Playstation 3 pictures

Thanks to egbtmagus (who stood in a very long line to see this ;)) We have pics that he took in person of the PS3. Sony also had a presentation, but its the same as the Press Release.

Awesome job, am i the only one that thinks the controller looks like a bent dildo?

[jAkUp]

Haha, if it has a rumble pack I'm sure it can be used as one :D

its kind of ugly up close and it looks like a bread holder.

I love it

Microsoft went for concave, Sony went for convex. Talk about rivalry...

First thing I think of when seeing the console, are the old BETA VCRs from the early 80s. Straight up fugly with a bunch of curves in a shiney case. And yes, that controller looks like some bent double dildo :D

Nevertheless, thanks for standing in that LONG ass line to get photos.

i think real pictures make it look better than those gay renders. great pics jak, thanks man :D

[jAkUp]

Well, thank egbtmagus :) He flew all the way from Florida, and met us at E3. (He is a really cool guy) He stood in a really long line to see these PS3 videos. He is leaving from LA tommorrow, so you won't see him around here till Monday or so. He has a ton of good pics as well :)

I wonder if you throw that controller... will it come back to you?

[Knot3D]

I wonder if you throw that controller... will it come back to you?

It will !.....If you throw it at someone's head :D

[Stoneyguy]

Yep, it's an ugly system. Yet somehow I can't wait to have it.... I wonder why?

[Vagrant Zero]

I wonder if my ps2 controllers will work with it [my ps1 controllers work with my ps2]. Either way I'm sure someone will make a ps2 repilica controller for the ps3 and I'll buy it, I don't like the austrialian vibe of this new one.

[BioHazZarD]

Damn they gotta stick with the orignal PS2 controller thats the best one ever.. that one just looks like something dragged the plastic a little to far. why so tall ?

While I agree that the new controller doesn't "look" very nice, I do think it will be a better controller.

The analog sticks are a little smaller and dont seem to stick out so much. This means your thumb isnt quite stretched as much leaving your hand overall more relaxed. They also look a little closer to where the d-pad is and X,Circle,Tri,Square.

The X, Circle, Tri, Square now have that plastic jewel look that the XBOX controllers have, though they are not stupidly egg-shaped or anything. Hopefully this means the pressure response will feel more direct with less travel in "dead-space" before you get those 256 levels or whatever. I cant say that for sure but I hope that is what they are/were aiming for with that design.

The handles are a little longer. This is probably better for people with bigger hands while offering little to no disadvantage to those of us with small hands.

The only thing I hope is that with the battery the thing is weighted properly. I'd hate it if it had a heavy battery pack at the top or the bottom, which messed with the balance and probably hurt your wrists in time.

I dont really know about the shoulders. It would have been nice to have triggers like the XBOX maybe, but I always think how they are only useful in certain games like car games. I actually prefer normal digital shoulder buttons for FPS.

Well thats my opinion on them anyway. No way of knowing until I play with them, and I could be totally wrong. I might hate the analog sticks, and the face buttons may feel even less responsive than before.
