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 over 300 million transistors, larger than any processor available commercially today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process with 8 layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1000 total if bought today.

The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video. Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "Super computer for computer entertainment."

Wow, that looks niiiice. o:

Suh weeeeet.... o___o ... I'm more of a Sony fan than Microsoft.... For some odd reason.

i actually perfer the 360 look, seems smaller too.

whats with the powere switch at the back?

the controller looks good but i wonder how it'll feel. i prefer the 360 controler too.

And it kind looks like an old Nintindo machine, not sure which.

But the specs!..impressive, dual HD!

The power button is at the front.
It looks roughly the same size as the XBOX 360.
The XBOX 360 controller is nothing more than a wireless XBOX controller S.

To me i think the ps3 controller looks like the n64 controller a little bit and to be honest just by looking at it i think it would be quite awkward to hold.

As far as looks are concerned i have the give the edge to Xbox360 right now. I am feeling its design a lot more than PS3.

The main reason Ps3 will be better is because of the Blu-Rays.

It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for a detachable 2.5-inch HDD, somewhat similar to the Xbox 360's. Sony did not mention if the drive would be standard.

Theres also a power (well it looks like a power) swithch on the back. Check out the size pic posted above or the first pics post, then the pic index, its the 3rd pic.

i rather like the xbox controller, compared to the ps2/GC, it does seem smaller, and les curverd though. the P3 i'll drop, just seems odd.

are there an vent holes on the P3? the whole back of the 360 is covered with them but the P3...? and i did'nt expect the P3 to be so small!

The vent holes are on the side of the PS3 here is a picture of them

Looks too expensive already. It seems like a computer with an uber video card.
