I kind of agree, it reminds me of the snooze button. Of course we should just build up our self discipline/self control but sleeping in for $2.50 has gotta be tempting sometimes..
First he's on american idol, then he's at the mavericks game, get working on the knight rider move already!!

I'm amazed how much negativity there is surrounding the PS3. It has done everything I hoped it to be except the price. It has a standard HDD, something people knocked it for forever in 2005 and that the 360 would have it standard (funny how they switched there). The interesting tilt+movement controller that noone seems to care about but I thought it was neat, except everyone has to bash it for being copied from Nintendo to which we don't have proof of. And then the linux+homebrew idea that they have sort of touched on sounds potentially cool, where John Carmack himself said if Sony does it right the PS3 can be an Amiga type PC, which is a computer people loved and still has a fanbase to this day. I have hope for it, there are so many things in life that were criticized and bashed hard before release, Sim City, The Sims, Star Wars, etc... it'll be interesting to see.
and in the bathroom hehehe, but also I think people overlook the fun of playing a portable at home, maybe its because I'm nearsighted and don't like glasses but I enjoy playing a title or two in my bed.
Sony's arrogance isn't going to shift billions of dollars around because consumers didn't like a company's attitude. If the playstation 3 works, it works.
a lot of the good DS games like Castlevania, Mario Kart, Mario & Luigi, Tetris DS, New Super Mario Bros, did not really use the touch-screen and when they did it wasn't really anything.
I think ultimately third parties "got" the DS when they heard Nintendo sold 17 million of them:)
PS3 and Wii's controllers can detect movement along x/y/z axis.
The Logitech Gamepad Wingman Extreme and Microsoft Freestyle controllers can only detect tilt, meaning, 3 degrees of freedom. PS3 and Wii are 6 degrees of freedom. Wii however has a sensor bar to detect position as well.
my dream is that Google or the linux community contributed to a kickass operating system for the PS3 so that it could do e-mail/web surfing/word processing etc and tried to make it the most userfriendly of operating systems.
but alas I dream
I think they could work out a deal, like all theatres get a percentage of the DVD sales or something. And when you see the movie in a theatre you get a discount on the DVD, and you're able to buy it as you leave.
I agree I loved the 2d era simply because it was much simpler and when you died you could only blame yourself. In 3d games like splinter cell and metal gear solid, when you see bullets shooting at you off the screen it doesnt feel as fair as falling into a spiked pit in megaman.

I can take all this bad news from sony if they just opened up the PS3/PSP for homebrew. This would make it all worth it for me.

that was tilt sensing not motion sensing

If you thought the third party support for gamecube was small...
