Sony Press Conference (discussion and live stream)

Nobody here has played the PS3 controller either. If self experience is what designates who should talk about ANYTHING, then we wouldn't be able to talk about the PS3 or the Nintendo Wii at ALL. Educative speculation is what leads us to draw comparisons and conclusions between things we haven't ourselves seen or experienced. Point in case, everybody here has a right to express their opinions about either console in an objective manner.

Personally, I don't like what Sony did with their "6 degree" controller. Why do you think everybody is getting annoyed over the fact that it's such a blatant rip-off of the Wii remote?
Because it's wrong. Because ripping off competitors' hardware capabilities is wrong. Unless you honestly have something to add to the experience, it's just a me-too add on. And not only that, but Sony is being hypocritical! They say "no gimmicks" but then they reveal the "6 degree" controller and the Eyetoy and the likes. It's sick. And this kind of hypocritical behavior is sick and should not be condoned.


On a side note...
You know, one of your problems, Mucknuggle, is that you defend the PS3 yet you dismiss any responsibility from your words by saying things like this:

You guys really do bitch too much. It's a fucking videogame system. Why are you taking this shit so seriously? So, you think that the Wii has a better controller, wonderful. No need to whine and moan about the PS3.

Really, now, stop trying to act like your the only rational voice on this board.

Why drink water when you could drink... Wii? Hehe, just kidding. Like Cassamasina said, we all make fun and joke around about it because really, it's not serious business. It's just a name, and that's it, nothing more, nothing less. The only people concerned about the name are people who are concerned about image, and let me ask you, since when was the video game industry ever associated with image?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nah, you get me wrong, Metal Sphere, the "you" is aimed at a general audience, not specifically you. The joke was the only thing aimed at your comment, everything else was my own opinion. Apologies for the confusion.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

PS: The nuchuck attachment (the joystick add-on) for the Wii Remote has a gyroscopic sensor, not unlike the one in the PS3 controller.

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

From what I can tell, Gelb-2 is trying to say that the PS3 controller and the Wii Remote have NOTHING (verbatim) in common, while the Technophile is attesting that the PS3 controller's gyroscope functionality is a rip off the Wii Remote because of their similarities.

I'll have to side more strongly with Technophile (though you are now both being shitheads) particularly because of Gelb-2's decided escalation with his "fuck" post, and I can't really tolerate blatantly rampant crude behavior.

Secondly, I'd like to point out that the ability to sense in 3 dimensions, regardless of Gyroscopic technology, is SIMILAR in both the Wii Remote and the PS3 controller. Please do not tell me, Gelb, that the two have NOTHING in common.

How ya doing, buddy?

Geez, Merv, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Here's everybody before your post:
"Wiimote Wiimote yeshmmmmm...."

And then here's you:
"It's not the fucking WIIMOTE SHUT THE FUCK UP GRAWRAAWRAWR!!"

I mean seriously where the fuck did you come from and why are you so angry?


Edited, in response to Acerbandit's recent post, I said much the same thing in a post of mine just a while back... This is sort of a.... I told you so to everybody here, since nobody has the patience to read through what other people have to say since all the post are going WAY TOO fast.

How ya doing, buddy?

1) Technophile, your latest post would be considered antagonizing the Merv.

2) to Merv, Why should it matter who I am?

3) You should CARE because your acting like an immature kid. Seriously, this is the kind of behavior that I am utterly SICK of on these boards. Nobody gives a shit if nobody knows who you are, even if you have something worthwhile to say, then everybody hides and scurries behind the anonymity of "teh internet" because they can't accept responsibility of their actions, and because "it feels so damn good to do whatever the fuck you want".

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
