Or at least, that's what I'm getting out of the whole thing. We already knew the PS3 was going to be expensive to produce. The only question was how much Sony would charge for the machine.

"However, when released, both [PlayStation and PlayStation 2] had sales that were unthinkable for previous game machines. This is because both offered experiences that could not be had on previous machines." [SCEI president Ken Kutaragi said.] "Things like next-generation graphics and various services via the network. And, as with the PS and PS2, we believe people who like games will, without question, purchase it."

Right... no one's ever seen next generation graphics before, or even various services via the network.

Seriously, I never had any intention of buying any of the next-gen consoles when they were released (that includes the Wii; by the time it comes out, I may finally get around to getting a DS :)), but the more I hear about the PS3, the more I realize I'm definitely not going to be buying any of the first-generation PS3s. Two versions, one an un-upgradable "cheap" version, weird controllers without force feedback, and the $500/$600 price tag all are making me that much more willing to wait for a PS3.

I'm more than willing to wait until the PSThwii gets released, with a single version that supports everything, and hopefully with wireless controllers that support force feedback. Oops, sorry, that's supposed to be "PSthree" in the style of the "PStwo" and "PSone" rereleases.

And to think, if anything, I'm a Sony fanboy...

Better yet, don't buy SHIT THAT BREAKS in the first place!

You might want to go look at the pictures of the console at the official XBox 360 website. There are two slots on the front of the console labled "Memory Unit A" and "Memory Unit B". I think it's safe to assume that that these two slots will be used for memory sticks.

It seems like they have Quite the welcome party, I would buy it alone just to beable to play Perfect Dark Zero and Morrowind 3, Oh and quake four when that comes out, and possibly halo 3, and project gotham racing 3, and eventually forza motorsport 2, and eventually the next gta whenever that is, and it just goes on and on and on, they have one hell of a group of companies, if you nose around http://www.xbox360.com/ You will find that they have like 30+ huge companies working with them to make kickass games!

You are right, but the picture drawn by a kid using MS-Paint made it all worth waiting for the macromedia flash to load.
