Sony & Microsoft talk up their controllers in face of the Wii

You'd be hard pushed to find anyone who isn't excited about the new Wii controller, however the same probably can't be said for the other two console competitors. Both Sony and Microsoft, possibly inspired by envy, have started to make noises about their own controllers, namely that the PS3 controller will have a new name (no more Dual Shock) and that the 360 will soon be compatible with the PC.

The Xbox 360 controller is the most comfortable one I have ever used. It is great for all types of games. The PS2 controllor just does not feel right in my hands. Click agree or disagree so I know what you think of that.

Jakens6856d ago (Edited 6856d ago )

The Wii controllor. I will however own that system reguardless. I plan to own all three next gen systems next to each other. The one thing lacking in the PS3 cotrollor is rumble. I like that feature. Glad Nintendo has it (and the built in speaker). Maybe I will like the Wii controllor after I use it but my first thought was eww. Who knows?!

i agree, the 360 controller is soo nice. very comfortable. the best for fps, sports. the ps2 controller just is too small, doesnt feel right.

Definately the 360 controller is the tops. The dual shock doesn't comfortably fit in my hands at all. Now I know people are used to it, but so far it's been called the best controller to date.

Nuttin better than Dualshock for ps2.it`s one of those classic controllers in gaming

Marriot VP6856d ago

The dual shock isn't built for you hands, your just used to playing nothing but playstation games.

In the underbelly of the controller there's all kinds of creases, and your fingers have to hang down. Very uncomfortable, not to mention the cheap plastic feel to it.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
