I've never used bluetooth mice for gaming after discovering how poorly my Logitech BT mouse behaved in UT2K3. I'm starting to wonder if BT was a poor decision for Sony?]]>Nov 30th 2006 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/not sure if it is isolated]]>Nov 30th 2006 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/

So remember kids do not listen to Joystiq, they are a BLOG site not a real news site. And Joystiq hates Sony and Ps3.

I understand Sony wan't ease of 3rd party solutions (which makes no sense, less profit for a loss making console), but sometimes you have more control and can make the tech work for you if its closed (as in the 360 wireless standard). I don't think its interference as that would just cause the controller to go momentarily out of sync and would sporadically reconnect. Its more a hardware/firmware and bluetooth design issue that makes you have to resync.]]>Nov 30th 2006 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/
You hear that??


That's the sound of Sony's coffin being buried.]]>Nov 30th 2006 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/
Bluetooth (as I have seen) when dropping a connection seems to forget the relationship and cause a resync. Though the profile is still there (on a phone), you must hit reconnect. Again the Bluetooth advantage has some interfernce and has been dropped...

WiFi and other closed standards (such the 360, 2.4GHz Phones) remember the settings and try to keep the connection alive and reconnect if its lost. This is from my own personal experience as my last three phones had Bluetooth (SonyEricsson x 2 and Nokia). I've even been transfering a big file from my computer and had to totally restart...]]>Nov 30th 2006 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/

Wow harsh one! Maybe Microsoft should learn there's QA for software too, 'cause I wouldn't ever consider the Zune to be "a successful launch".]]>Nov 30th 2006 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Its nothing wrong with it sony haters!!!]]>Nov 30th 2006 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Dec 1st 2006 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/
However, DO NOT call me a Sony Basher. What is my favourite mobile phone company? SonyEricsson. What brand computer am I typing this on? Sony Vaio VGN-T350P, Which set me back about $2000...

Just because people criticise the PS3 doesn't mean they think Sony Sucks, I just think Sony could have done better and the 360 really is the best console.]]>Nov 30th 2006 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/How about the fact that there is no rumble?
What is Sony thinking?
While the Wii maybe technologically inferior to the 360 & PS3 at least it has RUMBLE.

Nintendo makes $190 mil in just 8 days and Sony is losing an estimated $300 per each PS3 sold at retail(ebay sales do not count).]]>Dec 1st 2006 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=sony_bullshit]]>Nov 30th 2006 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/
You make it sound like everyone who buys a PS3 is going to have problems, when in reality, most of the systems have worked perfectly since day one. ]]>Nov 30th 2006 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Dec 3rd 2006 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/
You are widely misinformed, friend. The PSP has had a plethora of issues, more notably the square key on a lot of models has a weak response due to them cramming the innards so close to the LCD and has actually caused cracking of the LCD itself if the button is pressed too hard.

Sony's response to the square key issue when asked why they haphazardly stuck the key innards so close to the display? They said it wasn't a problem or a fault of design and that is how they wanted it. To fix the problem they would have had to make the screen smaller or the unit wider.

There is a pretty famous quote from our favorite Sony PR clown but I can't be bothered to find it.]]>Nov 30th 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/Nov 30th 2006 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/30/sonys-sixaxis-controllers-are-wigging-out/neighbourhood geeks put an end to fun game-playing of their neighbour's ps3.

I go on a Nintendo thread and its majority Nintendo fans complimenting; then a Sony site it's majority Nintendo and MS fans bashing. Anyone else notice this?

I'm planning to get a PS3 soon. but not the first gen. I'm not that desperate and I know first gen systems always screw up. It happened with 360, Wii, and PS2 (so far still the best home console).]]>Dec 1st 2006 12:38AM
