    You know why apple outsells these guys? they don't make these shitty 90s-like videos anymore

    Jokes aside, heres the thing:

    5" HD (like the iphone4) OLED screen
    Awesome CPU (according to sony)
    Propietary flash media so it can't be pirated (yeah right...)
    Sub-PS3-level graphics (but not that far really)
    Back touchpad and a touchscreen, don't know if it's multitouch (it better not be a piece of shit resistive...)
    Two cameras, for augmented reality and junk.
    3G, so telcos can rape kids too young to have cellphones too.
    Bunch of dumb features nobody will use but they have to add them because even my toaster comes with that shit today...

    EDIT: here's the official specs:

    • CPU: ARM® Cortex™-A9 core (4 core)
    • GPU: SGX543MP4+
    • RAM: TBD
    • Storage: Unidentified "new media" for games, on-board Flash storage
    • Display: 5 inches (16:9), 960 x 544, Approx. 16 million colors, OLED
    • Wireless: 3G, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (A2DP/AVRCP/HSP), WiFi IEEE 802.11b/g/n
    • Inputs: Multi-touch screen and multi-touch-sensitive back panel, D-pad, L/R shoulder buttons, standard PlayStation buttons


    Out for xmas 2011, no word on price yet


    Now a bunch of pics from WiP games, just like those GTmobile videos we saw back in 04........and got the game in what, last year?

    Yet IMO it's looks 10x better than the 3DS...

    Damn, I do like the overall look. Not sure about the touch pads though

    Yeah but that was a cutscene at 20FPS.

    Impressive, but theres no way actual games will be that detailed.

    Looks fantastic, I'm preordering as soon as they become available. The unit itself looks ok but the screen/hardware/analog sticks make up for it. And look at that Yakuza screenshot!

    Unless they spend an assload of time optimizing it.
    Then i'm sure that could probably change

    how much? like $700?
    That is what the motorolla tablet is going to sell for.

    They keep wanting more and more for this shit.
    I simply CANNOT give that much of my resources for something that only i will play... family and all.

    Purchase is out of question until it's $280 or less.

    HOTDAMN thats a good looking console. Well done Sony, I will be buying this over the 3DS no matter the pricepoint. I really do hope its under $300 though..

    I would imagine the chances of this being under $300 are pretty slim.

    I almost felt a PS "slim" pun there, but couldn't find it.

    Xmas?? Was hoping this would be out a lot sooner.

    I want it, I'm not sure about all of the touch/3G and camera crap but as a straightforward console it looks awesome.

    BUT...why can't sony give in and rest the analogue sticks under the thumb and put the d-pad as the secondary input. I find it so awkward.

    Same here, 15 mins of using the PSP's nub kills my thumb.

    Well it certainly looks very nice. I'm getting an iPhone4 feeling when I see it from the front and side. It also looks like Sony have managed to harness the power of magical unicorns as there's a white one in the videos.

    The real question now is the price.

    quit your bitching some of you. It's most likely going to be $300.

    I'm interested in the 3G aspect of it. So does this mean there's a SIM slot somewhere and I can pair a bluetooth headset with it? If this could replace the shitty 20 quid phone from 3 that I use for work, that would be awesome.

    That Uncharted demo is amazing, I wonder if it will look that good once AI and everything else is running.
