PS3 controller and price

LOL : People love playin damage control for MS..PS3 is a far better console than 360 will ever be.360 buyer are mad because they bought a shell of a system.No HD-DVD drive you got to buy that.With the 20g hard it has,it really have 13g of room because of all the junk MS put on the Hard-Drive.

 

well personally i will never buy a hd dvd or a blue ray player for at least another 3 years. some company have partnered up with M$ to make this thing which will not cost much but basiclly you put it between your hard drive and xbox 360 and if your hard drive becomes full then you just put it onto that thing which you then hook up to the pc and then put everything thing on your pc, i know its not as good as having a 60G harddrive but think of it this way it an endless suppply of spcae, unless you do not have a pc.

 

$100 bucks is a lot for an extra 40G, should be able to put on in yourself for cheaper.

also $600 is a hell of a lot for this thing. If Blu-Ray does not become the norm, then people that buy this thing will be getting screwed like all the BETAMAX owners back in the day.

You are talking almost $800 bucks with a couple games.

Unless I see something HUGE come from Sony in the next few days, I'm starting to think they may be in trouble. And I HATE MS!!!

 

I thought the new controller shape was pretty cool

 

the new one looked so cool!!! it looked easy to use. I don't understand why people complain or changed it.

 

The reason, they changed it was it was getting criticised way too much, and the pressure got to them...

The reason they had that controller in the 1st place was because they wanted a more ERGONOMICAL shape, its easier to hold, and more comfortable(i'm not sure WHERE i heard that, but I'm SURE that i heard it, ill try n find a link..)

 

@rihgt682 what the f**k, it looked like a boomerang. it looked hideous.

 

well i have to agree with rihgt on that one, it was different and for people with larger hands it was just like packman said, "more ERGONOMICAL shape,its easier to hold, and more comfortable." i may be the minority but its a damn controller, and i'd rather have something that is comfortable.

That controll definately looked stupid by that last picture. Sony would have lost the war to Microsoft had they issued thatone. Dual Shock 2 rules. Why mess with perfection

 

so your telling me that games have no influence on the outcome of consoles...atleast be realistic.

 

Does anyone think that the motion sensor thing, will interfere with some games. Cause people naturally move around when they play, so for sport games, when you wave the controller, will the players move?
Or will it only be compatible for SOME games, like first person shooters, and Fighter Pilot games? If it affects the gameplay on sports games, then it will be quite a -.

 

as far as i know the motion sensor as of now is only incorporated in a few games, and for all we know maybe you can even disable it if you want.

 

with all this talk about motion sensor, its too bad that sony or someone hasnt come out and said there is going to be an adapter that would allow you to hook up your ps2 controller to the ps3. i mean we could do that with the ps2 because the ports were the same, but we couldnt use them on our newer games becuase they used the analog functions that werent on my original ps controllers. so i guess im just wondering if this is too farfetched??? or if it is plausible then boy would it shoot down the motion sensor talk.

 

i'm upset cause i heard the controller was VERY light but i like the controllers heavy if they are to light the feel cheap.

 

They're supposedly a lotlighter than the DualShock2. The reason is that they got rid of the rumble feedback. Apparently it takes a little getting used to but after a few times playing with it, you hardly notice it.

 

i have a few points
the boomerang looked huge and bad, felt good dont know how heavy it was
the "dual shake" is the classic shape and is very light
i dont know about you guys but i would hate to be flinging around a heavy controller

this might have been a rumor but it said that
not all games will use the x-y-z and for some games it will be possable to turn off

 

Being able to turn it off is great. Does anyone know when Pre-Orders are starting?

 

diffrent companies release at diffrent times
so far
Gamestop and EB are not
most Game X Crazy's are done
