PlayStation 3 Details Finalized

 

May 8, 2006

 

Now that the Sony pre-E3 Conference is over with, it's time to get down to the dirty details about the system.  Here's the facts:

 

It's Going to Be Expensive and Have Two SKUs - Just like Kutaragi said last year, the PS3 will indeed cost a king's ransom, clocking in at $499US for a stripped down version (without HDMI, no wifi, and no memory card slots, and, it's not upgradeable), and a full, unrestricted version for $599US.

 

Controller is Motion Sensitive - Stealing a page straight out of Nintendo's playbook, Sony is copying the Wii's controller motion sensitivity, while keeping all the buttons, and overall shape of the classic dual shock.

 

Release Date - November 17, 2006.  Just in time for Christmas.  2 million units.  Worldwide.
