Ok two things..

And two Billy you don't know if the PS3 will suck or not yet...

Err... did you read that you can just 'tilt' the controller over 10 years ago? And Sony lie about the graphics of their consoles, the get other companies to create them. New killzone graphics = complete lies.

If you're going to contribute, you could at least make it relevant.

Fanboys, eh?

Did anyone actually notice he is playing a PS1? So how is that a PS3 controller. The PS3 controller is either going to be the same as PS2, that nice Analog thick controllers, or them round half steering wheel horrible things.

He was playing the PS2 aswell, GT3 I believe, I don't see how that proves that is a PS3 controller though o.O

Hmm.. Not very quick on the intake, n'est-ce pas?

The point of the video was to show that Sony's new, 'revolutionary' technology was invented over a little less than a decade ago and than a third-party company had already incorporated said technology for the Playstation.

The controller on the video is also capable of force-feedback, or the rumble feature. The controller worked perfectly fine and there were no troubles at all. Sony, however, claimed that their 'new' PS3 controller will not have force-feedback because it will 'interfere with the tilt function'. This isn't true though. Let's review facts:
1. The controller in the video, capable of both force-feedback and tilt, worked perfectly fine.
2. Sony was sued by Immersion, the company responsible for the heptic technology used in force feedback, for using their technology without a license on the Dual Shock controller.
3. In order for Sony to be able to use force-feedback again, they must pay Immersion a total of $35M (Is it more or less? I get figures mixed up.), but Sony refuses to pay.
So, that pretty much sums up what the video is trying to say. You'd expect that a system that costs $600 would have these features as basics.

Oh, look, Nintendo already did it.

And the Wii offers complete 3D control, not just tilting.

Also, graphically, there is very little difference between the Playsation 3 and the Xbox 360.
------
Alctually, if you remember correctly, the Playsation 3 did have another controller- it was banana-shaped. Sony decided not to use it because the public disliked it, so they were stuck with their decade-old idea.
------
Okay, so you're putting down the Xbox 360, yet you own one? If you're going to lie, do it correctly. And why would you do such a stupid thing? =/

It's funny to see how completely stupid you are, lol. None of your posts are really coherent and it looks like someone stole your punctuation keys. Next time you post, don't make yourself look like an idiot, although I think I'm asking for the impossible here.

Joe!

Well i personally like the current playstaion controller, becuase it fits nicely in your hand and is easy to use, unlike the xbox 360 controllers.
