Thought Xbox 360 was expensive? Get this: PS3's most basic model...$500. That's $100 more than the 360 Premium model! That'll only get you the system with a 20gb hard drive. For $600... ::faint:: ...you'll get a 60gb hard drive, HDMI, output, built-in wi-fi, and MS/SD/CF memory card slots. I'd hate to be a parent of a spoiled Playstation brat.
November 17 if you still want it. Or can afford it.
Oh, so that boomerang controller everybody hated? Back to plain ol' Dual Shock form. But with triggers for the bottom shoulder buttons! Yay! And...six-degrees of tilt sensing. "Hold It!," exclaims Phoenix Wright. Boy, if Sony wanted to steal Nintendo's thunder, they really half-assed it. Microsoft tried to market this kind of controller for PC many, many years ago but it never took off. No, it doesn't sense actual movement or position. Just tilt. And early report from the Sony press conference is that the guy demo-ing it wasn't having an easy time using it. Worse still...they dropped rumble because it interferes with the sensor. So...I guess we can't call it the Dual Shock 3. Maybe the Dual Tilt 1?
Boo-yah!
