Okay, obviously I haven’t been covering this thing live, being the non-paid, recreational blogger that I am. I’ll leave that to Joystiq. The stuff you care about is this:
- US $499 for the 20GB model
- US $599 for the 60GB
- Controller looks just like the Dual Shock, but with motion sensing abilities (not sure if it has actual position detection a la Wii)
- US Launch date of November 17th
So, PS3 is playing catch-up with Nintendo and coming in a full $200 dollars more expensive than the cheapest version of the 360. Meanwhile, Microsoft is left in the dust with no motion sensing control. Some actual demos were shown, many being promised as playable at the show. Cool.
Microsoft and Nintendo keynotes tomorrow. I am giddy.
Check out the Joystiq link above for more details.

That’s disappointing. I’m just amazed that so many Sony fanboys kept screaming that the price couldn’t be a over $399 because that would be suicide. I suggested that the price would be $500 and got flamed on my blog.
I hear a noose.
