It's just been confirmed that the PS3 will have a detachable hard drive, six USB ports, a memory stick slot, and seven bluetooth wireless controllers.

Kaz Hirai has taken the stage, beginning his speech with "190 million PS2s sold. 2 billion software sales" Hirai then began speaking about PlayStation 3... It features the CELL processor as previously reported, and also features a Blu-Ray Disk drive, running at 6x. Backwards compatibility with both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games has also just been confirmed. Hirai also stated that PlayStation 3 runs at twice the speed of Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 console is capable of reaching 10 Terraflops of processing information.

Sounds too good to be true, Hopfully there wont be any issues Like The Ps2 with its problems of Not Reading Games After a Amount of time, and the psp with its dead pixes issues.

Oh dear... Sony jumped right on the "fuzzy math" bandwagon.

2 TFLOPs, if you count non-IEEE compliant, single-precision FLOPS. If you do an apples to apples comparison the Xbox 360 will trounce it.

2.18 teraflops sounds more like it and ties in with the twice as fast as Xbox 360 statement (360 = 1 teraflop). 10 teraflops sounded rather far fetched.

I think it will be the added multimedia features that mkae the most difference in the PS3 vs 360 race, as their specs are in actuality relatively similar.
