When I first saw the console i was thinking "what the hell is sony thinking" but the black version is looking pretty neat. I really liked the design of the ps2 and this looks nothing similar (not to say something has to look like a ps2 to have a good design).
The controller, on the other hand, im just not getting. I hope that sony isnt kicking themselves in the nads. The ps2 controller IMO was almost perfect. The analog sticks could have had a little bit of work and the controller could be made to be a little more durable but other than that It was my favorite controller this gen.
On the games, im a little scetchy. Ive watched most of the videos and the resolution was obviously fairly low on a couple, some of which seemed oddly pre rendered. Actually i dont fully remember what they look like at this point since when i saw them last night i was on the brink of falling asleep.
The press conference is iffy so far too (only 14 mins in). Sony\'s stiff corporate image compared to the xbox360 team definately hurts them as well as a few things.
