sony is dead to me now, theyre too conceited. they think that since its brand name is Sony, then they have the right to charge us as much as they please. ]]>Oct 6th 2006 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/

Ken Kutaragi is only brain dead.
Kaz and Ken need to get out of their ivory tower and start thinking about
real gamers. Most of their decisions lately seem based on ego and false pride.

I really like FF and rumble in most of the games I play. I see very little use
for tilt motion. Seems like a bad idea to me. Sony can't get out of their own
way.

In all honestly I never really liked the rumble feature anyways. I didn't find it very "immersive". now if there was some kind of linear slide which could make the controller jerk in one of 4 directions slightly that might be interesting. or even if it would just jerk to one side or another (would make fun steering for racing games?)]]>Oct 6th 2006 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Suggestions for future articles:

If you think about it the cost of a controller which has now proably changed because of bluetooth, usb interface, batteries and motion sensors, all that adds up and i dont imagine gamers want to be paying over the top for one controller, so by removing rumble it will save a little money.

Also if your going to add rumber to a wireless controller how long are the batteries going to last before you have to stop playing to recharge your controller or they could fill the controller with batteries and you could enjoy playing your playstation with the controller weighted to the floor.

Stop being so angry and show sony some suport, all this bad publicity cant be going down well in the sony camp which means poorly motivated staff

First thing I do when playing is turn that off. I hate it. Always have, always will.

So what Sony is saying is "we are not going to pay Microsoft to license rumble."

You couple that with the fact that this lawsuit against MS, Sony, and Nintendo was filed in 2002, YEARS after rumble first appeared in Nintendo's rumble pack and Sony's Dual shock controller (1997), and that the patents themselves are vague and far reaching, and oh by the way immersion was failing at the time the suit was brought...I can see why Sony is fighting this. What they need to do is just come out and say that rather than feeding us this BS about cost and technical issues...

But, personally I do enjoy the rumble, it does help in the immersion factor. Playing Forza on the XBox or 360 - the rumble played a significant factor in helping to determine if I was pushing the tires too much.

The problem I have with Sony is that they don't give you the option of turning it off - It's not there. At least with Microsoft - you have the choice. Choice is good!]]>Oct 6th 2006 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/

seriously you guys are so brainwashed by Nintendo and MS its insane..

Lets look at the competition shall we
360:
wired controller is $40 (SAME PRICE as the wireless dual shock)

WIreless controllers are $50 MORE (also since it DOES NOT COME WITH A BATTERY) you ALSO HAVE to purchase a play and charge kit (add another $15 PER CONTROLLER)...

Wii:
Now these guys are interesting..
First of all they are selling TWO different units to complete ONE controller.

The Wii mote, the classic controller, and the nunchuck.

Since people are buying the Wii for the controller.... they HAVE to purchase the WIi mote ($40) PLUS the NUnhcuk ($20) so it costs $60 to add a controller.. a full %$20 higher than SOnys.

O and sonys gives you A LITHIUM BATTERY BUILT RIGHT IN WITH A MINI-USB connector.. unlike MS who USES A PROPRIEYARY PLAY and charge port on the controller to charge it..

So sony has the cheapest controller, GIVES you a rechargeable battery, and motion sensing..

why dont you guys flame MS for its over priced $50... er $65 controller and Nintendos $60 crap instead]]>Oct 6th 2006 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 6th 2006 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/ce-oh-no-he-didnt-part-xiv-lack-of-rumble-keeps-ps3-controll/Oct 10th 2006 1:08AM
