The new PS3 controller! (not boomerang)

again we covered this...not gonna happen...

that usb port is up there cause im assuming it will be able to connect to a PC or a MAC for games. And it can connect to the PS3's 8 USB ports to have a number of players playing at the same time both wireless and wired.

yeah I don't think there is any way of i connecting to a psp just not the right kind of plugs...

this is way better cause it interact with the games to

yes, can u say downloadable content....maybe

The vibration was actually removed because Sony got sued up the donkey for patent infringments for the dual shock controller by the company that invented and patented the technology. Microsoft utilized an almost identical method of vibration however settled with the company for big bucks plus now has some sort of property rights on the technology as well. Nintendo, who first introduced vibration with the N64 used a different mechanism entirely. Its funny how many Ideas Sony has taken from Nintendo. The analog stick, rumble controller, and now gyroscopic motion sensors. Nintendo should have just kept the gyroscopic controller idea under wrapps until this E3 so sony wouldnt have time to rip it off. Maybe an insider had tipped off sony and Nintendo knew and wanted to unveil it first. who knows.

Wiimote vs. PS3-mote. Did Sony just steal a revolution?
by IGN Staff
May 8, 2006 - Just minutes ago, Sony made the announcement that its controllers would support tilt sensitivity and showed off the feature with a live demo of Warhawk. While this is a bit of a surprise, it also is to be expected in the grand scheme of gaming. Nintendo has been an innovator from the very beginning, and the best compliment is imitation. Of course, it's a little different when that imitation could put you out of business, right? Although PlayStation 3's and Wii's controllers may share some of the same technology, don't go counting Nintendo out just yet. There are some key differences between the controllers, and between what PS3 and Wii can do with the technology. Let's break it down.



We've known for over a year now that the Wii's input device is what makes it special. The Wiimote (as we've come accustomed to calling it), has the ability to point at any television with pixel-perfect control. In addition, it also can move in three dimensional space, meaning that if a player wants to punch an enemy in the face, they can by simply moving the controller forward. To add to the control, the nunchuck unit can team along with the Wiimote, giving tilt functionality to any game, as well as an analog joystick.

Luckily, Sony's technology isn't quite the same. Here's why:

The technology inside Sony's controller is a basic tilting accelerometer device. In a sense, that's the same style of control as the left hand of the Wii combination. Think of the technology as true 3D movement vs. basic tilt. The Wiimote will sense all pointing, motion and a new dimension of control, while the PS3 controller will expand only on the specific tilt functions. To make this a bit simpler to wrap your heads around, we've put it all in FAQ form below.

i like the old look better

i like the old look better

What? it look exaclty the same, except that its platinum

No way I like the new stuff better I like how the R2 and L2 Buttons look different now

Sony copyed Nintendo, the controller is gunna be motionsencing. I think they shoulda gone with the boobmerang and the motion thing so EA could make sum kinda BOOBMERANG STREET game and you could actualy throw the controller outside and it would come back.

Wii (Revolution) FOR EV ER

ps,
what would connecting the controller to the psp do for you?

lol first game Kangaroo Hunter 2k7

I can see the headlines now, Sony sued for 3,000 kangerus killed in autrailia by there new "Playstation 3" controller, also in small town clarion iowa, 3 crazy freshmen(me and my freinds ) do a school bomeranging killing 2 with this controller...

scary stuff

LMAO FRESHMEN UNITE!

you know, technically speaking, sony did not copy nintendo. Since the technology is totaly different. Who knows, sony could've had the same idea but never revealed it, just like how they never revealed anything about their ps3 till 1-2 months before e3.
