In Spring 2006? I don't believe that for a second. I thought they just sent out the dev kits not too long ago.

I also see that they are definately going to have Blue Ray discs, which will probably shoot the cost up a ton.

Christ they're still using the boomerang controller. You'd think with all the negative feedback they would have done something to it

Nintendo is still using their's design. They have gotten some really bad feedback. Personally I just miss the Cord, and how there is a corded model for both consoles.

That would be the dumbest idea ever.

Then again, Sony is dumb so I would see them doing that.

lawl, RSX @ 550 mhz, can you say G70 core? and even today there are cards out there trashing the 7800GTX512, which the RSX would be, and on top of it, the RSX will only have 256 mb of Vram, not 512

and Nvidia will be launching the refresh G71 in march, ati has already launched its r580 (x1900xtx)

and around mid summer the next gen (G80 and r600) will wipe the floor once more with everything out there in the consoles :D at least the 360 had its (few) days at the top, the ps3 will never have them :P

and spring 2006, yeah right....

ugh, such an ugly machine. and controller. i don't know much about the ps3, but i'm pretty sure i don't want one. oh, i forgot about backwards compatability...thats sweet. i'll wait till there are real developer/user reviews though.

and Orange_ribbon: while people have denounced the revolution controller, it has more positive than negative, and the developers love it. compare it to the wind waker scenario; everyone thought it was a terrible look, but once they played it they thought it was atleast fitting, at best brilliant.

Couldn't agree more.

I've found most negative reactions have mainly been from people who haven't even tried it, Most people who have actually picked one up and tried it: reactions have been good.

hell, im sure noone liked the d pad at first, but look at us now..well, past digital and now analogue, but still. The look, the shape, doesnt matter. What the next gen games need isnt sequel after sequel, or else we'll just have the same old games with newer graphics-wait, isnt that what things are about now? And as far as remakes, handhelds do them best-Mega Man X hunter, Super Mario Bros DS..I'd love a remade Resident evil 2 though.

As far as videogames go, I plan on never buying another sony console. Way to much headaches, needed repairs with my old ps2. Plus, I'm planning on buying a revolution (big suprise, huh?) and I hate that controller for the ps3.

I heard that sony stopped using the dual shock look because some other company was gonna sue them for "copying" said look. Is that true?

I will admit that the ps3 looks damn good in the black and/or silver color. */me salivates

Doesn't look too crappy - but why switch to the boomerang design controller when there is essentially nothing new about it...?

wikipedia wrote:In March 2005, Sony and Microsoft were sued by force-feedback company Immersion for patent infringement for the use of vibration functions in their controllers. While Microsoft settled out of court, purchasing a 10% share in the company, Sony continued to defend the case. Sony lost, and was required to pay considerable royalties to Immersion and suspend the sale of the controllers, including all PlayStation and PlayStation 2 console packages containing them. Sony plans on appealing this decision and will be able to sell its products until the appeal has been processed.
