Sony just lost all of my respect.

hmmm. I thought E3 started tomm. Who cares if they put the best things about xbox360 and Nintendo. I would buy the one that had both features.

It was more the prepped demos, almost passed off as in-game that annoyed me, and cast doubts on the state of the hardware. I was unimpressed overall, and I think there was a good reason Sony left the good stuff 'till last, lest everyone had a straight go at them walking out the door.

I do consider myself more of a pc gamer, but i like to include myself in the console world. I agree that not including the vibration in thier controller is a big mistake. Also, im usually all about the best of the best when it comes to hardware. For example, Nvidia invented SLI, ATI invented crossfire. Didnt really bother me. But for a comapny like sony to straight up mimic someone elses technology and expect it to be a something that they are known for. ugh, it discusts me. But i do belive that sony, with the ps3, might not go the way that they want it to. And by that i mean down the toilet.

I understand what your saying, and for the most part you are correct i guess. If a company can take someone elses idea (microsoft) and use it better and make something out of it, then they deserve what they get. But i guess im just stuck on principles, sony is just this buisness giant, you would think that they could come up with "revolutionary" ideas on thier own. But other than that i guess it will be ok in the end. I cant wait to download old snes/sega games on to my revoultio..errr "wii"

You can already use an emulator with your PC.



...I think there is a theme running through my posts here....

fo shizzle

DVD is a format, not an idea, sony put a dvd player in thier system because DVD players were so expensive at the time in japan. People could just buy a dvd player for x amount of money, or purchase A PS2 for quite a bit cheaper. DVD's are also the only thing you can fit that much information on. So its more of an almost have to thing, not an idea. And sonys controller idea for the ps1, the 64 came out before the ps1 i do belive. But listen, i understand that taking ideas isnt a real big thing, because innovative ideas are acceptable no matter who invented them as long as they work. But im tired of companys, sony in particular taking ideas, manipulating them and saying they are thier "innovative ideas". And the ps3 controller was just recently changed due to all this, you know why? They were sued by an unknown to my knowlege company for the vibration in thier controller to be taken out. So the ps3 does not have a vibrating controller, they needed something else i assume. But whatever, if the ps3 amazes me with its awesomeness then sure ill buy it. I just dont like to see the little guys get pushed around thats all.

yes you are right about the DVD but you are proving my point on the N64 controllers... since the N64 came out before the PS1. The PS1 came out with the "new, better, more comftable" controller, and so Nintendo when they released the Cube by coincidence decided to use the same design? No they saw that it worked and they adapted it and used it for their new console.

So we saw Nintendo ( and Microsoft) use Sony's idea for the controller in the past. Now Sony is returning the favor.

Now I did say before that I am not a console freak ( actualy I would sell a PS3 to buy a better computer lol) so don't think I'm a PS fanboy. I just don't see why people are making such a big deal out of something so small...

I agree with you man. I dont know about the idea's or anything like that because im sure all the companys toyed with the idea. Its just getting it to work is the hard part. Apparently nintendo has done thier research on this new controller of thiers.

You serious?!

i had an inkling but you never know. i prefer to stick to common english as much as possible to avoid confusion. tbh that sort of language makes people sound like they are stupid and can't speak properly. i know you can but some people you ain't too sure if it is deliberate or they just don't know any better.

You mean abbreviations or a lack of punctuation? I can stand some abbreviations (as I know the basic ones), but a lack of correct punctuation can make something totally incomprehensible.

its when ppl talk lik im talking now LOL ur stoopid 2 not get it

Wot, j00 callin meh st00pid?


You know, maybe one day that'll be accepted English. 8O God help us all.

Do not say Sony copied off Nintendo. They both copied off of Microsoft's sidewinder freestyle pro made on 1998. Please know who copied off who kk?

Pfft, I've ben boycotting Sony ever since the rootkit fiasco. There's no respect for me to lose.

OOOOO GYROS!!! We better inform the authorities because Sony has just defrauded Nintendogs of ground-breaking, state-of-the-art technology!

...

Really, you had to expect this to happen. Motion control is only one of the next steps in the evolution of console gayming. Microsoft would have done the same thing, they just didn't get the memo.

My biggest beef with the controller isn't that it is a rip-off from Nintendo, i mean you can't really go by that.... i mean if SONY uses CD ROM units in their PS1 and some other company does CD's too, is that a rip off? No, just using the best things possible with your system.

The BIGGEST beef is the rumble is gone from the controller, that is inexcusable !!!!!!!!!!

Stupid SONY.

absolutely everyone and everything copies ideas of other things its how the world works. Get over it.
Windows Vista is a copy off all other software joined into one OS.
PS3 will have the best features of the Wii(crap name btw) and 360 as well as way more power and a blue-ray drive worth over a $1000 so it is exelent value if u ask me.
not that i will be buying one(id rather upgrade my computer)
PS3 will simply be the best console ever and will be way better than the Wii.
the Wii cpu will only be around 700mhz which is similar to the original xbox! and its gpu is only an ati 285mhz chip(or something like that)
PS3 4EVER!!!

dont want to be bullied into getting a blu-ray player when DVD is just fine for me so sony can go stuff themselves
