Earlier you were all saying how the first pics looked so gay then they were proven fake, then these new pics came out with a controller and the controller looks gay, feel free to finish the sentence.

wut

someone is going to find another pic of a controller or something else and then that one will be retarded as well. The system doesn't come out until 2006 so prototype photos of it are nothing to get pissy about

(not you in particular, just the general theme)

I say if they are going to have it support 7 controllers then why not make the controllers stackable

gpu spec.

Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer," which is based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second. It also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today

very nice.

i have a question:

why would anyone buy a ps3 controller if they can just use the ps2 controller. it doesnt seem like it has sanything different/special about it.

well, aside from wireless stuff which some people dont care about.

Yup, the PS3 is way faster than the Xbox360.

But the only games that ever interested me on consoles were all made by Bioware, and Bioware develops for the XBox exclusively, right?
