    OMG, the PS3 controller is crazy. It has 6 degrees of motion allowing you to tilt the controller to move the object on the screen (e.g. if you're flying a plane)

    I've been waiting for this because I know it's going to torch Xbox 360.... However, given Sony's history, I'm not putting any faith into the price until it actually hits the shelves.... :lol:

    Funny, the gap between PC and console is narrowing...


    Edit: if those ARE the prices, I'm sure they'll be a LOT of happy parents out there.... :rolleyes:

    Ouch, that's a budget breaker. I suppose that if I were in the market for a Blu Ray player then it's not a bad deal... but I have no idea if I wan to be in the market for Blue Ray yet.

    I wonder if they'll have enough supply for launch day.

    I think that was MSFT's biggest F-up.

    If I were Sony, I'd find a way to make the PS3 $200 and put Xbox in the GRAVE. :angry:

    2 million copies at launch
    2 million extra until the end of the year
    and another 2 million until 31st March 2007

    I got the prices off the Sony Press Conference Live (streaming) 1 hour ago.

    Check out GameSpot... I'm sure they'll have the press conference available for download soon.

    I'm definitely getting one. I've gotten pretty much every console since the original Nintendo. No reason to change now!

    Of course, with kids and law school, I haven't played my 360 for more than 30 minutes total.

    I would be an Xbox360 fanboy, but my wife got addicted to Zuma so I don't get to play it as much as I want. Hopefully the Nintendo Wii will have something to distract her so I can reclaim the 360.
