You cant rush something like the manufacturing process. 2. Looks like a George Forman Grill 3. Controller is bad 4. Hard to develop for, first games will only not be Next Gen for a couple of yrs 5. Made in China, last time they screwed up and had 4mill defective PS2's 6. expensive, thought to be $600 when out. "not for the regular house hold" Ken Kutaragi. 7. Cheap Graphics card, it's only a hyped version of a PC Nvidia card...... :P 8. Cell is BUggy, great PC core but not for games 9. Will over Heat, internal power supply will spark fires after 4-6 hrs of operation 10. Lens will have trouble with ps1,ps2,dvd's, Cd's, Blue ray disc movies and ps3 games. Its too much of a load for any system and if it does work the whole thing will be a slow performer and vulnerable to crashes. Might be easier but more expensive to have 2 lenses and work with emulators. As you can see the PS3 sounds wonderfull, but along the lines with all the bugs in the Cell processor i think sony might be forced into letting go the ps1 compatibility. Think about it all the bugs from ps1, ps2, and now ps3 will be concentrated in one machine. It's true they were all Playstations but each one has its own challenges and now will clash into one giant BUG. 10 Things i hate about the PS3

1. late for spring release and if it makes it they will be defective. You cant rush something like the manufacturing process.
2. Looks like a George Forman Grill
3. Controller is bad
4. Hard to develop for, first games will only not be Next Gen for a couple of yrs
5. Made in China, last time they screwed up and had 4mill defective PS2’s
6. expensive, thought to be $600 when out. “not for the regular house hold” Ken Kutaragi.
7. Cheap Graphics card, it’s only a hyped version of a PC Nvidia card…… :P
8. Cell is BUggy, great PC core but not for games
9. Will over Heat, internal power supply will spark fires after 4-6 hrs of operation
10. Lens will have trouble with ps1,ps2,dvd’s, Cd’s, Blue ray disc movies and ps3 games. Its too much of a load for any system and if it does work the whole thing will be a slow performer and vulnerable to crashes. Might be easier but more expensive to have 2 lenses and work with emulators.

In the near future, new wireless technology protocal - 802.11n - is scheduled to be introduced. With the X360, should you desire to implement 802.11n, its a simply matter of adding an adapter (assuming one is released). With the PS3, u don't have that option but I guess its possible to use one of its 50 USB ports but then you'll have an outdated 802.11b/g inards with no use. Its a trade off I guess.

We don’t know its launch date or territories yet But at least that's a known unknown, a thing that we know we don't know. There are also unknown unknowns, things we don't know we don't know...

But at least that’s a known unknown, a thing that we know we don’t know. There are also unknown unknowns, things we don’t know we don’t know…

Portability doesn't really matter to me. My memory cards never leave my PS2.

(media card) I'm happy that Sony didn't go with solely thier memory card and opted for 2 other formats! (cheaper) as far as saved games go, wouldn’t you want your saved games to be portable?

My prediction is that there will be some USB device that can read PS1/2 memory cards and is also an adapter for PS1/2 controller. I don’t expect number 4 to be a real problem.

Yup, the Xbox 360 wireless adapter does support 802.11a, which is great. As to a centralized on-line service, I coulda put that on there, but then it wouldn't have been <strong>my</strong> list. Because I don't really care. Good point Hiro. Yup, the Xbox 360 wireless adapter does support 802.11a, which is great.
