I think they forgot that a vertical PS2 can get it's reading laser damaged

[Helm]

whoa is this and the new xbox fighting for whose got the worst designed controller or what

[James]

The PS3 can stand vertically or horizontally.

The controller design, I'm not sold on. Mostly because the PSX/PS2 controller was sex in my hand. But it does look like it's mostly cosmetic changes, and it will still fit into your hand the same way the PS2 one did. We'll see, though.

Regardless, I am very sexually aroused by everything I've seen and read about the PS3's unveiling today.

[eggyolk]

The controller gets me, too. I think it's supposed to be "ergonomically designed" and "sleek" for the 21st century, but after a few hours of tension and palm sweat, that thing is going to slide right out of my hands. :/

[DamnthatDavid]

God Dammit! We are so blind! They designed that for the female player! With it's rumble feature built in, it's designed so that girls can use it as a dildo.

[the_dudefather]

the console looks cool, but the controller looks a bit rubbish

but look at the black one:



yum

[DeadKennedys]

the new xbox and controller actually look real nice

[bigtimecow]

the font reminds me of spiderman 2. but i agree about the controller, would slip easily. but i don't understand how that ps3 is so fucking huge when the new ps2's are about the size of a vhs tape (but thinner). i mean, i know the ps3 is apparently better than the ps3, but i don't think it requires so much space.

but then again, as much as we know, that thing could be only a foot tall and the controller really small. :tongue


edit: speaking of new xbox...

"now get a free human head with it"

[DeadKennedys]

If I ever had to use "sleek and sexy" to describe an inanimate object, the xbox 360 would be that object.

The smaller, the better. They both look good, though. Anything is an improvement on the current XBox.
I'll go w/ the PS3 over the X-Box, but that's just because of game selection. Sony has already guaranteed backwards compatibility - Microsoft hasn't. Yet.
But what's the story w/ the controllers? Will the PSOne and PSTwo controllers become obsolete?

[the_dudefather]

i hope the new nintendo console isnt silver (which is unlikely based on the ds and sp), i hate this fad to make all electronics silver or white, it looks incredibly tacky as if they all want to be iPods or something

ps3 is bigger than the last xbox lol.and the controller maybe people get used to it, but i dont want to play with something that looks like it was taken out of a porno flick.
it seems all that hentai finally got them. :/

[King Hadas]

I actually have a picture of the new nintendo system, check it out.

[rockets redglare]

Apparently, this is it:

1) Have you held a PS3 yet? How do you know if it's bigger?

2) You're kind of an idiot, aren't you?

Here is a pretty decent preview of the console.

Console owners arn't allowed better graphics chipsets and processors than PC owners
Let alone have Unreal 3 based games

Damn them all to hell

YAY!

Yes they will. Notice how there are no controller ports on that thing, as the new controllers are wireless. No dual-shock for you!

Also, if you direct your attention to Gamespot, they have a few videos and screenshots of various games and tech demos. The majority (if not all), are rendered in real time, meaning this is technically what actual gameplay will look like on the PS3. It is worth mentioning that games MIGHT not look this good right away though (memory and data space will be used up by actual gameplay mechanics, so not as much room or time to refine the graphics that much).

Just look at how the PS2 games looked at launch, and how they look now. RE4, Shadow of the Colossus, and God of War are prime examples of showing how the graphical limits of the PS2 aren't easily reached. So while the PS3 launch games MAY not look as good as these demos let on, they will eventually.

Also, Final Fantasy 7 fans, there is a tech demo of FF7's FMV intro on the PS3. Except it's been completely redone with the graphic style of Advent Children, and it's rendered in real-time.

The next-gen Nintendo must be friggin' tiny. Unless the chick holding it has small hands.

[Chojin]

The new PS looks like it belongs in Michael Jackson's Scream video :o

And the controller it comes with looks like something you get from Mad Katz for $2 only to realize it was $2 too much.

[ziggytrix]

i'm witholding judgement til more details come.

i'm guessing there's no dual shock in the new ps3 controller tho, since that would be a big drain on a wireless device's battery and they can just blame the lawsuit. anybody know?
