Looks pretty sleek if you ask me. And I think it's pretty funny that they're using the Spider-Man movie font.

The specs. Twice as powerful as Xbox 360 according to Sony.

Nice. Very nice. Still don't understand the "vertical" obsession, but I like the design. Hopefully the final version will have four controller ports, but I doubt it.

Re: PS3 hardware

I believe they're all wireless and it lets you use up to 7.

Re: PS3 hardware

I dont like wireless. I just dont.

Re: PS3 hardware

Golly. Every new console uses wireless controllers by default? AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING. My balls shrivel in delight.

And yes, I love the Spider-Man movie font. That's the first thing I noticed about it.

I don't either. I don't see why they have to get rid of the cords. It doesn't look like we're going to have much of a choice though. I expect Revolution to be all wireless too.

Re: PS3 hardware

Ah, yes. Wireless. Yay. I forgot about that technology. No more tangled cords. Those were always fun to untangle.

The controller.

Re: PS3 hardware

bluetooth technology has its disadvantages also.....

Ive seen some counterstrike players put holes in the wall because their stuff ****ed up and they lost a match.

Re: PS3 hardware

Yeah, the sight of a thousand black twisting and curling electrical cords across the length of my family room is truly a beautiful one. And tripping... oh, the tripping. And the spilling. And the grime. Yum.

edit: WTF?!?!?!? IT'S A BATARANG!!!!

[Kefka Jr.]

Re: PS3 hardware

Oh, SNAP. Wireless boomerangs? Awesome.

[Naruto]

Re: PS3 hardware

It's not that I like cords. It's the batteries or recharging that I don't like. That's the reason I don't use my Wavebird.

[Magus]

Re: PS3 hardware

We got our Wavebird.... how long ago? It's perfect. No problems, not even a battery change.

It's my best friend.

[Funk]

Re: PS3 hardware

That's a funky looking controller. Won't be able to tell if I like it until I get it in my hands. Personally I thought the PS1 and PS2 controllers had the best feel of any up to date, but maybe they've found a way to improve it.

[Manyak]

Re: PS3 hardware

Ech, I really don't think I'm going to like those controllers.
