Now normally I wouldn't give a good god damn, because I don't own any consoles.

But see this part:
PowerPC-base Core @3.2GHz

Very sweet indeed. And it's using the Cell Architecture that Sony Announced earlier this year. What's that mean? Well... This:
total floating point performance: 218 GFLOPS

It could end up being plausible for Mac emulators of these things to be made. At least somewhat plausible anyway. And also the whole console vs computer thing that was going on in the Xbox thread, can be solved just by looking at the way those stats read.

That is pretty goddamned awesome.

[Dameon Angell]

apparently the graphics processor is more powerful than if you had a system with dual GeForce 6800 Ultras.

Is this special cell 3.2GHz processor going to outperform Xbox 360's three processors all at 3.2GHz?

Three comments....

1. That console design looks incredible. Sleek, stylish, and futuristic.

2. I wonder if the design change in the controllers has anything to do with their problems with being sued for violating that forced feedback patent, and this is their way around it. And, if not...does that mean the controller design is subject to being changed before release?

3. I can't even imagine what Grand Theft Auto 4 will be like on this thing. Insane-o.

1. Yeah, the console design was cool...especially the black one. Hot damn.

2. I don't like the new design for the controller. It looks uncomfortable as hell.

3.Oh, don't even get me started on that shit...

[NaiLed]

so what are the PS2 specs so i can compare?

and what's with the controller? why even change it? argh

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Never took Sony for a knock-off job. Normally they're really good with design--obviously someone's been sleeping on the job or just works at Bose on the nightshift.

Ladies and gentlemen, the PS3:


...or is it a Bose Lifestyle system?


Seriously, I was looking for something a bit different.

[Subjugation]

Damn, Conc hit that shit right on the head.

[Mr. Peanuts]

I don't think it should be silver, looks like theyre trying too hard to make it look all 'next-gen'

[Liquid Blue]

Well it comes in silver, white and black. Don't know if all those will be available in all stores from the get go, though.
