Sony puts system on display in Japan.
by Anoop Gantayat

October 3, 2006 - TGS came and went just last week, but it never dies down in Makuhari! Everyone's favorite convention center is now home to CEATEC Japan, an annual electronics and computer show, which kicked off on 10/3 and will continue until 10/7.

While there's usually little overlap between the two events, both the PS3 and Xbox 360 are featured at CEATEC this year. The 360 is in the HD-DVD Promotion Group booth, where it's being shown next to Microsoft's upcoming HD-DVD add-on.

The PS3 has a slightly bigger presence in the Sony and Blu-Ray Disc Association booths. Sony debuted the system's new remote control device that was announced separately today. Also in the Sony booth was a demo kiosk showing Gran Turismo HD footage. That's right, just footage!

Show-goers did have a chance to get some hands-on time with the system, though, as Sony opened up the PS3's interface for all to sample. Most of what was shown at CEATEC was made public at Sony's official PS3 site today (see this story for details). Much of the Cross Media Bar functionality was inaccessible (most notably the game options), but Sony did allow use of the system's web browser.

Japan's Impress Watch provided some impressions of browser use. Using the Six Axis controller (that's the PS3 controller's official name, in case you just woke up), you move a cursor around with the left analogue stick and use the right stick to scroll the screen up and down. Circle is for making selections, with L1 and R1 serving as back and forward buttons. Links can be open in a second window, which lines up next to the current window. The windows can be toggled between using L2 and R2. The site reports that, thanks to the PS3's compatibility with high resolution monitors, webpages are easy to look at when browsing on the PS3.

To see what web browsing looks like on the PS3, check out Impress Watch's article. The two browser pics are located close to the bottom of the page.

Despite today's public showing and the mention at the official PS3 website, much of the PS3 interface is still a mystery. We expect (or are hopeing for, at least) things to clear up as the system's November release approaches.

Nice find mate.

I like the simple rugged looking finish of the remote & the bluetooth is a great welcome.

[indiekid4]

very nice, +rep

[Yo MaMa84]

nice......reppity rep+

[dnpmakkah]

Is the controller different from the console itself? The console looks shiney where as the controller looks like it is made from the same material as PS2. I don't know but I hope not cause that might look wierd side by side.

We should be glad its not shiny otherwise we would end up in the sticky finger situation like the PS3

The remote is nice. I'm actually glad they called the controller Six axis. It;s also great news that the browsers web pages resemble the regular webpages seen from a computer screen.

That's a beautiful Eames chair there also.I hope to get one of those one day.

Man..!! The remote is bluetooth not infrared i like that :-)

[ded5850]

^^What diffrence does bluetooth really make over infrared (just wondering)

[Garfunkel]

that is just so cool, i am glad that they made the remote stylish and sophisticated, and that it is bluetooth sweetens the deal! :( It will look fine amongst my tv remote, settop box remote, vcr remote, dvd player remote, dvd recorder remote, cd player remote, gas fireplace remote......

and that girl is soooo cute

You don't have to point the remote towards the PS3. You could even put the PS3 away. It's more reliable.

[ded5850]

Awesome!

[Garfunkel]

and longer lasting batteries

[agentorange]

I hope the girl is included on the ps3 package Im willing to pay even a thousand bucks for that

[Old_Timer!]
