Here’s a collection of useful (and useless) PlayStation 3 facts compiled by GamePro — and complimented by our parenthetical remarks:

• Touch-sensitive power and eject buttons are a nice touch – literally (but we prefer handling said activities from the couch, with a remote or controller)
• 15,000 kiosks across the nation by the end of November (you might not be able to score a unit until 2007, but at least your local retailer will have one)
• The PS3 is not just a cheap Blu-ray player (actually, it’s relatively inexpensive)
• Not all games will be 1080p (now that’s an understatement!)
• The Sixaxis controller doesn’t feel too light (we disagree)
• Speaking of which, the Sixaxis motion sensing takes some getting used to. (uh-huh)
• The PSP will connect via Wi-Fi to the PS3’s hard drive (a good reason not to sell your PSP)
• The Sixaxis gets roughly 30 hours of battery life (if true, it blows Microsoft’s Xbox 360 rechargeable — but easily replaced — battery away)
• There’s no „lag” on the wireless Sixaxis controller, either (and there shouldn’t be!)
• The Sixaxis’s wireless range tops out at over 65 feet (20 meters) (how far away do you sit from the TV?)
• A new controller will set you back 50 beans (and there’s no first-party wired alternative)
• Your PlayStation 2 save game files can be transferred to the PS3 (thank goodness! Transferring Xbox saves to 360 is tedious and requires purchasing third-party apps/equipment)
• The Blu-ray disc drive is slot loading, and it works like a dream (yeah, but does it have a paperclip-hole fail-safe?)
• One LED on the PS3 seems dedicated to tracking hard drive activity (so … ?)
• The first 500,000 PS3s will be packaged with a free Blu-ray feature film (but it’s Ferrel’s „Talladega Nights”)
• There’s still a hard „power-off” switch on the back of the system, just like the PS2 (annoying)
• The PS3 is very, very shiny (so keep your greasy paws off it)
• As a whole, the PS3 itself looks incredibly sexy (see previous)
• The PS3 is super quiet (we hope — ’cause the 360 is damned loud!)
• You can plug in a USB keyboard and surf the ‘Net (and a mouse too?)
• The power supply is integrated directly into the system (in other words, there’s no brick to trip over)
• Re-download all your merch to someone else’s PS3 (or better, download a friend’s merch on to your PS3)
• First-party games are priced at $59.99 (so are some of the 360’s — *sigh*)
