Gates on PS3 controller: "not mainstream for most games" {PS3 Fanboy}
May 30th 2006 1:54AM I could give a rat's ass what Gates (or Jobs or Iwata or Bush, etc.) think, but that picture always makes me laugh.
Thanks for making my day.
The embarrassing Sony press conference {PS3 Fanboy}
May 26th 2006 2:17AM I can't deny that that video is hilarious, but I'm still planning on getting a PS3. The reasons are simple:
I will not get an XBox 360 out of dislike of some of Microsoft's other products. note: I know of "rootkit-gate" and all that, and I don't particularly care since I would never buy DRMed music in any form. Plus, I have never actually bought a music CD in my life.
I will not get a Wii because it has only two series that are "only for Nintendo": Zelda and Metroid. Those series are the only reason I am even considering it, BUT the level of respect that they afford the segment of their gaming audience older than 10 borders on outright hostility. So, since I am also not looking forward to anything else on the system, I will wait and decide a few months after.
The PS3 seems to have at least "not bad" games, with even some good-looking ones (ie, Resistance). It has built-in WiFi, which is amust for me, since I've used WiFi exclusively to connect to the net for years. It has a Blu-Ray Drive, which even if I won't use it for movies a whole lot, I will definitely use it for data storage when I get a computer with a BD-R drive. It will also of course allow more stuff to be stored on the discs for the games, so more textures, audio tracks (ie Japanese audio), etc. Lastly, according to all Sony has said, it will run Linux, so hordes of Hax0rz jobs will be made that much easier, to make stuff like a descent movie viewer, dvd ripper, video transcoder (ie, videos for psp), bittorrent client, etc. etc.
The most important thing is though, is that I don't really care about the price since I have started working in a well-paying internship, already have plenty of money saved up, and will have plenty of money for games.
Hands on with the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive {Engadget}
May 10th 2006 2:58AM AFAIK, HDDVD transfer rate is 36Mbps, (compared to BD 54Mbps) and USB 2.0/High Speed handles about 57Mbps. Those are the real-life rates, I think.
So, plenty of room to spare, I guess.
Hands on with the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive {Engadget}
May 9th 2006 10:42PM And where are the "press shots" by the way?
And it's risqu, BTW.
So does this addon attach to the console in any way, or is it just supposed to stand to the side, connected by a USB cable?
Sony shows off the real PS3 controller {Engadget}
May 8th 2006 10:45PM I love the new controller, just as I loved the DualShock2 before it. I can't stand the positioning of the joysticks on the 360 controller, and I have no idea how well Nintendo's wierd idea will work. I really don't mind that they ripped off the Revolution (not calling it a childish synonym for urine) It just makes the PS3 better while making the 360 look worse.
Peace to both Nintendo and Sony. I hope both their controllers function well.
