PS-weeeee!
So while Kotaku was posting about little hot dogs, and Gizmodo was posting about Kotaku posting about little hot dogs, the French (all of them) were busy giving us the real shit about the PS3.
What they’re telling us — in their bourgeois Frenchy-pants accents — is that the PS3 is pretty spiffy. Three Cell processors (someone said each is dual-core. Seriously?); Memory Stick Duo and CF card slots; as many FLOPS as you can handle, bro; and a horrifying fuck-ton of ports.
I never really had any doubts that the PS3 would be capable of rendering illusory worlds of cock-punching detail in real time, and the specs seem to bear that out. I was more concerned with how our new god would look, having been irrationally turned off by the hotel air conditioner that was the PS2. But I’m pleased with the PS3’s look. It’s suitably futury without being stupidly I Robot-y. Hell, maybe I’ll pick up a white one to go with my Xbox 360.

The hardware is pretty sexy, but what’s with that controller? I feel like I should throw it at a wallaby in Australia. Not to mention that it looks like essentially the same Dual Shock we’ve been using for seven-odd years.
True ‘nuff. Looks like some awful PC controllers I’ve used. MS proved with the Duke that our benevolent console makers don’t always know what they’re doing.
