Topic: Sony US hardware announcements

dude those things are awesome!

[Guitar Smasher]

I don't know about you guys but that looks awkward...

It looked awkward before they added that keypad addition.

Yes, I feel the need to express my disdain for the DualShock at every available opportunity.  Every aspect of its design is poor.

[Adrock]

Really, Sony? Really? At least Sixaxis was a thinly veiled attempt at copying Nintendo. It's like Sony decided that their controller wasn't 360 enough so they 360'd up the Dual Shock 3 and added a thumb keyboard.... which is odd because the 360 controller is just a reshaped Playstation controller.

And I'd buy a PSP if Sony would just lower the price instead of adding things and keeping the price the same. They just keep giving me reasons not to buy one. Bang up job, Sony.

Thing is, PS3 needed the thumb keyboard.  Unless you wanted to grab a bluetooth keyboard, there wasn't any practical way to type in text (although I must say, after I got used to their predictive keyboard, I actually grew to like it).

I have no idea what Sony is doing with PSP.  Great system, but seriously Sony, stop with the incremental changes.  Somebody over there is hardware-obsessed, even for the typically hardware-obsessed Sony engineering department.

Well to be fair with Sony the PSP Slim was a fair redesign (like the DS Lite), but this design is a tad bit silly because it is proof that the PSP is about as good as it could get if all they could ad was a microphone and a better screen.

[NWR_Lindy]

I just don't see why they didn't add the new screen and microphone on the Slim.  That would have actually made sense.

Also, when referring to the predictive keyboard, I'd like to change "like it" to "tolerate it".

[Kairon]

the keyboard is sexy? I think the hot new next gen accessory is going to be a mouse or possibly an all-in-one printer.

LOL

[ReverendNoahWhateley]

Now all the controller needs is a robotic green cat to latch on somehow and you'd have VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Defender of Profit Margins!

[KDR_11k]

Destroyer of Profit Margins!

You had a misspelling there.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

you thunk so.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Top: PSP-2000
Bottom: PSP-3000

[NWR_Lindy]

I may very well grab a PSP-3000 if I have some cash lying around after Christmas.  Yeah, I'm a sucker for hardware.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Has UMD launching been improved

[DAaaMan64]

Has game sucking been improved?

[NWR_Lindy]

Has you knowing nothing about the good games in the PSP library been improved?

[Flames_of_chaos]

I think the PSP library is pretty good, not DS levels of awesome but pretty good.

[DAaaMan64]

Has you knowing nothing about the good games in the PSP library been improved?

SO HE DOES RETORT SOMETIMES.

And the PSP library sucks... for me. duh There is nothing for me to play other than maybe the GTA's, the Katamari game, WTF, and Rachet and Clank. Probably a couple more too. That's not a good price for games that are probably in the 8 point range and in the 7 point range of interest at a 160 entrance fee.

[NWR_Lindy]

And I could say the same thing about the Wii library...for me.  Just because you aren't interested in anything on the PSP doesn't mean there's nothing good there.  Lord knows people have tossed this logic at me every time I slammed the Wii library.

LOL but if you are the individual who says there is nothing good in the library, then there is nothing good in the library.  Let me put it another way, why do people need to be so wordy, careful, and annoying when they state their opinions?  I mean the only people that can't differentiate from whether that person thinks they are stating an opinion are the people that need to take a break.

Your a troll who thinks he's a messenger, so that's why you take flak. You see my bitchfests in several threads around here, but nobody tries to kill my babies cause I don't go into every thread and start **** and half the time choose not to retort when people make their points.  It's also worth mentioning that I've actually played many of the critically acclaimed games, unlike you.

Yes, he brought it up to masterful level.

[vudu]

Forgive me if this is trolling, but I still don't get why you continue on as the reviews editor when you don't like Wii games. 

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Cuz as a reviews editor he's played them all and they're all bad.

Then apply this logic to me when I say I'm not pleased with something.  It's my opinion.  I just happen to pull no punches, which people don't like, and I get called a troll for it.  <shrug>

Sometimes it's just better to let a thread die, rather than continue a pointless tit-for-tat pissing contest.  It solves nothing, creates ill will, and generally brings down the boards on the whole.  If that's means "I lose the thread" (LOL), then that's fine.  I don't care, I really don't.

It's also worth mentioning that I've actually played many of the critically acclaimed games, unlike you. 

Like what?  I've played almost every critically-acclaimed Wii game out there.

I'm a good editor, that's why.  Despite what you may think of me based on my forums presence, I care a lot about this site, do a lot for it on a day-to-day basis, and try my hardest to help the rest of the staff bring you guys quality reviews.  At the end of the day, that's why I'm here.

You get called a troll because you go into SEVERAL threads, MAKE THE SAME POINTS AGAIN.  (This thread for example., mind you the thread isn't even about Nintendo! Or their failures! WTF) Then post again may ONCE OR TWICE in the thread, saying nothing but the same thing.  Then you go into a thread like Wandering's or one of Ian's bitchfest threads and talking about how we don't understand or we're dumb! WTF

Firstly, see above. Tit-for-tat is applicable cause you say the same points over and over!  TRUST ME, WE ALL KNOW _YOUR OPINION_. YOU NEED NOT CONTINUE.  I have repeated this several times.

You've "played" them. Ya considering your JUST getting rolling with Galaxy, I'd barely say you can relate to how the rest of us feel.  I'm pretty sure you JUST started something else too.
