Managed to get a go on a PS3 today, at a Target store. There was a demo disk in, with a few games on. I tried the off road racing game, MotorStorm, which you may have seen in the promotional footage for the PS3.
The front end of the PS3 was simple black, with the same menu style as a PSP. I moved the D-PAD around to get to the demo on the machine, and pressed X. The load times seemed a little long, but perhaps it was because there was simply nothing to see on the screen during loading.
The game itself looked great. Everything seemed a little slow, but not in the sense of lacking frame rate. Just an overall sense of slow. The cars bounced around, along what seemed to be a clifftop course, and zinged off into the sky over ramps.
The controller looked just like a standard PS2 one, with an extra shiny button in the center. It did feel a LOT more substantial than previous controllers.
The game was good, although I didn't see anything as yet, which stood out from my Xbox 360 experiences. Sony will have to go some to convince me to get one of their machines too, and I am someone that needs very little persuation on such matters.
