xbox360fanboy.com — No need for 360 fanboys to waste energy mocking the "revolutionary" PS3 controller for being sadly inferior to a 7 year-old product that worked with Warhawk on the PS1 when Playstation Magazine is producing humiliating videos like this.

This is a prime example of why you should never just copy and paste a website's description. Worst blurb ever.

"Vanda, the difference is that this is a technology news site. Not a videogame fanboy site. This article was written by a fanboy site and the majority of people discussing it here are fanboys."2 things there, this is technology but digg is no longer a technology only site, it is news site for what can only be called 'net culture' however this was posted under the GAMING catagory, and look at that, it is about GAMINGalso you say the majority of people discussing it, whats that, there are a lot of people discussing it, so a lot of people are interested in it, and a lot of people think it is news worthy, newsworthy on here under the GAMING catagoryalso you are abusing the report system because you state that you mark any fanboy article as spam, and Im sure all of them didnt have lots of ads (which isnt spam anyway so your argument for this one is void)if you want news only you are interested in, find it yourself (or dont click the stories you dont want to read) if you want stories that lots of people find interesting, come to diggand to end it all of, you are a self important jackass

@MikeCampoEspecially if you're flaming someone, you need to indicate whose comment you are responding to. You could have been calling ANY of us retarded. There's no way for anyone to know who you meant, and that is retarded.

a motrion-sensing controller is nothing new, and {I seriously doubt] nether Sony NOR Nintendo were the first to think of it (no stolen points there), but what Nintendo IS doing is being the first to adopt the technology in the standard-issue come-with-the-system controller, making it a core part of their game design and marketing... and THAT is what deserves kudos (despite my skepticism about such type of controllers)

Immersion patented the rumble vibration, nintendo used it in their controllers and claimed it was different enought not to infringe patent Immersion had.Sony saw this and used rumble without paying Immersion as well, but now Immersion are suing Sony for the money. Microsoft paid Immersion for the Xbox vrumble and Xbox360 rumble, they also paid Immersion some money so that if they came to an aggreement with Sony that wasn't suing them, Microsoft would get a huge cash payment, also if they didn't sue Sony then Microsoft would get huge payment.Sony then said we won't use any rumble and anyway it doesn't work with tilt sensing, lol. and Immersion will get no money, so we both lose. Then Immersion said in a press release, we have a rumble already built for "some console" that will work with Tilt sensing, and our revenue stream will drop without "unnamed comapny" buying our product.So Immersion can't stop suing Sony or they have to pay Microsoft a huge penalty in cash. Sony can't use Immersions rumble even though it will work, because of Microsoft and because they are pissed off at Immersion. Microsoft can use Rumble and are making Immersion sue Sony, even though it will cost Immersion more money in lost sales to Sony.

That really does look quite tiring for your wrists as opposed to the Wiimote.

Microsoft is developing a matrix type camera component set that allows you to use your hands and fingers to control objects on the screen. It uses two cameras, one in front and one to the side to map a 3D image. From what I saw the calibration looks very accurate. If they do release this (which they probably will) it will be compatible on you PC as well. I'm much more excited about this than PS3 motion sensing controller.

Dude, in the last sot of him playing Gran Turismo or whatever for like, two seconds, the controler is DEFINATLY not plugged in.

you are spam.

Ummm...I don't know what you're talking about?I'm talking about how there was some controversy over the Dual-Shock controllers and their rumble features being copy righted.

I'm pretty sure you didn't "purchase Office because [you] [had] to". There were many other options, like openoffice or migrating to linux and getting koffice. Perhaps you didn't want to "waste your time" or maybe you're rich and you just had money to spend. This brings me to my next point, since you say you're a "casual gamer" (twice), you're not intending to go against your word and become an early adopter by spending the full price on a next-gen console are you? Please, if you're trying to do a half-ass boycott on Microsoft, don't just bash them, actually start using an alternative operating system. Also if you're going to downplay your gaming behavior, you probably shouldn't be suggesting that you'll be buying a next-gen console anytime soon since a "casual" gamer usually doesn't buy a system the instant it comes out. My suggestion to you is to wait for all this pre-console-release-rants to fade away and wait for the other more "hardcore gamers" to give their opinions after about 6 months when each console will be thoroughly scrutinized and the prices drop to a "casual gamer" price when you can actually decide (hopefully fairly easily) on the console you wish to purchase
