Yo, that's a bad controller. Mainyl cause I'll have the urge to fling it around like a boomerang.

Apprentice 05-17-2005 12:42 AM

Yay for wireless controllers!

I like the new controller, and hate the old ones. Hopefully, this one is a lot stronger. My problem with the old ones is that they feel too small, and feel really flimsy. It's why I like the type-s controller on the x-box.. It feels sturdy, and it's just the right size.

With all the bluetooth and USB connectivity, I wonder if you'll be able to use the Xbox 360 controllers on the PS3 and vice versa. Could be pretty nice.

You might not like the Xbox 360 then. They made it smaller and lighter.

It still has the same general shape though. The PS2 controller is just shaped weird... But oh well... I can already say, if that is the real PS3, it looks so much sweeter than the Xbox 360.

Dont think so. The 360 and Nintendo ones are RF based where the PS3 ones are bluetooth

Oh yeah, heres a shot of the first game not involved in Sonys hype machine (EG their own conference) so I would believe that this is more represetative of the graphics:

Looks hot to me stop your pussy controller complaints.

Hitman84 05-17-2005 04:02 AM

The new console itself looks great, but tbh I like the existing controller. I'm not saying they shouldn't develop new ones, but I think it'd be sweet if there were the option to use either/or. I mean, have the new IR/Bluetooth controllers, sure, but also put some jacks on the front so people who have upgraded from PS2 can use their old controllers if they prefer.

TheNamelessOne 05-17-2005 06:09 AM

Even uglier than the Xbox 360.

I say that like the looks of a console actually matter.

Backwards compatability = the goods.

Microsoft better throw that it or they'l get left in the dust again.

TheNamelessOne 05-17-2005 06:44 AM

Even Nintendo are throwing in backwards compatibility with the Revolution, for Microsoft to completely ignore it would be stupid.

Whats even more stupid is that if they decided not to have backwards compatibility despite the fact that the Xbox 360 can more than handle any Xbox game on it.

Revolution is going to have a FREE online service similar to XBox Live, also:

Nintendo also revealed that using Revolution's new Wi-Fi connection, gamers would be able to go online to a free gamer-matching service. Interestingly, in a move similar to Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service, Revolution users will be able to download classic and new Nintendo games over the Internet. Nintendo cited such examples as Donkey Kong and Super Mario Sunshine, which suggests that Revolutionaries could have access to games for all the publisher's previous consoles.

If you can play Sunshine over it, you can bet n64 games will be on it
Also, heres official nintendo shots of Revolution:

Hot looking

Ninti the Mad 05-17-2005 01:41 PM

This is the first time I've wanted all the new systems. :love:

The air is magnificent today.

I love E3.

If they only played it on Sportscenter. :shifty:

#BROKEN Hasney 05-17-2005 04:08 PM

I seen this over at omlette.net. i take it they don't like the look of the PS3

Definitely shaping up to make for a difficult decision. I'm interested to see how the price of each system plays out, as that will largely play a role in my decision, personally. I have all three systems right now, I used to be big on my PS2 but have since favored my XBox. I don't know which one I would want to go with this time around.

May 17, 2005 - According a an article published in the May 17th edition of Japan's Mainichi Shimbun, the PlayStation 3 could be one of the most expensive mass-market videogame consoles ever created. Officials from Sony apparently told the newspaper that PlayStation 3s would sell in Japan for "less than 50,000 yen each." That translates to about $465 US dollars.
Before you all cry, one has to consider that it'll be able to play PS1 and PS2 games, CDs, DVDs, as well as the upcoming Blue-Ray discs. For that kind of versatility, $465 is a pretty decent price. I still think people will still eat the system up like candy.

Well, Nintendo has gone on record in saying that it'll be a pay service (to download NES, SNES, and N64 games), but yeah. You will be able to play NES, SNES, N64, as well as Gamecube games on the Revolution. That makes me believe that there'll be some kind of storage device to hold all these games. O_o

#BROKEN Hasney 05-18-2005 03:04 PM

I don't see that price happening. if the 360 and Revolution are out already and selling WELL, then I would think the price point would kill the PS3

$465 is definitely steep. I figure with another controller and a game probably run me about $550. Going to start saving mad early, little bit every week. Gonna be great.
