Lets see whow this plays out, we still gotta wait for the Wii Price oh another funny thing is sony is using PS2 wireless controllers for the PS3 that is kinda cheap of them.
Edit:
Apparently the 500 version doesnt have HDMI and no wifi built in, so in other words it renders your blu-ray Hi Def experience since it will downsample the video to 420 and it doesnt support 1080.
This doesnt seem right since you cant really upgrade the cheap version in order to make it compatible with the premium version unlike with the x360 I wonder why they just didnt do a hd version and one without the hd and sell it for cheaper a la x360 because what they did is ridiculous.
Oh another thing the controller now doesnt rumble but it has some tilt motion sensor technology, and the games they showed on the florr looked no where near that killzone CG trailer.
Looks bad for Sony IMHO.

i was looking at some of the ps3 games… and they do really look bad (comparing them to the LAUNCH 360 games).
The lack of ant aliasing capabilities really seem to hurt it… instead of having nice trees and things they have jagged scary edges everywhere… Furthermore, the ps3 lacks all the post enhancements that the 360’s graphic chip can do (because they have more graphics memory and less system memory… while the ps3 has more system memory and less graphics… but they both add to 500mb). For example, the 360 can do motion blurring, depth of field, and glow all easily while it looks like none of the ps3 games can.
While comparing pgr3 on the 360 to Gran Turismo (assuming that’s their big racing game for launch), Gran Turismo looks horrible.
(ps3 on top, 360 on bottom)
Clearly the motion blur and post that the 360 can do really makes the game feel more like you’re going fast.
Just my 2cents

Yeah, Gran Turismo HD (is what they’re calling it) did look like Gran Turismo 3 - but that’s not coming out 'till next year at the earliest. I _hope_ it looks better. 😟
And we have to remember that one year ago Xbox 360’s games didn’t look all that great, either. They’re still a ways off.
