It's not the look that makes the controller great, it's the feeling, so stfu untill u have tried to hold it
eNeS, you do have a good point and at least they are wireless!
the ps3 design was kickass but i agree the controller sucks i mean the ps2controller was awesome i think they should just make that one better. but i think that it will have some serious competion between the xbox. I kno for sure that it will kill the new game cube without a doubt
I noticed that on the game list it did not have a Madden football game. I know that maybe it goes without saying that there probably will be because that is a EA game and has been a huge money maker for like the last 16 years on any and every console that had it.

Has anyone heard about how much it might cost?

There are going to be 2 versions of the xbox with one costing $300 and the other $400.
I think sony will heighten the competition and release one version of the ps3 which will include almost all the peripherals included at a minimal price. Just a guess though.

I think thst is a pretty good guess myself......
this is such an oh so foxy system...don't know if I wanna play it or make babies with it. I think the controller will be fine...just like every new controller you must get used to it.
I have gotten ahold of this system personally (through a free system if u sign up for some bs ad) and the controller is SWEET. Game play is jst so much more operable with it. I gave my cousin my old ps2 and i will never regret it. GOtta love the ps3. And to say about new nintendo system. The only thing thats a positive about it is you can get any old nintendo game EVER made. This is sweet in the fact that that is the only reason i will buy it. As for the xbox 360 PEACE OUT, U SUCK.

Link please.
I was doing a little seaching around for the specs of all three and it seems like both the PS3 and Xbox 360 wipe the Rev. away...

It also appears that the PS3 and Xbox 360 are pretty close. Where one has a better ______, the other makes up for it with a better ______.


I think its awsome
