what remote are you talking about? i do not know of any remote for the ps3, but the Wii has a remote and a gamepad.
i just preordered mine from F.Y.E. and i will admit that i am a little hesitant of how things went about. the girl had no clue what she was doing and when the manager came, he could not or i should say would not tell me how many people preordered ahead of me. all they said was "keep my receipt and we'll call you." i will probably get another reservation with gamestop. i'd say gamestop and EB are your better bets for preordering. part of the reasoning behind these companies holding off, is so they can get a better assessment of how many units they will actually be receiving per store....so when you reserve one, they should be able to atleast give you a fairly reasonable idea of what number in the preorder chain you are, along with how many of each package they will receive. so basically you should know when you leave the store if your on the first/second/third shipments....

this isnt pure confirmation, but it makes sense that both models will come with wireless controllers. when you scroll down to "communication" it says bluetooth 2.0(EDR) and then Controller Wireless (bluetooth).

i think they will both have wireless controllers, but its not offical. this may be what you were hearing about a "remote" for the ps3, here is a link supporting the psp as a remote for the ps3.

Blu-ray is the next-generation digital video disc. It can record, store and play back high-definition video and digital audio, as well as computer data. The advantage to Blu-ray is the sheer amount of information it can hold:
A single-layer Blu-ray disc, which is roughly the same size as a DVD, can hold up to 27 GB of data -- that's more than two hours of high-definition video or about 13 hours of standard video.
A double-layer Blu-ray disc can store up to 50 GB, enough to hold about 4.5 hours of high-definition video or more than 20 hours of standard video. And there are even plans in the works to develop a disc with twice that amount of storage.

@ZippyDSM:
I've had the HD-A1 HD-DVD player from Toshiba for a few days now and it has no trouble playing DVD's and Audio CD's. It actually does an excellent job of upconverting regular DVD's to 1080i - even better than my Denon DVD player which costs twice as much.
Current HD-DVD releases are dual layer 30GB discs. BluRay still has to come up with dual layer releases.
Just my 2 cents.

i had the magazine where they reviewed the HD-DVD player, this is the brief side of things. i also posted on here somewhere this info. basically from what i have seen and read, the player is OK. nothing great, but certainly not all bad. its the first of its kind so some of these cons mentioned are to be expected. im sure things will change in time....
PROS:
1. HD-DVD at times easily offers the finest home-theater experience we've had.
2. There's an Ethernet jack on the back so you can connect it to the Internet and download firmware upgrades or access online content to supplement titles
3. The HD DVD menu system is outstanding
4. cheaper than Blu-ray players
CONS:
1. Expensive(in general)
2. Limited selection of HD DVDs
3. No 1080p output (surprising, consider the movies carry 1080p)
4. Excruciatingly slow start-up. Takes 45 seconds to load an HD DVD
5. Frustrating remote-control layout. No lights/backlights on remote-control buttons.
6. Numerous image artifacts during 720p output.

I watched 2 HD-DVD rentals from Netflix last night. They had scratches typical for any Netflix disc but they played through without a hitch.

Actually I went to my local f.y.e. to preorder a 60Gig PS3 and i got a $699 price for the 60 and $599 for the other although fye could be scimming a little because they are expensive on everything else but EB Games won't start pre-orders till October. and 1 key point BUY THE 60GIG It has bluetooth, better HDTV, wireless, and dual gigabit among other things that according to both Sony (in small print) and the manager at EB the cheaper 1 dosn't have.

Ya Your right they do I was just doing the specs off the top of my head, but i like the fact that theyre using BT controllers because you won't get interference with wireless routers. One thing I have noticed that I found interesting is the fact that they are using 2.5"(laptop) SATA drives which I havn't seen for sale anywheres yet.

I have no dout when the PS3 launchs the specs will magcily change some,as for model changes the PS3 changed litte Versions 1-7 was it had the Japan USB port with the 2 normal Ports but everythign else stayed the same altho chipset alterations amke USB equipment compatabilty fun soemtimes (the PS2 slim models are a pain with some usb stuf version 12+)
I think the PS2 is currently at 14 Versions and 2 "models".
ompabilty of aprts between the versions is even more obsurce ><

yup, the PS3 is going to be one hell of a beast. Sony always raises the bar even higher every generation even when people doughted that games could be on dvds sony proved them wrong and they may do it again with blue ray. This is one reason why I love Sony.
Im defiantely seeing a pattern here:
playstation- CD's
Playstation 2- DVD's
Playstation 3- blue ray disk
Playstation 4- even though its to early Ive seen reports that sony will no longer use disk formats, instead theyll use a "physical harddrive". Youll no longer have to got to the store to buy games, instead you can download full games onto the harddrive including episodic content.
playstation 5- N/A yeah right, its not going to be around for about 15 to 20 years, how should I know.
Playstat..... never mind. you get the picture sony always goes beyond, and I cant wait for the PS3.
Peace Out!
