I believe yes.I am expecting the PS3 to be able to stand vertically and that thing just cant.

edit:YOU CHANGED THE FAKE WITH REAL ONE TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL DIDNT YOU

They did say the next gen PS will be looked for more towards full entertainment, DVD, Gaming and more so why would you think it would have to stand up if Sony wants to make this a full family thing when you could use it universally in any family room?

Gimmicks and the japanese market comes to mind

Argh, this is killing me. I think I\'ll head to bed... cya later alligator...

And why couldn\'t that stand? Only thing is from Black to white in color... I like the color but Xbox is white too.

the looks of that thing seems as if vertically it can easily fall.

Thats just a drawing, but it could stand up just fine IMO.

that\'s a photoshopped picture of the sony blu ray player, not the ps3.  It hasn\'t been revealed yet.

So far (according to various sources)

-Ken has done his usual powerpoint presentation on sales and playstation lifespan.
-Kojima gave some MGS4 details (he will be writing the script)
-More MGS4 details to come later in the conference
-Ken announced blank re-writeble UMDS est. $25

where did you get that from

Next update:

Queue pointless interlude of flashy CGI graphics (not sure what that was for).

Ken Kutaragi introduced, and he proceeds to give the audience another lesson on the history of the PlayStation consoles. From “Real-time 3D-CG” to “Emotion Engine.” He confirms backwards compatibility of the PlayStation 3, eliciting the first audience applause since he took the stage.

Here\'s gamespot update guys:

LOS ANGELES--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce their next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it now is officially called.

The company had laid a blanket of posters around the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Bus stalls and billboards around the convention center proclaimed "Prepare for Chang3" in the distinctive PlayStation font with partial shots of the Dual Shock controller\'s square-circle-triangle-X buttons.

Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also supporrd CR-ROM, CDR+W, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R. It also confirmed the machine would be backwards compatible all the way to the original PlayStation.

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz, a detachable 2.5 inch HDD slot, six usb 2.0 ports, Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, a compact flash memory slot, Compact flash slot, 2 hdmi outputs, 1 av multi out, 1 SPDIF optical output, and 1-gigabit Ethernet built in port

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."
