Sony's let go of the final specs and shots of the PlayStation 3. Here you go!




 
It will support Blu-ray (obviously), DVD±R/W, CD-R/RW


 
Backwards compatible with the PlayStation 2 and original Playstation


 
One 3.2GHz Cell processor—total system performance rated at 2.18 teraflops (we're looking into this); it will   have 256MB system RAM 3.2GHz, and 256MB GDDR VRAM at 700MHz


 
The nVidia graphics will be called the RSX (”Reality Synthesizer”), and will trump the Xbox 360 with   1080p (yes, that's a p) graphics support.


 
Memory Stick Duo slot, and very surprisingly, an SD and CF slots


 
Bluetooth support with up to seven wireless controllers


 
Six USB system ports

It looks pretty cool and those specs are pretty good too, but wouldn't it need more than 256 mb ram?

I  believe it has a total of 512, 256 for floating point computations and 256 GDDR3 for graphical computations.

With the exception of the controller, this thing is damn sexy, I forsee myself burning a large hole in my pockets when this thing comes out.

I want to be excited, but I just can't be - new consoles don't do it for me.

Gee, why don't you go buy an iPod and a PowerBook and an Xbox 360 and a Porsche Boxter too.  After all, since it has a cool DESIGN on the outside, that must mean it has good games and is made well.   Oh, wait.

I think I will buy one of those controllers though.  I want to go to Africa within the next five years, and boomerangs aren't easy to come by in this century.  I can probably use one of those to kill a few thousand rare birds and monkeys.

I think it looks pretty sleek, but that doesn't guarantee good games or gameplay.  If it plays as good as it looks, we're in for a treat!

WOW I think that is the biggest smart ass comment I have ever seen you make.

It will be like the PS2 95% shit and 5% good stuff. All the games will look great but only 5% will be worth playing.

Has there ever been a system where 95% of the games aren't shit? I think not.
   
Yes the thing looks damn sexy indeed. And there's a rockstar western coming out for it. YES!!!

What, you mean like Dreamcast?  Or maybe Neo Geo?  How about Neo Geo Pocket Color?  Master System?  SNES?  iQue?

And, let's not forget the systems where 99-100% of the games sucked: TRS-80, CD-i, R-Zone, Game.com, Studio II, Virtual Boy, Channel F, Arcadia 2001, and so many more.

have you guys seen the trailer for  killzone2?
i am amazed at how many videos there are out there for PS3 already.

i am also interested in what the 'Cell' can be used in (other electronics).

that controller looks retarded

Man, I just know I'm going to do something stupid like buy all three new systems on thier launch date.  Watching E3 coverage is bad.

Okay mister smarty pants. How bout a list? Show me the percentages of crappy versus good on all the systems ever made and then we'll see.

The PS3 looks amazing and all, especially those tech demos at E3, but personally I'm gonna go for the Revolution as long as its controller isn't too "revolutionary"

I want one...  but man, that thing is even more ugly than the Xbox 360...  It looks like a friggin scanner.  And not a very good looking one at that.  :(
