No, I have no pictures of the PS3, nor do I have any news (other than the links supplied below), but when I [or you] do, be sure to post them here. In the meantime, enjoy these aforementioned links:

-IGN's PS3 universe
-PS3 Portal
-theunofficialplaystation3weblog -- RSS (not sure if "feed://" prefix works for other RSS readers, but it sure works on Safari RSS)
-PS3 Gamers

Those are all the websites I've seen that are worth seeing on the matter. Feel free to post any other <preferably good> ones

There is speculation that Sony will unveil their PS3 at E3.

As long as the controllers are the same, I'm happy.

Those concept images are awesome. To the extreme.

Wow, how did you know? ;)

I thought the tower idea was kinda weird. I like the first on the best.

I have to admit, that does look pretty frikkin' awesome.

But then I thought the Dreamcast was awesome, so who knows?

I'll probably end up getting it two years after its release like I did for the PS2.

Yeah, it'll only get delayed for fourteen years.

How much more realistic can they possibly make that series? It's already amazing on PS2.

A much better article on the subject, courtesy of engadget.

Wow. 2.18 Teraflops -- twice the processor speed of the 360, and better graphics alltogether. Wow.

The screens for the new Killzone look mind-blowing.

I'm still fascinated by the LoD technology (Lots of Ducks) displayed during E3.

It was in USA Today... today.

It's all rounded at the top and has a bunch of cool things that I can't either pronounce or spell.

All I could think of was "That has to be a cutscene", but when the guy started firing and moving around... holy crap. The only thing that even comes CLOSE to action like that is the action cut-scenes in Halo 2. You know, where you can't do anything?

I'm still not convinced that it's not pre-rendered. I will be really, really impressed if that's actual real-time gameplay. I'm not saying it's not, I'm just saying my brain isn't prepared to deal with that just now.

Oh man. Oh man. Un-frickin-believable.

The first part, where they're landing is a cutscene, I think. It has to be. The rest of it...I don't know. It looked like real gameplay.

I think I may have to pawn off my Xbox and PS2. Is the PS3 backward-compatible? I assume it is.

Considering that the computer I'm on right now (Powerbook G4) is a 306.28 MFLOP (10^6 floating point calculations per second), and the PS3 is a 2.18 TFLOP (10^12 floating point calculations per second), anything is possible.

Yup, it's backwards compatible to the PS1 and PS2.

Okay there's some controversy over this game on the Insomniac Games forum. Mostly because it's a gory game made by a company who made games like Spyro And Ratchet and Clank. So a lot of the members may not buy the game.
