I was expecting something more when the original concept was released:

But no, Sony is sticking to what they know works. And I hope it bites them where it hurts - their sales.

I probably wont get a PS3. I own a PS2...but never use it. The only console I'd but, and am considering buying in the future is an XBox360. It seems like a nice system, but i'm waiting for it to be a bit cheaper (prolly get slashed on the next new competitor release). I also have a few other things to pay for before then.

As for the Wii...ehhh. Revolution was a much better name imo. But i've never been a big Nintendo fan anyways.

I was considering a PS3 until i saw this, I'm severely disappointed with it, $500 for the CHEAP one ugghh i thought 400 for the 360 was alot. Looks like I'm getting a 360.

Just to add some more fuel to the fire. If we are talking about stealing controller ideas check out this:

Sony is likely going with the older looking controller because people like it, It fits very well in hand and has lots of easily accessed buttons. while i think that all consoles are currently a ripoff(well the 360 and the PS3) i dont think i will be using any of them. I'll just stick to my computer and mod my Ps2 controller to work with it.
