Look how tiny and cute it is!

Recently, this image surfaced on the Gamestop forums, and eventually lead to several other gaming news sites including Console Junky. Like everyone else, when I first saw pictures of the PS3 and it’s new controller, I thought ‘boomerang’, but no one had yet to see the size of the controller compared to anything else. Well now with this new picture, it looks like thing’s aren’t going to be as bad as we all thought. Sure it may still look like a boomerang, but it doesn’t really look much longer than the PS2 controller. In fact, some parts of the controller look even smaller (am I the only one who thinks those analog sticks look small?). Anyway, while we still have a long time to wait before we can ever get our hands on one of those, I’m sure glad someone else was able to.
Oh, and on a semi-related note, Japan’s Nikkei Electronics publication recently came out with the dimension specs of both the new PS3 and the X-BOX 360. You don’t need to understand Japanese to get the gist of it, but if you do speak Japanese and feel like translating any of it (I’m looking at you emmy or Wako since I’ve been told you not only speak Japanese, but live in Japan) then that would be great!

It’s like a competition to see who can create the biggest console. At least Sony isn’t trying to win the other size competition.
Really, this is getting out of hand. Why can’t all consoles be neat and compact like the GameCube?

okay okay i can’t read the kanji (complicated characters) but i can read the katakana (words without a character word equivalent transferred into jpn phonetically)
so the spec listings at the left are from top to bottom
Microprocessor
Graphics
Something i can’t read
Hard Disk
Interface
something else i can’t read
and for the ps’s at the bottom, the same without hard disk
in general after the M’s and G’s comes “bit” or alternately “bite” so obviously megs and gigs
under interface and for ps2 there’s “PC card slot”
and for ps3 in the same category “memory stick slot” “SD card slot” and “Compact flash slot”
all of which you could have probably figured out yourself
the only thing else i can contribute is something under the 360 that says “composite” but i dunno what comes after it or the category is supposed to be, so its like composite what? :D
