That's the demo for the PS3 at this year's E3. PSM magazine have pictures of it in their latest issue.

I wonder how the profiles/accounts will work?
On the 360 you can have as many profiles as you want but each individual profile has to have its own account for online. So you can have one at Gold and one at Silver. But for the other to be Gold they have to pay the subscription to be upgraded from Silver. Now if online is free on the PS3 that should'nt be a problem and is positively wonderful compared to Microsofts method of forcing each individual to pay to play online at one address. However, when you download game content onto the 360 it's shared amongst all the profiles be they Gold or Silver. Thats certainly the case in games like PGR3 and Oblivion.
The question is will that be the same for the PS3? If they have downloads for weapons, cars etc in a game will it be for all profiles or just one? Is this where the rumoured "Entitlements" come in? Any thoughts?

Well, Sony is a little crazy about going after our money as it is, so with an expensive burden like the PS3, Sony might feel the need to squeeze even more money from us in every conceivable way. We're extremely lucky to have a chance at free network access. If the pay accounts - if they exist anyway - are advantageous, I may well spring for one.

PS3 = Internal power supply (no power brick) and TONS of airflow space (meaning a cooler console temp wise).

It's not so bad. The XBOX 360 is about the same size of the PS2. I find the PS2 quite small.
People shouldn't critic about the size of the PS3, though I found that funny that people says that the XBOX 360 is huge.
There's one problem with the XBOX 360. The Power Supply is not sold on the market. So if the PSU broke, you have to call the company. This is just stupid.

That picture is not accurate, the PS3 isn't that big. Look at the size difference on the disk drives, the PS2 disk drive is 20% wider than the XB360's, indicating that the picture of the PS3 itself is roughly 20% bigger in scale to the XB360 picture.
That said, even if the PS3 was that big, so what.

[PS3] See the next-gen consoles side-by-side for the first time!
Words: Matt Cundy
We've got a PS3 - and here it is rubbing shoulders with Xbox 360 for the first time ever!
Created by Sony as an accurately proportioned replica, the PS3 model may be made entirely from wood, but it takes more than a cursory glance to realise that it's not the genuine article and gave us a good impression of what the Sony powerhouse will look like nestling next to our TV.
The unit is certainly big, although not drastically bigger than an Xbox 360. Positioned vertically side-by-side, the PS3 stands about an inch taller than its rival, while laying the two down horizontally shows that - at its highest point - PS3's convex curve makes PS3 about an inch fatter.
It's not the most beautiful looking beast, either. The underside is "stacked" with a couple of different sized layers and the overhanging midriff gives the unit a slightly awkward, uncomfortable look. But, hey, PS2 was never going to win any beauty contests either.
So, it's no stunner, but that's never been an issue with consoles in the past. Hopefully, when PS3 finally arrives in November we'll be so blown away with killer games that we won't be concerned with the machines curves, lines and overall aesthetic merit.

I'm amazed the PS3 isn't bigger due to it having an internal PSU. The PS3 may indeed have better airflow than the 360 but I've not had any trouble with my 360, and I've had it on for 24hrs non-stop!
The only thing that worries me about the PS3 hardware (and I'm not talking about the CPU, chipset etc) is the slot drive. How many people are going to ram a disc in and bugger it up and then blame the machine? Hopefully people will have some sense, but you know there'll be some that won't.
Anyway, as hardware goes (and I mean the way it's put together) it's very impressive. Unless, of course, there are loads of malfunctions at launch (there'll be some and I'm sure everyone will hear about them as we did the 360's malfunctions at launch). I even prefer how it looks. Reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I think it's supposed to be a replica made of wood. But from Sony? Or some woodwork student?

Your right it's just the angle on that first pic, the PS3 is more in focus and nearer the camera so it looks bigger. The best pic in thoes you posted just now is the last one (bottom right) and you can see that the PS3 isn't much bigger than the XB360. As other people have said before though, a lot were expecting it to be bigger than it is, the internal power supply alone would have indicted that. Sony have done a great job getting it all in there.ok, so it's a photoshop

these are the official sizes of the playstation 3, 9.8 cm × 32.5 cm × 27.4 cm (3.9 in. × 12.8 in. × 10.8 in
and these are the official sizes of the xbox 360 are 29.5 x 25.8 x 8.3 cm (12.16 x 10.15 x 3.27 in) and so as you can see the playstation 3 is only
1.5 cm wider and 2 cm taller and deeper(from front to back i cant remember if its called depth)
doesnt the playstation 2 have an internal power supply?

The original did. Only the newer "slim" PS2 has an external PSU.
