no rumble?! hmmm, i think that was a bad choice

Nah, i bet you anything with the Tilt control stuff in there they had no room, and now the feature of it being light as they kept saying is becuase there is no rumble pack in there to give it the heavy feel anymore.
Very transparent of them.

Here it is:

I would imagine that is for charging it or a wired connection.  No more unique ports to the console.

i do believe if microshaft play their cards right they can sink sony on this one

Wow, Sony have just nailed their own coffin. Ripping off the tilt control from Nintendos add-on bit of the controller (cant detect position, only movement) and, by the look of the guy playing Warhawk, not very well. Losing the exclusive window to GTA. And the price! For the non-crippled version at ?600 that equates to £410. But being the UK that will most likely be £429.99 or maybe even £449.99, just to round it off. Lets assume thats for a single controller, add maybe another £30-£50 for a second one and a couple of games and suddely youre looking at shelling out £550 to £600 for a games console. People will refuse to pay that much themselves and parents may be telling little Jimmy that Santa couldnt get a PS3 because he was just too naughty.

As for the rumble, MS and Nintendo both licensed Immersions tech for the rumble and then bought part of the company. Sony went to court, lost, were forced to pay over $90million and STILL cant use a rumble feature.

I dont understand your point Serious, that £341 is what it will be if exchange rate applies.  If it actually was that price they would have already stated it.  Sony UK representive said price for top one may be £425...  thats not the exchange rate conversion of ?599 or $599

Final pricing in the UK has not been set, but the top model would probably retail at about £425, said Ray MacGuire, of Sony UK.

BTW, I hope everyone has noticed the Playstation button on the middle of the controller.  Quite reminiscent of the Guide button on a 360 controller, dont you think?

What is Sony themselves actually bringing to next gen that they havent stolen from Nintendo and MS?  Blueray.  Anything else?  

Notice a distinct lack of dual HDMI outputs on the top PS3, so no dual outputs as previously stated.

And NO HDMI on the base model. Or wireless. So that will be a £350 console that you wont even be able to use to play Bluray movies.

£399 minimum, £425 is the most common said figure

Indeed, a brandname has the power to sell something alone.  Remebers the queues for the PSP.
