2. I don't see why everyone has all these bad things to say about the looks of it...I think the Xbox 360 is what complete crap looks like... the PS3 is gonna look dam good live I'm sure. As well, it'll perform twice as good as the Xbox 360. So what's the problem?

5. Wow 81 and 76 are tards. The controller is a prototype (not final) and the console is better looking than nintendo's oversized SD card (AKA Revolution). just incase your a nintendo fan boy, which i bet your are

8. hey it kind of looks like the bose lifestyle receivers

9. for those wondering about the dimensions, i compared the power plug in the picture and managed to estimate the height standing up to be something like 45cm and the height lying down to be about 7cm. also, from what i've heard about cell processors, those things can run pretty hot. how loud will this thing be, considering they'll have to air-cool the unit?

10. Some people have made their own measurements.

Well, here's mine, in Nintendo-approved "DVD cases". :)

About 9 DVD cases in a 3x3 array.

Check out the drive slot, it has to be roughly the size of a DVD, right?
The console should be 2-3 DVD cases thick and 3-4 DVD cases tall.

mistery solved.

11. So was this an empty box or what?

Show us the guts - no guts, no glory.

At least Microsoft had a working product there!

I can think of some intriguing uses for the Sony Banana.

12. I must admit seeing the PS3 in this "light" (All that sheen looks way sexy) has changed my opinion on how it looks. The controller still looks weird, but if comfortable then I don't care.

To all you people going on about "Stacking" ARE YOU MAD?? why would you want to bury this under a pile of amps, CD players etc!!?? I'm quite proud to admit I was the one person in the whole world who bought a PS2 Vertical stand and disply my PS2 on its own on a seperate unit (And even at a 45 degree angle so the logo can be read... sad, I know) ;)

My only definate gripe is that I think the L2/R2 butons should be changed to Analogue (Gas/Brake style) Buttons like on Dreamcast and XboX pads, or go one better and copy GC pads (Analogue, with a second digital button underneath that is pressed when threshold is reached).

Something I hope for is a QUIET running system too. Looks like the cooling fan (If any) will be placed in the right side of the machine (The top if placed vertically). PLEASE put a good quality low noise fan in there with thermal control Sony, I don't mind paying an extra $10 just for that.

I'm warming to that PS3 design!!! I wish Sony would make a shiny Silver PSP to match the Sliver PS3........

13. Hmm, I think this is something Sony And MS should have collaborated on to knock nintendo out of the market.

One should have a convex box and one should have a concave box... So those two stack on top of each other and generally go well together. all the people who worry about looks out there would never buy a revolution because it just wouldn't go well with their other two new consoles :P

14. I don't really know what to say about this new design. They've made the PS2 smaller than it was before. I mean, couldn't they make this one smaller too? It saves time so that in the future they don't have to waste any more time to make new design of a newer and smaller looking PS3. Other than that, the controller looks a bit off. Did I say 'a bit'? I meant WAY OFF!

15. All of you motherluverz complaining about the controller are killing me. How many of you complain about the shape of steering wheel in your car? Can't u see this controller has the same feel? DAMN PEOPLE it's just have a freakin steering wheel!

16. "i really really really like the design of the console. would be great if they took the bubble off the top, so that it'd stack better"
It would stack perfectly with the 360.

17. First of all anyone planning on stacking these machines is dreaming, unless you want them to crash all the time. Both of them will need lots of ventilation and room to breathe or they will overheat. They both look good, I'm just pissed the 360 only comes in white, because I want my PS3 in black, and the 360 I think will look goofy with just the black faceplate, but I'll just have to see. But overall I think both designs are VAST improvements over the current gen--the X box is a ugly piece of crap, and the PS2 ain't far behind. Neither machine is all that big either, especially considering the amount of stuff they crammed into them.

As for the people complaining about the font, since when the @&*k did the gaming community become a bunch of typologists? Jesus, you'd think everyone here was an editor for the NY Times. Sony owns the friggin' font, they own Spiderman, so give it up. Duh.

As for the controllers, they look a little weird, but comfy, I'd have to try them to find out. If I don't like them I'll buy one from a third party anyway.

Overall, I am totally psyched for both machines both on the design side and in the amount of power they will deliver. I think Sony outdid themselves on the specs, and M$ has done a great job of courting developers and fine tuning Live, so I think they are both here to stay. Sony should remain on top, but 360 will give them a headache for the full run of this gen, especially since it should come in at a lower price point which should give M$ an edge early on.

But in the long run, Blu-Ray and nearly double the power will give Sony continued dominance. That said, Sony is likely to wind up with a comparatively smaller market share worldwide than they enjoy today because of M$ head start this time around. Nintendo is probably doomed to be a niche player for kids, but that's still a very large market and they'll stick around for a while too, which is good for everyone. Parents love Nintendo, they know their 5 year old kids can't play GTA on it and sticking with a below $200 price point is wise for them.

Anyway, now it looks like I'm going to have to wait for Sony to come out with 1080p LCD SHDTV with cell. I'm thinking they will do a full rollout in 2006 once the cell fabs are up and running. Guess I'm going to have to live with my 27" POS for a while. :(
