Sony has trademarked the upcoming Playstation 3 controller as "P oo S".
The two 'oo' 's are supposed to be a representation of the dual analog sticks, much like the idea of two 'ii' 's for the Nintendo Wii, for "we".

In an interview with PC Watch, a japanese software/ hardware news site , Ken Kutaragi of Sony Japan revealed plans for a Higher End PS3 in the future.
Here are some other bits from Interview
- games on PS3 are running on the PS3 with "basic configuration"
- software will have different relationship with hardware (including non-gaming applications) in the future
- software module will be made inside the PS3 (such as OS?) so PS3 will have no problem adopting new hardware parts (this doesn't mean you can upgrade but just different versions of PS3)
- thus two models of PS3 are actually two different configurations, there might be other configurations in future, such as: enhanced version of CELL, more memory etc. The higher-end model of PS3 might be released in future.

According to reghardware UK, British gamers may only be offered the 60GB version of Sony's PlayStation 3, a senior company official has suggested.
In an interview with UK games industry weekly MCV, Sony Computer Entertainment's UK operation, Ray Maguire said: "The lower-end, 20GB version of [the] PlayStation 3 has no Wi-Fi, no HDMI and none of the other slots in it, so it's really a question of where we would position it. It's more likely that we will only launch the 60GB version."
"We have time to watch the yen and be flexible, but that 60GB version looks like £425 in the UK at the moment," Macguire told MCV. "High trade margins in the UK are likely to see it come in with that kind of street price, though it's ultimately up to retailers."
