As I said.. take my word for it.. 
And since this is supposed to be a PS3 thread and not a "chipped is bad => swap is good" thread, and with the added info it is deemed illegal in some countries to modify a console and/or play backed up games on it, I will stop with further offtopic conversation. |
Ah, I wasn't taking into consideration the laser thing at all.
Regarding patching; I suppose so, though I've yet to encounter a game that's needed patching to be compatible with SwapDisc. Unless you count rebuilding as patching, but that's possible with a single tool, unless you want to do it manually.
I was mainly pushing the SwapDisc + Magic Tools method on the premise of a unvoided warranty and (usually) a lesser cost.
On the original topic...
What do you guys think about the Sixaxis controller?
Do you think the motion detection will really make that big of a difference in games? Obviously it's not as versatile as the Wiimote. It'd probably be a dumb idea to use the PS2 controller like a racing wheel or even a light gun, unlike the Wiimote.
And what happens if you're lying down while playing? Is it going to force you to sit up straight? Bah.
