PS3 first impression

Of course it was all too good to be true. The playable PS3 titles shown at today's event looked no better than Xbox 360 and you could hear a thousand gamer hearts break in the audience. Yes, there were some highlights - Heavenly Sword's glorious animations and Eye of Judgements eyetoy style monster card game - but expectations were so high that the impressive, but familiar if you have a 360, graphical reality meant it was hard to hide disappointment. The wow-factor so evident last year was nowhere to be found this. Main announcements:
Launching Nov 17th in Europe and US (week before Japan)
20gb version (499euro) 60gb (599euro)
Controller is traditional PS Dualshock pad with bells on, including motion sensitivity.

Full impressions to follow later.
