most people don't have a computer with that much stuff on it.

i guess we know what next Christmas' Cabbage Patch Doll is gonna be.

where'd you find that?
I bet you anything it's a fake
I seriously doubt they'd spell out playstaion 3 instead of just PS3 like how they did on all the other systems
here's another fake

we saw it on Fox News today, & the kids said it looked the same.

oh ok
that controller looks weird
it just looks kinda fake you know
that still might be just an early design
I heard it has more buttons than the PS2 controller

I can see some women pleasuring themselves with that controller. I knew the vibrate feature was a bad idea.

Looks pretty damn sweet! I thought I heard the next system would be called the PSX. That might have been another fake, though.

Yeah, its a real pic... but its still not a final design, it could change completely before the actual thing comes out. You can look at the PSP for proof of that, it changed alot in the year between its first showing and its release.

Cal, the PSX was a version of the PS2 that only got released in Japan (because it failed miserably), it was a PS2 with a built-in hard-drive for recording TV shows and I think maybe a satellite TV tuner.

(and I bet you're thinking this... yes, its the Spiderman font on the side )

I hope that's not the final design of the controller, the pointy bits look like theyed get in the way unless you were planning on using it to knock out the Joker

I liek this one better, it reminds me of the 2001 obilisk

Knock out the joker. I haven't heard that one before.

I like the black one better, too. I hope it's not curved all around. I don't stand my PS2 up vertically, and I'm sure the constant rocking would skip the disc right before I beat the MOTHER FUCKING LEVEL, YOU PIECE OF SHIT! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?!?!?!?!?!....I would say.

Yuo dont have to worry about it rocking, its actually shaped alot like the PS2. Gamespot has alot more pictures from different angles. PS3 Pictures

Sweet. I can't wait for this. Any date set, yet? Not that dates are set in stone.



It looks like a bread box.

I always heard 2005 but hell I bet anything its for next xmass 2006

I've heard Spring 2006, and thats probably for Japan. I'd expect to see it in late spring or early summer in the US.

HEY go to gamespot.com and watch some movies for the PS3 \
it's UNBELIEVABLE!
the graphics are too amazing for words, and the game pay it self is just breath taking!
they're redoing Final Fantasy VII! it is SO cool!
go check it out now!
