SONY today launched the PS3 and will be available by November of this year. The specs are fascinating but the price is disappointing. It will come in two varieties, one with a 60GB HDD and another with a measley 20GB HDD. The "cheaper" one lacks Wi-Fi, a memory card reader and HDMI out, ouch! Prices would be $600 for the "complete" version while $500 for the "cheaper" version. SONY decided to change the "boomerang" controller and stayed with the "old" playstation controller design with some upgrades such as: X,Y,Z, pitch, roll, yaw and lateral motion detection, Bluetooth for wireless capabilities. Unfortunately, it will not have the "force-feedback" or vibration functionality seen in the Dual Shock controllers due to some "interference" with the motion sensors.
