[karrar]

Its gonna be soooo expensive at this rate.... >____>;;

::starts to save up money::

Oh yeah, that controler looks shiny.

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Was Sony smoking something when they made this?
Kyro is going to have a field day about this...

Seriously though, even im not liking this model.
Well, just the controls i mean. The system is kinda ok.

And i dont see how this blu-ray thing will work with the backwords compatability. There needs to be a blu-ray spot, and a cd/dvd spot then...

The wireless sounds ok though. Does that mean i dont need to wire it for online gaming, i could just use my wireless router?

i saw this before, and it looks fake. The lettering is the spiderman movie font.

you bet!

cause that picture is ugly.. well.. the controller is at least.

could be the lawsuit that said sony can't make anymore dualshock controllers, because they infringed on a patent.

edit: one more thing, where are the vents?

apparently, it's real. scary, the controller is ugly.

[Jus2s1mp13]

Whoa look awesome. Though i think i stick with my orginal for now.

[magnificentmike]

eh, I don't know. a little hard to believe, but whatever, still looks cool. the controller looks like it wouldn't bother me much.

[*kryogenix*]

Whoa look awesome. Though i think i stick with my orginal for now.

Your original PS1 still works?

[FoOd]

Your original PS1 still works?

Mine still works! >:D
ha ha

[*kryogenix*]

Mine still works! >:D
ha ha

amazing that an optical drive system, especiall the ps1 still works.

I know of a bunch of NES's that are still chugging along though.

and I know of plenty of dead PS2s.

[FoOd]

edit: one more thing, where are the vents?

Oh yes, where is the vent system? I wouldn't want it to be overheated when I am playing a game.

EDIT//

Oh yes, many dead PS2's I know of.

I wonder if we have to polish this PS3

that Controller looks crappy.........it's like(09)
( )

[pandamonium]

the controller looks like a steering wheel lol. but i like how you get to choose different colors. but what amazes me is how people are going to afford this.. i mean its nice and i love the graphics cause it has real time graphix which is pretty mind blowing but.... it also has 2 graphix cards ... and those run up to like 500 bucks each.. now obviously they arent gunna sell it for 1000 bucks each but how are they gunna price this.. i think its gunna be way more than 300 if psp was 250...

i love the graphix cause its real time. but basically thats it.

[Jus2s1mp13]

Your original PS1 still works?

Yes my ps1 still work.
