lol, maybe I was mistaken. I have been up for 26 hours now studying for finals, so I'm a little slow. I loved the sarcasm doh, if that really was sarcasm.
Anyways, some positive PS3 news, um there will be new FF13 trailers in the upcoming Jump Fest this week Time to pass out the cake and punch. None for Kayos, and Onizuka untill they kiss and make up. |

So, when you get your nintendo Wii kayos, (when the price drops of course) feel free to add my friend code, lets exchange some mii's! And i'll do vice versa (when the price drops of course) and lets exchange some....erm.....crabs? lol.

nice try Onizuka, but still not cake and punch for you. Because your avatar and sig are freaking me out, since they keep moving every 9seconds...
God I need sleep, I hate college finals with a passion. Not to totally derail the thread, is anyone having problem with their PS3? Ours stopped working yesterday, we would turn it on and get a greyish blueish screen. Then we turned it on earlier today, and it was working fine. Weird |

@Lebron I've had no problems with mine yet. That is really weird. I'm assuming that it wasn't just the blue screen on the tv when nothing is playing to it? It was a different color than the bright tv blue? Do let us know if it happens again. That's what warrenties are for, ne? Oh, and do you have a PSN UN? |

by the way, how is sony warranty service? Nintendo has outstanding turn arounds, within a week RMA, and sometimes they don't even have you send it and comfirm it's delivery before sending out a replacement. (so for a period you have two/three Wii with you, before you send back the broken one)
Been hearing really bad stories of ps3 customer service, dunno how it's like in the UK & Europe, but i hope i don't have to find out.

About the controller of PS3, only I don't like about the controller is actually the design. The only reason why I would've loved the former controller for the PS3 is because it doesn't look like its former PSs' controllers.
What the PS3 consumers are given is bascially an upgraded version (maybe not since Sony took out the rumbler) of the PS2 controller: wireless controls and the SIXAXIS. I still would've liked the Boomerang controller without the SIXAXIS, since the only PS3 game that uses the SIXAXIS is Lair, where you have to control your dragon's flight path with the motions of the controller. BTW, there is a good news for the future PS3 gamers: the manufaturing issues with Sony for the PS3 have been solved. If you want to see the article explaining that, I'll post the article link with no hesitance. |

From what I understand, the PS3 is perfectly capable of doing everything the Wii does, and if Sony wanted to, I'm sure they could create a controller for Wii-like games. Not sure if that's copyright infringement, but it's probably not since the Sixaxis is already quite similar to the Wiimote. Regardless though, you can't say the motion detection is any more a gimmick than rumble. If anything, rumble motors make the controller heavy. I tend to turn the rumble off in most games, since I could care less about immersion. No one complained that the Wiimote is missing rumble, anyways. |

@Dark `: Request received and taken care of: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21577
And thanks for reminding me of all the games that will use the SIXAXIS. I just remembered that Sony announced their SIXAXIS controller at E3 2006 with Warhawk. @Papaya: No one complained about the Wiimote's lack of rumbler is because it lacks the lacking of the rumbler. In other words, Wiimote comes with the rumbler built in. I held it once and it was very lighter then I thought it was. Maybe that's why it flies off of people's hand and into someone's face, their plasma TV, window, or all of the above. |

I will give Sony credit for the pressure sensitive buttons, though. That was a fantastic idea that I'm dissapointed Microsoft hasn't (at least to my knowledge) picked up on. The following are quoted for emphasis: Quote:

Yeah, the Wiimote is pretty light. I would say that it would be equal in weight to about 3 AA batteries... that's with the 2 AA batteries in them. I don't understand how people keep letting go of them and have them fly through rooms and hit people/objects. I've played Wii Sports, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, Trauma Center and Twilight Princess... not once have I ever felt I would have the controller slip out of my hand. And yes, I do the whole range of motion while playing Wii Sports... if you just flick your wrist for that you're so a tool. |

More bad news for the PS3 owners and future owners according to this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoCD9TwLrVs The video shows how the PS3's backward capability is poor and messes up the graphics of the PS2 games and PS1 games. The video uses Final Fantasy X's opening scene as an example. Really suprising when I saw this. |

Heh, 360's BC was like that for a while But, they got most of it fixed with the updates. Just give Mr. Sony time, they should get most of the kinks worked out, for the most part. Well at least for the games that matter :P

The problem is real. They have people complaining about it on alot of forums.
http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...773566#M773566 Theres one for instance. It seems to be a problem with the emulation not being compatible with HD or something. Actually I don't really know what the problem is since we don't play PS2 games on our PS3. So yea, wouldn't really know :P But a friend of mine was playing Tales of the Abyss on his PS3, and he said it was terrible quality and a bug fest. He had to turn it off and just use his normal PS2. Then again, it just launched. Anyone who taught it would be w/o problems, is yea, stupid But yea that guy's video maybe have overdone it just a tad :P |

Yeah well it is the PS forum, anyone who says anything bad about it is automatically called a troll. But yea, your right it is kind of weird. Also I hope you don't mean taking the PS3 apart, do you?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre...=131102&page=5 heres a better one, scroll down to DC charlies posts, he posts Okami and ICO running on the PS3. |

Yea, Okami is a work of art, IMO. The game looks beautiful when you're playing it on your PS2. But those screens of it running on the PS3, don't do the game justice. I'm sure the problem will be worked out in the coming months, so its all good.
