The pricing announcement

(tags game, hardware, PlayStation 3, controller, failure)

Sony PlayStation 3.

60000 yen, tax not included. Heard it over lunch, and then my first net sighting was via Kotaku.

Okay Gamer Dad, is this expensive enough for you? (Thanks Kotaku)

I bet "open price" means "plus 15000 yen" here in Japan. 75000 yen! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The PS3 controller looks the same as the PS2 controller. What ever happened to those Dual Shock Controller licensing/patent woes?
