Jeez. This is boring. I don't want to have to wave another controller through the air everytime someone comes round.

I heard that Sony was bypassing motion controllers and going straight to mind controllers so you don't have to move at all in PS3Fit. ]]>Aug 22nd 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/

With better media support and extender features.....


Sounds good to me!

-Brand New Console replacement every 3 months for 3 Years!]]>Aug 23rd 2008 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/
All I know is I have had mine for 2 years with zero problems.

My brother had a launch unit that did get replaced under warranty after he had it for 18 months, new unit is going strong.

I read that some people have bad luck. I don't personally know anyone that needed a replacement more than once.

Sony Fanboys like to latch on to whatever they think helps their cause. Take with a grain of salt.

I mean, I know Bill Gates can do everything, but there has to be SOME sort of limit. ]]>Aug 22nd 2008 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/
Analogue control was a good idea, it was universally adopted. Motion control is a good idea (or will be when it is better implemented than on the Wii and PS3 - not that I'm saying an Xbox 360 implementation would be better), it will be universally adopted.

It's how it works. When something is popular, everyone else tries to ape it to glean some of the halo effect. So long as we're getting great games, what does it matter?]]>Aug 22nd 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 22nd 2008 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SideWinder#Freestyle_Pro).

Microsoft's recent direction with the Xbox 360 has seen it move to becoming more of a multimedia hub for the living room and not just a gaming platform. Does this mean there is more of a market for stick waving (you know that's what it boils down to) than being the multimedia power house for an entire house hold? ]]>Aug 23rd 2008 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/Aug 23rd 2008 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/22/new-199-xbox-360-arcade-bundle-rumored-to-include-motion-contro/
