Sony corp, the world's largest maker of video-game systems, will finally unveil its next console, PS3 (PlayStation 3) today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Sony is looking to smash Microsoft's run with the Xbox 360. The PS3's special features include Blu-ray (Sony's new technology for playing high-definition DVDs), wireless internet connections, and a new Cell Chip. I'm hearing the Cell Chip is very new technology and makes the system about 35 times faster than the PlayStation 2 and will display details such as how a light reflects in a character's eye, or strands of hair moving after a gust of wind.

These dudes over at Sony are going to have a hard time getting me to stop playing this Call Of Duty 2:Live for Xbox360. First they said it would come out in March, now they're saying November. It might be worth a try though. They're predicting the console to sell for $499, but I've heard of upto $600. Sony also will be releasing the PS3 in three different colors, Silver, White, and Black.
