Hmm...looks pretty good. Mind posting the capabilities of the ps2 for comparison?

Not ps2, but compare it to the xbox 360

7 controlers? PS3 > Xbox 360.

Where's it say 7 controllers?

Read gamespot for the full specs... omfg it will kill Xbox 360 Lol.

7 Controllers is dumb, imagine how many split screens..

you don't have to use all 7. but ya that'd be way too confusing

I don't care how it looks. 7 controlers means that I can have a party and no one has to wait for another to die.

Go PC!

These consoles aren't that exciting, just redoing some of the modern computer technology in a box that says "Playstation" on it. Nothing more.

If only you had 7 controllers on the gamecube for mario party. zYoud need a really big tv though forseven controllers

cost of 600-700 euros(700-850) i think ill wait a few months till the price drops.

I agree with Karant... =\

a computer with controllers on your tv..,

i have a 3.2 ghz clocked computer for that. hey, it's easire to hide ****ography too.

for 800 bucks i can build a machine that pisses on those specs, and rip and emulate the ps3 dvds

ps3 is not > or < than pc. you can't make a generalization about the two, it all depends on the game.

Does anyone mind posting a link to the picture. I saw the PS3 picture once and it looks....awful, but maybe they changed the design.

Here ya go:

This is a first but...I HATE THE NEW PS CONTROLLERS! They look like boomeranges. Seriously, thats the one thing they should have left alone.

The rest looks pretty kick ***. SEVEN CONTROLLERS! Christ you need a 50"+ TV just so everyone would get a decent screen piece, that is it divides the TV screen equally. Also why not 8 controllers?

Yeah, controllers are odd. So is the number 7.

It looks pretty nice, I personally like the white one the best. I got pretty bored of the black PS consoles because looking at my ps2 doesnt make black cool anymore.lol Yea, I also have to agree on the controller. They should just leave it like the ps1 and ps2 controllers.
