That rumor came up because some idiot thought no Wifi meant no wireless controllers.
Why anyone even thought it was true for a second is beyond me. But yeah, the upgradeable harddrive sounds nice. |

What's really funny is that people seem to think that the PS3 won't sell just because it has a ridiculous price tag. |

Impression and presentation of PlayStation 3 Controller.
So basically, the fact that they've used the SAME design as the PS/PS2 controller, slapped the wireless side of it which the Gamecube and Xbox 360 already have and threw in the Gyroscopic control scheme of the already-announced Wii controller makes it the most impressive thing out of E3? Wow. |
I don't see why you're complaining about the wireless functionalities. We've known about them for a long time.

It made an impression because it was unknown of what the PS3 controller was going to be. I don't see why they shouldn't be impressed. It would take much adjusting to play many of the games that sell big here on a Wii-like pad.

RE: Sketch's Famitsu List
Who was polled for this? Did they ask a bunch of people at the Sony booths to get their results or what? I can understand people being interested in learning more about Sony's new console, but when they have "PlayStation 3 menu and user interface" at number 5, it makes me wonder if this is just a joke. Seriously, why should so many people give a shit about the PS3 menus over important stuff like the games that will be running on the system? |
Sketch's list seems to have come from here: http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/200...53203,0,0.html, the first list on the page. It's not a poll at all; I think it's just a ranking of which piece of news got the most hits on famitsu.com over E3.
|
I took it from a gaming news site, The Magic Box which said that it came from a poll.

To be honest...I dont see the reason in needing a wireless controller. I would have much rather had a rumble feature instead of wireless. I think wireless stuff should be for the people like Logitech and Mad Catz [lmao, they even around still?] to make those accessories, not the major companies such as Sony or Nintendo. It's just silly to me.
I think what really concerns me is this whole 'ps3 not compatable with the ps2 ans ps1 memory cards' thing. [if these things have been answered and discussed, don't get all pissed because I dont regularly follow this thread by every post. >_>] |

I actually like the idea of wireless controllers. I got a chance to try out some on an Xbox 360 the other day and it's just nice to be able to take/move the thing anywhere and not have to worry about cords. That's definetly a smart move on the part of next-gen sytems, incorporating that as a default. As for the rumble/shock feature, Sony would just get sued again if they did use it. |

The only thing that interested me, which is still unconfirmed, is the region-free games on the PS3, if Sony can avoid putting region restrictions on games, it'll help their sales in the near future. After all, modding a new console to play other regions' games costs at least $300 more...
When it boils down to price and innovation, Wii stands out among the three, unless you are a rich kid or a die-hard Sony fan, I'm sure you'll pick up Wii first like me to keep yourself entertained while wait for PS3's price to drop to a reasonablely affordable level. |

Bah, i'd rather have the rumble feature back. Come on Gelb, even you agree feeling the Engines on your Su-37 in Ace Combat on the controller feels better than a controller that does nothing. |

I don't understand the fixation with force-feedback. It's a useless gimmick. The only amusement I get out of the rumble feature is the realization of how pathetically fake and ineffective it is.

I can see it now. People are going to program the first viruses for a videogame console.
Anyways, the only thing I can really think of comming out of the whole PS3 homebrew scene are emulators, which would totally negate the whole Nintendo library on the Wii. Anyone else have any cool ideas? |

Force-feedback will end up being one of those things that you take for granted, but when it's gone you'll really notice it and kinda want it back. Ah well.
Anyway, the announcement that a WiFi adapter and an external memory card device are being produced has convinced to splurge only on the $500 PS3 and not the $600 one. Ultimately, both models support some type of high-definition, be it through component cables or HDMI outputs, and considering how long it's likely going to be before I get an HD-capable (and a good one) television, I'm not too worried about HDMI. Now, here's hoping for some supreme launch titles. But please Sony, hold the mushrooms. |

Wow that's what happened? Hmmm, lame. Very lame. Like someone said in the above posts, you won't notice it until it's gone. Even if the rumble is used for silly things like RPGs and what not, its still a nice feature. See now i'm getting irritated we can't use dual shock 2 controllers on this machine. Hmm, maybe they'll get a sort of...adapter to those controllers or something, so they can be used on the ps3. That's what also annoys me with console makers, they consistantly change their controllers so none can work with the newest descendant or the oldest. :/ |
I will miss the force feedback controllers. As noted above, games that use the feature "appropriately" such as Ace Combat or a multitude of FPS/action games involving guns and projectile weapons to feel the recoil won't quite have the same effect to me, anymore. They'll still be fun, but it's a thing I've taken for granted that once your hands get used to the virbrating, you don't really notice it anymore unless there's a big ass explosion that shakes the controller more violently than normal. I liked feeling the "recoil" from the gun each time I pulled the trigger. ;_;.

I think Kutaragi drink something when say that
