A Questionable Design Choice
Posted by Ray @ 11:28 am
So it seems I was a bit premature in drooling over the XBox 360, because Sony announced their PS3… and its features are impressive. Some highlights include:
Full backwards compatibility with the PS1 and PS2, something which the XBox doesn’t have.
Built-in wireless, just like the XBox 360. And it connects with the PSP!
Up to 7 bluetooth controllers supported, versus the XBox’s 4. Party games, anyone?
Dual HDTV output. Though this is probably overkill.
Just about the only weapon the XBox 360 has is its stellar online component, as yet un-matched by anything Sony has produced.
The PS3, of course, is not without its flaws. It’s controller design is… questionable, to say the least. Sony has the dubious honour of being the sole creators of (possibly) the world’s most expensive bluetooth-controlled vibrator. I mean, look at the thing!
But hey, who am I to argue if it gets more girls playing video games?

Caleb: double action has double meanings… hurr hurr
KG: that’s why Sony is being smart, and making the PS3 support up to 7 controllers. ‘Cos you don’t want to get caught with the used one, oh no.

If u mean it doesn’t have backward compatibility with PS1 and PS2 i give you that though. NOT CLEAR, I expected better from you Beam or whatever you call urself now.
