OMG, PlayStation 3 Controller Spelling Mistake

Kotakuite Oly hit Sony's super swish Ginza showroom, which was not only displaying the PlayStation 3 for all to see, but a glaring spelling error. Instead of "SELECT", the PS3 controller reads "SERECT". This might not be breaking game news, I just thought it was a bit funny :)

[PS360PCROCKS]

lol what a dumb news post, but um serect haha that's funny you would think they know how to spell select by now

[Shadow Flare]

haha thats funny man, imagine if the nintendo Wii had a sERECT button bahaha

[Arsenic13]

its funny how sony rips off 360 and wii controller.guide and motion sensor.

[Retard]

"Keep your comments relevant to the news story."

Please explain; are you stating that Sony is ripping off Nintendos' and Mircosofts ability to make misspellings?

[Marriot VP]

nothing says last minute than that.

[HyperBear]

That just goes to show how stupid sony really is. Cant even spell "Select", cause their worried PS3 will bomb sooo badly.

[DG]

Forget all that why the hell isn't the controller shiny like the PS3 case?

[schnodder]

maybe it's a photoshop trick.

[jiggajayp]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha!!!! Ok ps3 fans serect your games lol!

[PS360PCROCKS]

wow some of you are so lame lol

[MONOLITHICIDE]

yea thats what im thinking 2 schnodder

[Fallen Seraphim]

Well, apparently you aren't too bright either. Your "their" should actually be "they're." And the word "so" only has one O. Also, not to mention your horrible sentence structure......

I personally think it is a photoshop trick.

[shotty]

It's a secret function which unlocks 4D.

[SjaakHaas]

That would be awsome! Manipulating time is still taboo tough.

[Retard]

good 1

[schnodder]

so finally they spelled the word "secret" wrong :-)

[MONOLITHICIDE]

its definitely done by photoshop because ive saved a pic from E3 and it says Select on the controller so that means some 360 hating homo did that..............trust me its not real

[SjaakHaas]

I think the error lies in its origins.
Asian tend to swap the R and L.

"Do you want some LISE?"
"Prease pless SERECT to continue"

[FamoAmo]

We'll its 1 thing Sony didn't copy!! I think they went for originality on the serect!!

[SjaakHaas]

maybe they meant SECRET instead of SELECT! :P

[Codeman420]

both companys cant spell these days first it was MS with TRHU on their xbox live diamond cards now this. Wonder wat nintendo will do

[schnodder]

nintendo did Wii

[Droidbro]

that's the way the japanese pronounce select. Serect!

[OutLaw]

They must of had SSj04 write the word for them. LOL

[Retard]

He can even cut himself a break.

:(

[USMChardcharger]

that was a good one outlaw

[schnodder]

i knew ssj is working for sony :-)

[The_Firestarter]

I doubt it's a misspelling... it's what we call engrish and serect sound just fine to me. When I say the word "serect" in my mind I think of that one Chinese guy in South Park."[email protected] you Mongorian, stop breaking my shiiy waal." lol j/k j/k I mean no offense.

[Retard]

An IED implement.

[kingboy]

i`ll like to get keep a controler like that

[PS360PCROCKS]

haha maybe that's it, maybe it just sounds right to them

[PS360PCROCKS]

kinda reminds me of the doll movie, team america or whatever, where the little chinese guy slurs all his words

[jesstray]

Here is a link to the actual controller. http://www.gamespot.com/e3/...
I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows it is photoshoped. However, the 360 will still PWN the PS3.
360 RURES, err Rules!!!

[PS3 Owns All]

Check this out... http://media.lethbridgecoll...

looks pretty cool

[360theAssasinsCreed]

That actually wouldn't be a bad design option for the PS3 controller, but i think they are set on the good ol' (former dualshock) PS2 controller, but that concept wouldn't be bad at all. I also like the light up button feature that is suggested in the models something for SONY and MICROSOFT to think about doing on their next consoles.

[Schmitty07]

...probably a photoshop

[Islandkiwi]

Of course it's photoshopped. But it's funny.

[Killswitch]

Lets say PS3 was a Child that stole something and Xbox360 was the person that witness it. And they lived around the corner from your father house Mr.Nintendo, and got their to snitch on you before you could get their,So when you arrived home you got a beating from your father that you'll never for get. So an hour after the beating an the tears go away. The Minor(PS3) ask his Father (Nintendo) how did you know daddy the Nintendo said PS3 the Snitch(MS)told me! Ms.Microsoft. Now theres a lesson to be learned out of this? If you steal you will get caught and you'll have to suffer the consequences...

[mikeeno7]

Read the forum rules. Then you will see that 98% of people do not follow them on this site. Dusty, please ban them and then allow the 'real' gamers on the site, cos this registering buisness has not solved the original problem, there are still existing retards...

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

LOL how pathetic are this poor Xbugs? Are they really that desperate to photoshop pics and post it as news? ROFLMFAO

[TheMART]

I think Sony Ken got an S(uper) Erect(ion) of the new images of Gears of War and that's how the controller came to be like this

[THE TRUTH]

THis isn't news or anything else them someone trying to be funny. It should be listed as FUNNY because no way in hell would I ever believe any company as big as SONY would ever make this mistake. Anyone, Xbox fan PS fan Nintendo fan or PC fan who would even begin to believe this must be ignorant. Seriously anyone could make this up on photoshop come on gamers let's please be real. News post like this just discredit this whole damn site, and make us all look childish. DAMMIT PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bill Nye]

It's funny, but really not that surprising. This type of mistake happens all the time in Japan as a result of their language lacking the proper 'L' phoneme. The closest thing they have are 'Ra, Ri, Ru, Re, Ro' which are sometimes pronounced as 'La, Li, Lu, Le, Lo' (kudos to whoever might recognize this from a certain popular PS2 game).

[tom1595]

silly people, have a look at the pics on the sony website, they clearly say "select" not "serect". this is just some stupid little joke by a racist kid out there.

[TheMART]

Ofcourse it's fake, but it stays funny. Normally it's the other way around and Asian people say Lise instead of Rise, so this joke is just plain funny

[FeralPhoenix]

Stop complaining. If posters want to make a joke let them. Why the hell do people take this stuff so personal?...who cares if there are a few idiots that only intend to come here to start the "flamming" or whatever its called. I think its way over the top to say that 98% of the posters don't follow the rules...there are alot of good posts, even if they are not specifically about the topic, just let people speak their minds and make a point if they have one and if a poster is just plain stupid and doesn't make any sense then, usually other posters will expose him for the idiot he is and if he's one of the low-lifes that is simply here to spew offensive language and personal attacks then of course he will get banned. Even in your own post you called them "retards", which is fine, they probably are so why not laugh at them for the "retards" they are or maybe offer them some helpful advice?...either way don't take it so seriously its just a videogame site, calm down and relax its not going to solve any real life problems.

[Xtrm L1481L1TY]

LOL That's a crassic.

[dpballes]

Fake or not I find it highly amusing. I pity anyone who tried to use this story for a flame war.
