sony sure is comin up with some strange items lately..

[Anaz]

It's a boomerang controller. Makes it easier to hit TKers and get your controller back.

[Deepblue]

Why oh why did Sony abandon a trusted design for THAT!

[Deepblue]

And does anyone else think the console looks like a Bose?

Looks like some DVD player hybrid, and nothing like a game console. I think that everybody is running out of ideas.

Your bloody kidding me... That is the most ugly controller I have ever seen...

I agree, little toads do not make good controllers.

Killzone 2





Why do they make it all futuristic, and then give the guy an M-16? Looks cool, though, very cool indeed.

Just know that there will be a more traditional after-market design that will likely sell many times the number of PS3s.

Has anyone noticed that consoles are beginning to look like computers? Also, if I have to worry about batteries in my controller, that's going to be discouraging.

worry not. I did some research on Teslas ideas to transmit electricity through air, and succeeded in getting it working - at least for shorter distances. I am currently in talks with all 3 of these console developers about them licensing "my" invention. but I cannot say exactly how far we're coming along in the negotiations. in fact, I can't really even say what I've already said. don't tell anyone, ok?

[WMCoolmon]

Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me and everyone else who reads this public message board.

I thought all Tesla did was invent the radio (That's right, it wasn't Marconi.) and have a metal band named after him?

[Nuke]

those look more like concept renderings, you know, those things the design queers show the executives so that they may decide which one looks cooler. i bet real money they go for the least utilitarian design id rather see something you can fit between your cd changer and dvd player. the good looks should be on the screen, not on the box.

and wtf is a terraflop?

well, he did a lot more. like inventing alternating current.

he went kind of mad later on in his life and was determined to develop a death ray to kick all kinds of ass.

Looks a bit big for my taste, give me the nice, compact Nintendo Revolution -  with its size comparable to a thick paperback book - anyday...

[übermetroid]

I think it is ugly.  Too normal looking.

[Omniscaper]

Wow, those are some nice propaganda pics. Those ingame sceenies look like CG cutscenes. But then again, I also didn't believe in the Doom 3 screenshots during the Quake 3 days. Amazing what the next generation of games will look like. I can see the game remakes all over again.

[Descenterace]

A teraflop is a million million floating point operations per second. More than 2 TF in a box that small is amazing.

But if the PS3 uses the Cell, as everyone was claiming it would, I believe that number.
Assuming they worked out the bugs in the 1024-bit high-frequency system bus...

Yeah, consoles are becoming more and more like PCs. I wonder why this is, and what it tells us?

[aldo_14]

Looking more and more like PCs, surely?  The Cell architecture AFAIK is completely different from PC architecture; it's IIRC almost like a hardware based mobile agent system.

PS3 console is a bit ugly; albeit it's quite nice & shiny.  The console looks  a bit of a bastardized x-box controller design though (which I hate).

Gamesradar - http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/ - has a bunch of stuff popping up for the PS3 now, including videos.

Also screenies
