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."

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.

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-
