If you were to view the HD stream, it probably would have.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why are people standing in the middle of the road in the Grand Canyon track?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We better get to kill those animals on that safari game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Quite the departure for Naughty Dog.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Show the new controller, damn it.

Don't get your hopes up. The guys demoing shit were using PS2 controllers.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wesley Snipes is demoing a game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

How is Tiger spewing out stupid catch phrases and smiling going to make gameplay better?

FELIPE NO

Medal of Honor looks crazy.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

MGS4! HELL FUCKNG YES!

How ya doing, buddy?

So they ripped of Wii. Excellent.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

$600 for 60GB PS3. They weren't kidding.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I could literally buy three Cambodian sex slaves for $600. Not that I would want to, though.

If Nintendo announces a low price point for the Wii tomorrow (anything under $300 is low at this point), you can all start bowing down to your new gaming new leaders.

Does it necesarily have to be Wii that takes the throne? Word on the street is that there's a system called the Xbox 360 and it's already on sale around the world.

It would've been more effective if the price point was lower. Since Sony wants to make it so that poeple can't differentiate between PS3 and Wii, they'll probably go with the Wii because it's less expensive and, to them, appears the same.

About the new DualShock, I do recall Phil Harrison saying that there was movement across x,y and z axes. So it isn't quite as limited as some have cried. And how can anyone make comparisons between the PS3 controller and the Wii controller when nobody has viewed the Wii controller in action?

And perhaps I may be playing devil's advocate, but we can't prove 100% Sony ripped off Nintendo. Their projects may have been developed in parallel and independently. We hadn't recieved any word about the controller in a year, and that ws before Wiimote was introduced. I guess the only thing that will settle this is a patent search.

Point in case, everybody here has a right to express their opinions about either console in an objective manner.

You talk about "educative speculation," which is exactly what I'm talking about. It's one thing to have videos of the Wii controller and the PS3 controller and praise or condemn on or the other. You have information from both sides and can make that educative speculation. It's another thing to have a video only of the PS3 and condemn it and praise the Wii when there is no video of Wii in action. I think you missed that. Of course we make many of our opinions here without personally experiencing what we're talking about. But we mostly have secondary information to back up those opinions. There isn't enough information to make an opinion about the PS3/Wii issue now. Tomorrow, however, we can make all the opinions and educative speculation we want.
