 then. They made it smaller and lighter.

With all the bluetooth and USB connectivity, I wonder if you'll be able to use the Xbox 360 controllers on the PS3 and vice versa. Could be pretty nice.

Dont think so. The 360 and Nintendo ones are RF based where the PS3 ones are bluetooth

It still has the same general shape though. The PS2 controller is just shaped weird... But oh well... I can already say, if that is the real PS3, it looks so much sweeter than the Xbox 360.

$465 is definitely steep. I figure with another controller and a game probably run me about $550. Going to start saving mad early, little bit every week. Gonna be great.

The new console itself looks great, but tbh I like the existing controller. I'm not saying they shouldn't develop new ones, but I think it'd be sweet if there were the option to use either/or. I mean, have the new IR/Bluetooth controllers, sure, but also put some jacks on the front so people who have upgraded from PS2 can use their old controllers if they prefer.

Even Nintendo are throwing in backwards compatibility with the Revolution, for Microsoft to completely ignore it would be stupid.

Whats even more stupid is that if they decided not to have backwards compatibility despite the fact that the Xbox 360 can more than handle any Xbox game on it.

If you can play Sunshine over it, you can bet n64 games will be on it

Definitely shaping up to make for a difficult decision. I'm interested to see how the price of each system plays out, as that will largely play a role in my decision, personally. I have all three systems right now, I used to be big on my PS2 but have since favored my XBox. I don't know which one I would want to go with this time around.

May 17, 2005 - According a an article published in the May 17th edition of Japan's Mainichi Shimbun, the PlayStation 3 could be one of the most expensive mass-market videogame consoles ever created. Officials from Sony apparently told the newspaper that PlayStation 3s would sell in Japan for "less than 50,000 yen each." That translates to about $465 US dollars.
Before you all cry, one has to consider that it'll be able to play PS1 and PS2 games, CDs, DVDs, as well as the upcoming Blue-Ray discs. For that kind of versatility, $465 is a pretty decent price. I still think people will still eat the system up like candy.

Well, Nintendo has gone on record in saying that it'll be a pay service (to download NES, SNES, and N64 games), but yeah. You will be able to play NES, SNES, N64, as well as Gamecube games on the Revolution. That makes me believe that there'll be some kind of storage device to hold all these games. O_o

I don't see that price happening. if the 360 and Revolution are out already and selling WELL, then I would think the price point would kill the PS3
