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.
