These "Boomerangs", as some have dubbed them, have existed through the ages, emerging periodically from their dank dwellings when mankind has been least prepared to take them into their hearts.

Once again this time has dawned, and with the advent of Sony\'s next console, people can finally grab a "Boomerang" of their own and go knock down some of those vile kangaroos and other anomalous animals that keep kicking down our garden gnomes. If only people would finally see that these banana-like apparatus are not to be feared, but cherished. There is yet need for truly ergonomic marsupial-slaughtering devices before we can evolve to the über-beings we deserve to be. Do not judge by appearance alone!

Well i finished the press conferance video

I dont mind the "spiderman" looking font. It looks neat and though it looked familiar, i didnt make the direct connection untill somebody said it.

Im still a little unsure about the games. "GT5" looks so strikingly similar to 4 with the exception of more cars and more people. Needless to say, i wasnt thrilled enough to jump for joy.

There were some washy colors/textures in the new insomniac (i think) game with the aliens vs all the troops. It seems that a lot of people are pushing the numbers a lot more than trying to show the poly count and textural capabilities (warhawk, GT, the insomniac game or w/e etc.)

The new unreal demo looked sexy but im still not sold that both that and the killzone etc demos are real time (playable). Even with the Fight Night 3 "real time" demo, it seemed that these playable games werent really that playable. The demo was obviously scripted (though i do think that the FN3 demo could be real time easily). The realtime demo that caught me was the EYE TOY one with the water and the cups/ etc. That was looking pretty sexy i must say.

The controller pictures of it in real life are making more bearable but the analog sticks should have a center indentation to make them more controllable. Once that grip wears out, theres nothing to keep your thumbs from falling off. I have no real problem with the placement, its just the stick design itself.

Controller design is an aesthetic nightmare and I\'m hoping that it at least feels right in your hands. Not really pleased with any of the designs for anything next gen.  Oh well, guess I\'m not buying them for how they look anyhow.  That\'s if I can afford to buy one.
Wrong. There are two other people who can.

I saw the specs listed a 2.5" detachable HDD. It didnt give a specific size in storage, so is the HDD going to be another add-on? If so, I fucking hate you sony.

There are no memory cards! You need to buy a HDD to save your progress!

The very first batch of Sony analogue pads had indented sticks. They hurted my finger and I had a boo-boo. Bad memories. They weren\'t padded in any way though, maybe technology to realize something as utopistic as "Padded, indented anal. sticks" is dawning upon us!

You guys should definitely watch the video for MGS4. It\'s worth it.

What? You can use memory sticks as storage, can\'t you? That\'s what I read.

It\'s still not much more than an announcement video about who will actually direct and star MGS4.

Very funny stuff though.

I was kind of iffy about someone else doing the MGS series. I\'m just really relieved that Kojima will handle this version.

Even if the killzone2 is fake...

The List of features and future games for the PS3 has made it a done deal in my eyes already..

And this was before MGS4 was confirmed ...with Hideo at the HELM.

besides memorystick support, ps3 has slots for compact flash and SD cards too.  You can get a 128 MB SD card for under 20 bucks.

You\'ll need the PS3 data converter for old save games. Sold seperately though.
