and 600 euro!!!

welll...

The 20GB will retail for $499 in the US (59800 yen in Japan, 499 euros in Europe), and the 60GB model will retail for $549 (open price in Japan, 599 euros in Europe).

Going to be hard to justify paying 100 quid for an extra 40GB, particularly when it's only $50 more in the states....

6:32: Ken Kutaragi takes the stage, and asks the crowd if they enjoyed the latest progress on Ps3 titles, which is met with some applause and cheers. Kutaragi then promises "one more big thing we have kept secret." He talks about the controller of the 1994 PlayStation controller's debut. He promises to enhance controllability to the next tier for the next generation. He then holds up the final PS3 controller. It's a silver DualShock with a little black button in the middle with the classic PlayStation logo. He asks Harrison to demonstrate what the controller can do. A demo trailer shows a crate, hopping around of its own accord. It breaks open and the PS3 controller is inside. He lifts the controller up, and the controller on the screen lifts up. With no external sensor required, he can move the controller in six degrees of movement.

6:36: Harrison notes that the Bluetooth-capable, wireless controller will be lighter than the PS2's normal controller, and calls it "a fantastic innovation." Harrison says Incognito's Warhawk will make use of the motion-sensing capabilities, then asks Incognito's Dylan Jobe to demonstrate. He controls the game's fighter using the PS3 controller as a proxy, tilting the controller to gain altitude, bank, perform barrel rolls and other actions.

which all sounds strangely familiar...

Something similar will be on the 360 before the end of the year.

As well as the extra 40GB of space, the 20GB version won't have
* Wireless
* Memory Stick/SD storage
* HDMI Output

Which sucks.

i suppose you boyos have a few dev kits, eh? eh? eh?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I've seen the dev kit running. Very impressive.

it will be impresssive, but how much more impressive than the competition! Sony dont have great first party content, and the 360 is not that different. The price can pretty much be blamed on blu-ray which is also a risk. Word on the street is that MS are building a handheld for release by the end of the year. They hopw to push some of the expense to the handheld allowing them to drop the 360 by 100 euro. its going to be interesting!

no wi-fi or hd output for the 499 version which makes the blu-ray drive pointless!
