I hate the controller. Same amount of buttons, so why make
it look like an alien dildo-boomerang?

Regarding release date (from same site):
"Sony has announced the PayStation 3 in a big damn way.
The latest news is that the system will ship in 2006, with
no chance of wacky 2005 surprises."

Points: 6113 Status: Lurker



Yes it certainly looks shit. Why did sony fuck it up so
badly when their designs are usually fantastic. I mean
Microsoft, maker of the ugliest console ever, the xbox, has
made a new system that looks 100 times better than this.

Might I direct your attention to the above controller
screenshit. Look how close the shoulder buttons are. My
fingers are going to KILL after using that.

Great, more internet connections and usb ports that will
come in handy for jack shit. Just like the PS2.

Will it even play ps1&2 games?

Another big factor is that Microsoft has had plenty of time
to hone an excellent online gaming service (xbox live) which
can be easily transferred over to their new system. Sony is
going to be starting from square one. They really missed out
in the online game and unless they do something major, will
probably never catch up.

so first I saw the PS3 pic, and I didn't think console
design could get worse, and then I saw the controller pic.

Good Lord, did they get an office manager to do the styling?
That is soooo bad. I'm by no means an aesthete, but I would
be reluctant to have something that ugly in my living room.

The controller is horrific, but it's subject to change.
Please God change. I just wanted the usual Dual Shock with a
bit firmer sticks. There will probably be a third party
controller like that anyway, I'll have to get that.

The specs are unreal, though.

those pads are wireless btw and the console is available in
black/white too, which i must say, do look a bit lusher.

The font and the controller ruin it for me.

I prefer the PS2's design.

Relax, people! Remember the original Xbox controller, ''The
Duke''. There's going to be plenty of controller options out
there, don't fret, nobody's making you use this one. And
maybe Sony will listen to the backlash this doublelesbodildo
is getting and change the design, they have all the time in
the world.

Killzone is looking splendid, the first one was my favorite
FPS of last gen-

To hell with that fucking controller. The original

keep that design.

I'm disappointed by the design (the controller in
particular), but I hope there will be alternatives as you
say...

?!????!?! Multi-way programmable parallel floating point
shader
pipelines
?!?!????!?!?
