All the info is here, this is what I found most interesting: -Playable PS3 demos this week at E3. -Gran Turismo HD with Cars and Motorcycles -Free XBL-style online community, with handles, text/voice messaging, content download, etc. -Virtua Tennis PS3  -MGS4, "Raiden: 'Now it's my turn to protect you, Snake.'" Liquid Snake!!! -PS3 Boomerang controller is no more, now it looks like a PS2 Dual Shock, but with an X360 styled guide button in the middle. -THE CONTROLLER HAS MOTION/TILT SENSITIVITY! "Six degrees of freedom with no external sensor required" "will come packed with every PS3" Wii-owned? I'm not 100% clear on the full capability of it. -Two configurations for launch, Retard Pack with 20GB HDD, and PS360-real-deal pack with 60GB HDD
I thought I could hold out till late 2007 to get a PS3, but it seems like they aren't going to hold back. I must have one as soon as possible... but damn $600 bucks?!?  I think i'll have to eat cat food for the rest of the year.EDIT for more info: The PS3 controller (i guess it isn't called Dual Shock anymore, since it doesn't rumble!)  System dimensions: PS3: 325mm x 98mm x 274mm / 5kg Compared to: Xbox: 320mm x 101mm x 260mm / 3.84kg Xbox 360: 309mm x 83mm x 258mm /3.49kg This is one hulking monstrosity of a machine... 11lbs! Bigger than the original Xbox! Retard Pack lacks: Wi-Fi, HDMI output (bye bye blu-ray movie playback), Memory Stick/SD/Flash card inputs. The PS3 itself:  Looks the same as before, but apparently they have taken out a lot of the ports promised before. (like the gigabit ethernet ports, 2x HDMI outputs) Also the chrome stripe may indicate that one is the Premium unit (like the DVD-drive on the 360?) Upon further pondering... PS3 is too damn expensive, and the game I'm most excited for is MGS4 which sure as hell isn't making the launch. I will probably just wait this mutha out after all. We still have the MS and Nintendo Conferences tomorrow, and of course E3 proper, no need to get overexcited at this point.

I don't think it will outsell Wii or 360 for a while. The price point puts it outta the "joe six pack" gamer market, which is what PS2 and PSX dominated. PS3 in its current state and price point seems aimed only at hardcore fans and VG/Tech/Home-Theater junkies with lots of disposable income.
The $500-600 price makes 360 premium look like a bargain, and Wii like chump change. When it comes down to it, when a mullet jockey walks into WalMart to buy a VG system, he'll spring for the cheaper one. I will buy it when MGS4 or DMC4 comes out. My biggest fear was that GTA4 would be on PS3 exclusive, but now that its announced for 360, I feel a little better, hehe.
