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.
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?
that is a really disturbing post. perhaps "girlfriend" or "wife" or "partner" instead of sister would make it a little less...uhh...wrong...
...would be "my hot, lesbian, identical twin sister".
my hands ache from trying to squeeze something so small.
Ahem.
