PS3 Pricing and Controller -- 11:08 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

IGN (amongst others) got news on the cost of the PS3 and the PS3's newly designed controller. The PS3 will come in two versions: one with a 20G hard drive for $499 and one with a 60G hard drive for $599. There is some speculation that other features may be missing from the 20G version. The controller looks much like the PS2 controller, except it can also sense the pitch, roll, and yaw of the controller, so you can control things by spinning or shaking the controller itself. It does not have a rumble feature.

That's pretty pricy for a console, but when you consider what a high-end video card costs these days . . . Naturally I will be waiting until at least the first price drop so that a) they will be cheaper, and b) the initial bugs will be worked out.
