Default PS3 to cost $499.00

That's right the PS3 will cost $499.00 for the 20 gig and $599.00 for the 60 gig.The U.S. realease date is November 17 2006 and the Japan release date is November 10.Heres a link to it from gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/news/6149470.html?q=PS3%20News
I'm really satisfied with the way the PS3 looks its graphics are pretty darn good from what I was seeing and it was on that cheap low resloution crap from gamespot.Gundam was looking awesome,can't wait for it to come out. Also did anyone notice how they were using silver PS2 controllers for the live demos,hope thats the style they keep cause I always thought it was fine the way it was.

P.S= I confirmed this information from E3,I know a guy who went.

I haven't seen it posted anywhere else. What do you guys think? Is 499 or 599 too high?

The $499 version is analogous to the $299 X360: Sure the cheap one will play the games, but you really want the more expensive model. Because to get WiFi and HDMI, you need the $599 model.

Honestly, the thing that made me the happiest about the PS3 unveiling is the controller. Not so much that they stole the Wii's gyroscope thingamajig (I guess Nintendo didn't keep their contoller a secret long enough, they were right that their idea would be stolen!), but that it's not a stupid batarang. It's very close to a good old fashioned Dual Shock, the best controller ever made!

I have had both playstations(used to be a fanboy until the delayed their ps3) and I LOVED the dual shock 2! Since getting the x360, I love that controller much more. It feels much better in my giant palms and the analog triggers are awesome. I think the new sony controller will be great tho.
