PS3 Has Landed. You Will Obey.


Cue: Triumphant horn music, beams of sunlight from above, angels singing Hallelujah! Sony introduced the forthcoming PS3 at the E3 Expo a couple of days ago. The official release date is Spring 2006 and I can hardly wait. I'm a little so-so about the external design, but the computing power of this monster will put ALL other game consoles to shame (including Xbox 360...Sorry Xbox fans, but you know in your hearts that it is true).

My personal favorite over-the-top feature of the PS3 is the dual-HD outputs. "Since the console has two HD outputs, it is can be hooked up to two side-by-side HDTVs to projecting video in a 32:9 extra-widescreen format (think Cinemascope in your living room)." This can only be feasible for sports superstars who can afford such things, and who will undoubtedly have this setup in the back of their Hummer or Escalade.

Anyway, an excellent rundown of the PS3 specs can be found online HERE and more pictures of the console HERE. You may also view the entire two-hour Sony press conference (link to the spec page above and find the "stream for free" thumbnail for the conference in the text). And yes, I did watch the whole thing. Conclusion? I'll take two please.
