Lest you forget I'm a moderator.

Also, the only real perk I've seen with the playstation series is that they're easily transported, and don't take up much space. That's about it...and also exclusive rights to the GTA series...otherwise, well...

I think I might actually buy this console..

I just watched the Killzone trailer, and just to let you know.. I needed new pants.

Gamespot.com

The controller is...uh...weird...

The cycle continues...

That controller, will actually, kind of suck

Your fingers will be stretched round it akwardly

possible.. i don't know the height scale

that is a shite controller

I will not judge that controller until i hold it.

It's like how everyone likes those small Xbox controllers, but I liked the larger sized ones better.

It is butt ugly though, I can tell you that much just by looking at it. The console is sexy, but the controller is ugly, that is to say.

Also, we need some pics of it in here...

Boomerang?

i was thinking along the lines of a female pleasure device...

Looks like all the next gen ones have wireless, they better have perfected the wireless technoledgy or I'll go to Sony, Micrsoft and Nintendo and beat the heads in of the people who decided to do that.

[9:20:14pm] <chis> Boomerang anyone?

I had the same thought

the controller looks like the old dual shock that came out in the 90s

Heh heh...when better controllers come out from MadCatz for the PS3...you can use the old controller as a weighted boomerang.
