Bottom Line:
Sony and nVidia are to co-develop a graphics engine to power graphics cards and entertainment consoles.

The chip will be used in nVidia's GeForce cards which will power forthcoming consumer devices from Sony, almost certainly including the Playstation 3 console.

Does anyone know what the PS3 looks like?

There's 2 new playstations coming out isn't there? The ps3 will be more of a home entertqainment system while the psx wil be pure gaming :P And the ps3 is going to start at about £500 on the shelves. I think the psx has the same software just not the extras.

I've seen pics all over the net about what the PS3 is gonna look like, I wouldn't believe many of them though. Last I heard it's gonna be Spring 2006 before it's released, so I doubt they even have a prototype for it.

The PSP is supposed to be released March 20 something I believe in the US. I want to say March 24, but I'm not positive. I heard they took a few features off of it to lower the price and extend the battery life, so it might not be what it was made out to be from the beginning.
