The Guys At PSM Get A PS3
Hot on the heels of our story yesterday about one lucky Tokyo retailer getting their mitts on a PS3 test unit for display comes the even more exciting news that the guys and gals over at PlayStation Magazine (PSM) have received a fully functioning totally playable PS3 unit.
“…You can even see the reflection of Motorstorm in the shiny exterior. Good, eh? Finally Rich, Andy, Dave the workie and I got to grips with the lush PS3 for the first time. First impressions? The pads lighter than we anticipated and we were pleasantly surprised by the top-notch feel when controlling the vehicles with the pads motion rather than the sticks. We also got to grips with Resistance: Fall of Man too. The jury’s still out on this one but it looks amazing; like proper next-gen. But it really drew in a crowd of curious gamers. Including some teary-eyed men from an Xbox magazine…”
Lucky devils, not to Sony, if you’re handing them out we’ll gladly take one off your hands for you. It’s interesting to note that they seem to mention controlling Motorstorm with the PS3’s tilt controller, that’s a feature we’d never heard of before and that definitely wasn’t present at E3. Now if you’ll excuse us, I’m off to round up a few QJ staffers to perform a covert raid on the PSM offices.
