they look like crap, but it may be a HD monitor, but they were taken with a still camera, so that may make them look like crap too.Either way the picture quality is poor.

More PlayStation 3s coming soon: Sony
More PlayStation 3s coming soon: Sony
Sony says more of its PlayStation 3 video game consoles are on the way after the initial shipment sold out on Friday, the first day it was available in North America.
"We are getting a second shipment next week, probably around the middle of next week," Matt Levitan , marketing and public relations manager for Sony Computer Entertainment of Canada, told CBC News Online on Friday. "We'll know by Monday or Tuesday when they will be available.
"We are flying in shipments from Japan and China, and will probably ship them directly to retail" instead of to Sony's warehouses, he said.
Levitan expects four or five shipments before the end of the calendar year, estimating each batch will be the equivalent of a quarter of the units available at launch.
He would not cite specific figures, but Sony had previously said 400,000 units should be available in North America on Friday. Canada traditionally receives about 10 per cent of product allocations for the continent, which would mean about 40,000 PS3s were destined for Canada.
But on Thursday night, Levitan told CBC News Online that the percentage of consoles in Canada was closer to eight per cent of the North American total – an estimated 32,000 if the full shipment arrived on time.
