i personally think that sony is just showing us this ugly controller to get m$ to feel they have the upper hand in controllers.
also someone said something about 256mb of ram not being a lot when everything else is so great. I think that the cell proccessor is going to take on the job of ram. just a guess.
about the ps3 having too much power. i think that sony is going to let u use one ps3 on 2 tv's for multiplayer. so like 3 on one tv and 4 on the other each tv displaying a different team. the power is needed so that the game doesnt get really laggy. like sometimes when u play halo 2 or halo modded with more than 2 people the game starts to lag and have problems.
