dont know how dark your monitors are but....

Someone already decompiled the flash file. Seems they used an iPod box to disperse the smoke when filming the effect. The PS3 picture didn't quite mask the bright white Apple logo on the iPod box and thus the Apple logo flashes though during a few frames of the animation.

It was just an oversight and you can't even see it with a properly configured monitor and color profile which whoever at Sony made this most likely has. If you can see that logo flash you need to reconfigure your monitor. :P

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just tweaked my gamma settings last week (since I'm too frugal to go for a calibrator) and can't see it at all. Same thing happened over on GamingAge. BTW, Cetra, what do you use to adjust your monitor settings/make color profiles? Something like QuickGamma or that in-built Adobe Photoshop option?

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

I actually use a various amount of on screen test patterns to adjust brightness, contrast and gamma to the correct levels. Then I use a physical color calibration chart (it's a piece of cardboard with colors on it) and adjust my color levels by hand as well.

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

I see the logo, I had to turn up the gamma to see it. It was only a mistake though...

Actually, it's still there.

Whoa, you've got a chart? Know where I can get one? My monitor's pretty old, and I'm on the lookout for a better CRT.

Oh, anyone want to bet Sony (and a load of third party suppliers) will make a PS2 -> USB multitap peripheral?

Something like this?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Bingo. With the PS2 having been around for 5+ years, there's an immense amount of Dual Shocks out there that would be useless come PS3-time. Of course, people will want to use what they have at hand. Easy money, pretty much.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you sure you can?

FELIPE NO

No, the point was that there will likely be PS3 peripheral that does the same as that product, seeing as how the console lacks PS1/PS2 controller ports.

That way, PS2 owners can use Dual Shock 2s to play games on the machine if the new controller doesn't suit them.

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

but I thought that the ps3 controller was exactly the same thing as the ps2 just wireless (and with the motion thingy)

so beside to save some money I don't see why someone will not like it...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

PS3 controller lacks rumble feature, and has a 'Home' button, like the PSP.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I really can't think of a single wireless conroller feature a rumble feature, then again, I stay away from 3rd parties. So whatever.

But on the idea of a PS2 controller fitting into a PS3 via outside peripheral....how much do they plan on selling this for? Because you're not saving much money if this peripheral costs as much as a PS3 controller. I guess if you really must have the rumble feature, ok. But you do lose the wireless capability as well as the tilt sensor. It's probably not worth it, IMO.

Couldn't tell you, sorry. One of the graphic designers had one at work so I went over to Kinkos and had a copy of it made.

Xbox 360 controller?

The loss of the rumble feature is something that really bothers me. I've been playing my PS2 games with them off after the announcement and you really don't appreciate what the feature does until it's gone. I'm really going to miss it.

Wii controller, Logitech Cordless Action Controllers, etc.

How ya doing, buddy?

you know if the ps3 controller wil not have this rumble feature, I don't think any video game company will create those rumble feature for a controller that don't support it >.>

so the ps2 controller is still the same as the ps3 (except the cord >.>)

Uh, what? And no, the PS3 controller is not the same as a PS2 controller.

FELIPE NO

I haven't touched a regular Gamecube controller once I got hold of my Wavebirds so the loss of rumble while wireless might not be as noticeable to me, but for a good bit of Sony's third party titles, it's a loss. MGS is a good example in how it helps set the player up (or spook them).

Both the Xbox 360 and Wii controllers are wireless and have rumble support. Basically, Sony is the only first-party company this generation that DOESN'T have a wireless gamepad with rumble support.

But I don't see how they'll handle backwards compatability without rumble, many PS2 games use the rumble for rather important purposes (such as the sensors in MGS3). Seems like a pretty strange thing to remove.

Oh, and have they said if the buttons are analog sensitive, or are they going to pull an Xbox 360 and remove that feature as well? I believe the L2 and R2 triggers have analog, but I haven't heard of the other buttons.
