PlayStation 3 Info

Some details on PlayStation 3:

PSM (Unofficial PlayStation Magazine) claims PlayStation 3 will launch in early November at price of $399 for US, €322 for Europe, and ¥45,965 in Japan (I guess 2999 NIS in Israel).
The magazine also confirms a 60GB (non-removable) hard-drive, backward compatibility of PS2/PS1 titles at 720, 1080i and 1080p.
All games will come in Blu-ray Disc media.
