Theres a bit of a debate over how a company could utilise the extra power - more realistic physics etc, etc, but nothing with a huge impact on games has been mentioned so far (not in the same way that the PS allowed new types of 3D games in the home). Personally, I keep wanting the PS2 equivalent of the Sega Master Systems 3D glasses. They worked, and I want an affordable, non intrusive way for 3D in a game. Its the last dimension left not used by games :( Rob
