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.
