I don't get it. Why not just have both?

For some reason I don´t quite believe in that.. PS2 even had online playing capabilities so why wouldn´t 3?
If the PS3 will not have any sort of online capabilities why does it have 3 Gigabit ethernet ports and IPv6 in the SDK?
Centralized online services (similar to Xbox Live) won't be provided by Sony but can and will be provided by individual game publishers. That is hardly a "PS3 won't have any online capabilities". Please research before making claims.
The PC will always own consoles so just buy what ever console has the games you want to play and i can sit with my PC and PS2 untill games come out that i want for the consoles then i will buy one
btw theres faster graphics cards for pc when compared to the console ones just came out/coming out 750mhz core and memory well over 1000 mhz
so just to shut up fan boys PC owns consoles
Control Type S. Sony has [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty analog sticks and it shows. That is why the d-pad is still where the analog stick should be. Everyone else has learned. Sony is the only one not getting with the program on that one. Cube, 360, XBox and Dreamcast all do it. Hell I argue that the N64 had it also considering the dpad wasn't used for 80% of the games.sorry but i'd rather have both stiks in thumbs reach and side by side then have a stick on one side, the dpad on the next and a stick above the dpad
And yes. FPS games are better on the PC...but I like playing games with my friends in the room so everyone getting on Halo is tons more fun then if they were not in your direct presence.
As much as I prefer the Sony Controller to the others, I have to agree on this point. Having the more often used analog stick in an awkward place can get quite aggravating.
On the other hand, other controllers tend to be a bit clunky, so... If Sony would have just switched the analog stick and the D-pad, they'd have the perfect controller.

just put more than 1 pc in the room since a comp that could run halo at max settings is pretty cheap now especially if you build it
btw i love the dualshock 2 tho i hardly use the analogue functions and stick with the d-pad 90% of the time
besides the normal d-pad is analogue its pressure sensitive remember as are the buttons

I may be in the minority on this, but I prefer the Dpad/analog stick placement on the Dual Shock. I've never found it awkward to use the analog sticks, however, once you switch it with the Dpad (as on the GC controller), the Dpad becomes extremely awkward to use since it's essentially flat making it harder to press down. Some people may have no problem with this, and I do in fact use the stick 90% of the time, but I still use the Dpad for fighting games, and I doubt I'll ever switch to be honest. An analog stick is much easier to use in that position than a dpad if you ask me.
tht how artlice thing is wrong

The Dpat/Analog stick is down to the style of game. Dpad is generally better for fighting games, while the stick is better for FPS. I use both, but Dpad more often. I find it's nicer as it's rather flat, which is good for comfort and allows for a faster change from left to right etc (you only have to change where you apply pressure rather than having to move your entire thumb) and because it's more precise when you need to go exactly up or something. Analog is better when it's not a strictly 'press up or down or left or right' scenario, though, hence the usefulness in FPS. It's notable that when navigating in FF games, I use both for different environments. Dpad is better when you're in a square-ish building environment, while analog is better when you're walking around natural environments such as mountains.

I just found it funny how this had so many supporters compared to the Revolution vs 360 thread and more fun stuff in it. I love fanbois ;o
that pretty much says it all
Definately tells me I want a 360. DC rocked.that pretty much says it all
about number 9, they talk about modeling it after a building, yet they wont say anythig about the x-box 360 im not the best at math but 360 is a perfect cirle and a box is usually a square. I have never heard of a circualr square.
It looks like the ground had a sex change.
