The Playstation 3 shell is shiny and sleek. It was being shown in a tall display case. The controllers used on the games had mini-USB connectors on them which were glued on. The hardware that was actually driving the games was in between the large LCD screens mounted in large racks behind plexiglass. There are some pictures of each of these in this albumn, but it was very dark, so you'll have to squint to see it all.
