PlayStation 3 Unveiled
The PlayStation 3 was unveiled yesterday afternoon in a press conference at Sony Pictures Studio. The event was full of beautiful demonstrations, specifications, and talk of the games of tomorrow. The machine is certainly impressive, with backwards compatibility, support for up to seven Bluetooth controllers, multiple HD signals, and intimate interactions with the PSP. Coverage, screenshots, and specs available from 1up.com, Gamespot, Joystiq, NYT, Voodoo Extreme, Gamespy, BBC, GamesIndustry.biz, Engadget, Anandtech, Kotaku, Gamasutra, and CNN Money. The only downside I see so far? The controller. Update: 05/18 21:35 GMT by Z : Gamespot has up a comprehensive look at the console based on what is known so far.
guess we wont be taking any servers down on this article...
By reading this, you have given me brief control of your mind.
Looks like my sister will love this controller what not with it's vibration function.
I think it is shaped that way, so that if you get really mad because you lost for the 100th time, you can throw the controller away and it will come back to you as a boomerang. You don't have to get up anymore to get te controller.
The top five reasons why Sony might want to rethink the controller design:
1) Players would use it as a boomerang to exact revenge on their opponents outside the realm of the PS3
2) A certain religious group might object to the "crescent" shaped design and might get their panties in a knot.
3) The controller ends up being a tool to massage your pressure points and used less for gaming
4) Female Players take it further and use it to simulate two spots at once. Oh goody!
5) It looks like one of those guns in Battle Field Earth

Why not 6, Blake? Why not 6?
I'm fairly certain the Feral Kid used the PS3 controller in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
At least when you get pissed off at the game and throw the controller at the tv, it'll come back to you now...
Wise men say, "Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."
All that and Gameboys still dominate.
Not since Marie-Antoinette played milkmaid has looking simple and honest been so fake and complicated.
I heard each controller comes with a utility belt, a 300-lb. zipline and gas pellets.
Trolls lurk everywhere. Mod them down.
...would be "my hot, lesbian, identical twin sister".
I wonder when it will be used in a lesbian porn flick as a replacement double dildo. (or vibrator rumble pack pending).
Beating up people in little rooms, if you do it for a good reason you do it for a bad one.
Cool, the PS3 supports 1080p... the obvious irony being that only Bill Gates can afford an HDTV display device that can handle 1080p.
Dahlmann tightly grips the knife, which he may have no idea how to use, and steps out into the plain.
Notice they didn't say current-generation movie-quality images. The Last Starfighter was a movie, after all.
my hands ache from trying to squeeze something so small.
Ahem.
PS3 - Two enemy platoons trying to flank your allied squad while you try and find a way to out flank them.
That's done it, I'm definitely getting an XBox360 - the games sound a lot easier! ;-)
