wow, 20 gig - $499, 60gig - $599. High end of what the analysts predicted, and damn fuck is it expensive.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thats where all the modders come in.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The only chance of Sony saving its ass is by releasing the PS3 with quality launch titles. Even then a 499 price tag is going to be a hard sell. But it'll sell nonetheless.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The games looked fine, its just the price tag has been burned into my eyes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow, that hit it right on the nail.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Pursuant to the introduction of this new six-axis sensing system, the vibration
feature that is currently available on DUALSHOCK® and DUALSHOCK®2 controllers for PlayStation and PlayStation®2, will be removed from the new PS3 controller as vibration itself interferes with information detected by the sensor.

Apparently this is in addition to the lack of a HDMI output and various memory card and SD card support, and internal internet support. Certainly mirrors Microsoft's 360 launch where if you got the core version of the console you basically got a crippled version of the console. Seems like if you want a real PS3 you gotta fork over that $599.

As for the Wii rip, whatever, whats done is done (shame they took out the rumble though, maybe its because they thought Nintendo was going to do it) and its not like the technology/idea is totally ruined because of it.

FELIPE NO

According to Gspot FF13's trailer was actually rendered in-game. To whoever it was that said the trailer wasn't.

But yes, can't wait till tomorrow when Microsoft and Nintendo have their go at it. And then two GFF forums will explode.

As for the controller issue, get over it, Sony might've gotten the idea form Nintendo but this isn't the end of the world. Its not the first time competitors took some ideas from their rivals.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Considering all the commotion simply saying "Wiimote" caused I think its best if we just left the controller's name alone.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
