that black PS3 is the best george foreman grill ive ever seen. would look great in a modern kitchen with white walls and black cookers etc :P.

seriously though i think sony made a good call having a HDD as standard in every PS3. it means devs can assume that there is something there at least. at the same time, it really should be upgradeable. technically u could get a 360 core pack and upgrade it over time to a deluxe pack.
as for blue-ray, it wouldnt be too bad of BR was guranteed to be the standard for all movies..but its not. BR could go the way of UMD, making that extra money u payed for it in the PS3 useless. games will not get up to 25gb in size unless the devs decide to put loads of movie footage in with it (which is pointless since the ingame graphics will be gorgeous).
then theres the cell....why? what was the point? if u want to beat MS at processing power just get ibm to put in 8 threads or something. would probably be alot cheaper. its not gonna shake the industry in any way. there is barely any support for it. even IBM arent really using it, there just using there own chips. it really looks like another emotion engine mess :S.
the motion sensor on the controller, though nowhere near as good as the WIIs, is a nice little addition. hopefullly it will make some games more interesting.
and the price....wow. they may have gotten away with that in the past since there was no effective competition but are they aware that MS wants there head on a stick, and they have the weaponary to do it?
i dont know....sony seem to have lost the plot all together. they have gone the way of nintendo of old in terms of attitude and arrogance. history may very well repeat itself. still the sony and playstation names are very strong brands, especially in the west.
nintendo are offering a very nice alternative though. a cheap console (hopefully), cheapish games (please o please), in built memory for storage, card reader for more storage and (if the rumour is true) the ability to attach any external HDD for extra storage. the controller sounds really kewl (from what i heard from e3) and the games shown for the Wii were very well recieved (bar the odd annoyance in terms of control).
based on e3 anyway, ninty should be very pleased with themselves, as should MS (the halo 3 trailer has alot of ppl excited). sony also has some very positve points (mgs4 for example) but ppl seem very annoyed at the way they are handling the PS3 and there arrogance in general.
