chaank	0 0 In response to changer's post If you guys are getting mad because they took out the vibration feature maybe you should switch to the 360? » Go to changer's original post bob marley: Thank god there's someone with a shred of common sense and forward thinking. I have an original xbox. GC. Wii, and now PS3, next i'll get a prechipped 360. I've built my last gaming PC 12 months ago, cost me "1250 GBP" where's the sense in that? Console gaming is the path bright boys follow....just stop your sobbing, bitchin and enjoy. Report Reply

Kanno	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post First of all sony didnt copy the wii controller, because on the ps2 they had released motion sensing games before nintendo and MS. Second sony is way to smart to fall in the war consels. They will definately bring back vibration somehow. O ya why is it that the 360 is in its second year and the ps3 is in its first and the graphics look exactly the same. U guys will see that the PS3s graphics in its second year will look much better than the graphics Microsoft currently has in its second year. and u MSN JERK off fan boys n nintendo are talking about stealing games. MS seemed a little worried about the grand theft auto series and they JUST HAD TO bring it to MS because they were scared that just the 1 game would make people wanna buy sony instead of their 1 man team the halo game and bill gates advanced Online Tech. So if u talk shit , have more "Correct" things to say. SOny has always been smarter than MS when it comes to video game consoles Reply

Siabot	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I would like to point out 1 key feature that no one as mentioned about the ps3 controller, that I simply love to death. The PS button, no other system has this incorperated into their midsts. This button allows you to reset the system, check battery levels, and turn the console off from across the room no wires, by far the most inovative idea. So for vibration loss at the moment over the other console's I can most definetly cope till they resolve the sensor interferience for vibration feedback, because the PS button is very promissing for other features later on, and now.

Didiek	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I think it's about a passive action by Sony, while their competitor (Microsoft) are act aggressively in order to win the competition. In the past, we knew that the amount of sales of PS2 is greater than xbox.. However, now xbox 360 has offered such a great game with amazing graphics which has been attracted xbox 360's fanboys, I don't know about Sony in the long-term (1 or 2 years more time).. Let's see what happen next, in fact, Sony don't want to be a loser.. :) regards Reply

Anonymous	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post They could've enabled a switch button for the rumble. Meaning that, whenever, inside the game, u turn the sensors off you could still feel the rumble thing... And whenever the sensors are on the rumble is off. Easy eh?... Reply

loki gb	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post you can buy an adapter for next to nothin that lets you plug PS2 pads into your PS3 so if your really gonna lose sleep over the PS3 pad stick with the PS2 pad, simple! Reply

loki gb	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post the fact that you can install other operating systems on the PS3 is enough for me, built in wireless connection not like 360 who say wireless but another chunk of cash for the adapter, oh and you dont have to buy a plug in battery pack neither because this is also built in, Ive just traded my 360 with 14 games to get my hands on the PS3 and so far its the best choice I have ever made Reply
