Your either new here (your UID is too low for that) or just another Sony PR troll. For an irrelivent company it sure got Sony to react with a bad controler resdesign. I wish I had modpoints to mod you as troll.
Did you even care to watch the Sony demo from E3 of Warhawk or are you just a Sony PR troll? It was funny as hell watching them play that game (not to mention all the other gimicks they rolled out after saying they will resort to gimicks). They were jerking the controler around like crazy and were haveing a fairly hard time with it. Not to mention when I went looking for it on the Sony floorspace at the convention it was mysteriously unavailable for play. Thier acceleromiter is the gimick here (without any force feedback btw). I had the Wii controler in hand and it was just damn fun to play with and very responsive (which does have force feedback).
Donky Kong 64: 32MB
Perfect Dark: 32MB
And actually I do have every N64 game made. They are on my Xbox and there are a number of romsets for any console that isn't CD based (full sets for NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari, etc). Only games I could be missing is a few obscure Japanese games, but thats it. You may have been thinking of the games in mb form which they were marketing a cart based games as back then, but still your computations would be off. 32MB Perfect Dark = 8*32=256mb
Ooops...looks like were both wrong. I just checked my collection of N64 roms (every game made) and 3 games max out at 64MB: RE2, Pokemon Stadium, Conker's Bad Fur Day; 2 at 40MB: Paper Mario & Ogre Battle 64; and the rest are 32MB and below (average size is 16MB).
Please do a little "research" in the future. Just because journalists don't do that anymore doesn't mean we don't need to. The Wii will come with 512MB flashrom and I believe it's also setup for SD cards or similar. The classic download games I think top out at 16MB I think on the N64 so theres quite a bit of room there. When your console doesn't try to be an "everything to everyone" console you don't need 20-60gigs that jacks the price up. Who knows maybe they'll release a "cheap" HD add on for the hardcore. Probably a pipe-dream, but it's Nintendo.

You don't have a clue about electronics do you? iPod life per charge is 8-12 hours. PSP life right now is a laughable 4-6 hours per charge if your lucky. Toss an HD in there and it'll be even more gamegear-like where it'll likely drop the PSP's life down to half that and make it even heavier (not to mention substantially hotter). Please...in the future do think before typing up such insaine ideas. Solid state memory is here to stay with such systems. Moveing parts require far too much energy.
lol...those headphone jacks can be repaired without too much hastle if the jack just worked it's way loose (the solder job was weak). If you have any experience with a solering iron whatsoever it should be a walk in the park. I've repaired a number of headphone jacks thats happened to (I could always do it for you).
Actually the security of the 360 just covers the XEX file. All the other files on the disk can be modified and never checked leaving a huge backdoor for game hackers / game moders. Whats left of the 360s security pretty much keeps people from just writeing custom software at this point. Shouldn't be too much longer before that too is cracked however. Though not likely it'll be as wide open as with the Xbox.
That would be because you either are laying on the bullshit and haven't actually played any or haven't played games like Red Steel, the new Zelda, Mario, or even seen the turning setup they had at the Nintendo booth. I am excited is all I gota say.
So whats Sony going to "tour" with? Those of us who attended E3 know that:
A. PS3 is nothing more than a case thats now bigger than the original Xbox (roughly twice the size it was last shown as at CES).
B. What could maybe considered the PS3 is nothing more than 4U POS rackmount servers because Sony doesn't even have it worked out yet how it'll all go together.
C. The games shown at E3 are a damn joke.
D. The acceleromiter is a taked on joke fanboys will love since it means no rumble motor since it's so "last generation."
E. Look at Sony's booth then look accross the isle to Nintendo's booth. You see the biggest line in E3s history at Nintendo's booth just to play the Wii (went to the other corner of the convention hall) which the booth was also packed just for DS games and Sony's booth was fairly empty. Plus thier line for whatever the hell they had was basically half an hour wait at Sony's booth.
F. The only good thing about Sony this year was thier afterparty and it was mediocre.
And on a sidenote. If the PS3 DOES launch somehow this year I will be amazed. However it will be plauged with massive problems like heating issues. Which has been thier number one problem outside of getting good yeilds on the cell processors. It takes ALLOT of cooling to keep that many processing units from melting without makeing the system sound like it's takeing off like a jet-engine when it gets turned on. But like it matters. Sony fanboys will defend that console to the bitter end. I would too if I dropped $600 on a console w/o a couple games & controlers.
I'm just back from E3 (made a stint to 6 Flags afterwards) and the Wii controler is just too much fun. The new Zelda is fun. You actually pull back like with a bow & arrow (and theres so much more) and the speaker inside the controler makes a noise when it's back far enough. MMmmm Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Did I mention store managers anywhere (who have no problem getting into E3 this year btw)? NO...I mentioned clerks who have ZERO effect on the decision makeing process past a piddly internal survey. Clerks that go to E3 are there for "Love for the Act of Gaming." Even Gabe & Tyco at PA feel the same.
Give it three thumbs down and if it still keeps getting into your suggestions and it annoys you that much just turn off the suggestions. My Tivo continualy records crap I so don't like (I have eclectic tastes) and stuff I've watched allready. No need for suggestions there. A DVR is so you can watch TV and then walk away. Not channelsurf watch more (suggestions), but thats how I see it.
Let me rephrase that then. I know the average Japanese person is taugh Japanese (I'm currently studying Japanese) and in the end comes out knowing basic words. What I'm getting at though which you seem to have almost entirely missed is that the word Revolution is pretty hard to pronounce by the average Japanese person (heck my Japanese teacher has a hard time saying it). RRRRRR
Actually I am industry (not press) and there is a convention for the "non-industry" folk of stocking clerks (if they want to affect purchaseing decisions they need to talk to management E3 is an oportunity to expose management to what they buy) that have zero buisness being at E3. It's called PAX. E3 is an oportunity to show off to the rest of the industry and get developers published by companies that otherwise would never have a chance to look at thier product efficiently (I actually used to serve as a gopher of sorts one year giving a couple VPs of a publisher for input on what was at E3). Last year Rockstar didn't even have a public presence because of the devolution of E3. Thier booth was fenced off and everything went on inside of a bunch of busses. E3 has been going downhill by the way and the press has had nothing to do with that. Last year almost half the people there were the people I spoke of that had no buisness being there so generaly exibitors, materials and "swag" were not as eaisy to get to since they were usualy swampped with people that belonged on a messageboard asking questions. As such many developers kept stuff off the floors. You personaly sound like someone whos just pissed that E3 was harder to get in this year and couldn't go. Go troll somewhere else AC.
Have you ever heard a Japanese person that's never studdied English attempt to say the word "Revolution?" That word is damn near impossible to pronounce in Nintendo's native country.
E3 without boothbabes would = heaven for those of us who are going. I'm there for games and meeting old friends in the industry. Not for tits. Show me those at the nightly parties instead damnit!
Well E3 last year well...sucked...it sucked due to Microsoft getting the indutry changeing to a new console way the hell too soon and they let just about anyone in last year. Stocking clerks, joe-gamer, cosplayers, ya know...people that should be reading gameing sites who really have nothing to do with the industry. As such, far too much stuff was "behind closed doors" and the quota of "swag" to "tits on legs" was far out of puportion. *shoots Gizmondo and Nokia and evil glare for starting the problem* This year however is a launch year which is going to get each of the three companies in a bit of a war for attention shall we say? 360 didn't launch last year (they showed a few games on G4s) and they are going through a "relaunch" right now because it's doing so badly (there is a market outside the USA). I certainly hope it's as good as the last launch year we had. I just hope I'm not deaf afterwards again (2000 was the last launch year I think...E3 has gone downhill ever since...I almost went home after the first day last year).
Yes and in order to determine which products that problem may happen with would require the formatin of a 3rd party to check each product extensively for months before it could hit the shelf (since you can't trust the company to say something bad about themself afterall). Guess what'd happen? Products would be very slow to market and end up costing as much as the skimpy $60 warranty more due to the extra BS and you'd still end up with littigation due to some 10% defect thing thats STANDARD. Think a little about the economics before typeing up such bullshit. Actually just think a little and then STFU.
So what your saying is you want cigarette style warnings on ALL product packages you buy? Thats almost entirely unfeaseable. Product packaging is there to sell you. Review sites are there to warn you of pitfalls like that. It's the consumer's fault if they can't be bothered. It is eaisier to littigate afterall I guess in this country.

Or they could just go buy a Wii & 10 games or a 360 & 4 games for the price it's cost to buy a PS3. Hmmmm choices...
Amen! Wish I had mod-points right now.

Don't forget the rumble has been REMOVED because it's "so last generation" but more because it interferes with the acceleromiter.
