PS3 Fanboy

It'll happen... the PS2 rumble with 1.70 was the fist step in the post-lawsuit relationship.

This is what I see will happen.

announcement soon, but with combination of PS3 120GB version that will include

*Silver version
*Rumble feature controller
*HDMI cable
*upscale for regular DVD and games.

and it will sell during Christmas for 599.. the current version (60GB) will be lowered to 499.

now, that'd be sweet.

"ShockAxis" controller, there I said it, done, that should be the name of the controller...

yeah, but how soo do we have these controllers in our hands. and how soon will developers use the funtion? will mgs4, and heavenly sword use it? will popular games like motorstorm and resistance be backwards patched to support it?

is this the same "weights on a cheap motor" form of rumble or will we see something more advanced? if it's a gyroscopic force feedback than a name like "spinaxis" might be more appropiate. perhaps "mo-shock" for a more rumble centered name. will the price of an already expensive $50 controller go up? gamers want to know!

Yet another company that says something else, but does it anyway. It's not a bad thing, it's actually good for ps3 owners. Just saying i'm getting tired of BS of companies saying one thing and doing the oppisite. That goes for any company anywhere, (not just sony). Also if you are one of the people that said that they hated rumble and that it was past non-needed technology. You're a hypocrite for being excited over this. (Not saying anyone that posted here before this, is. Just saying if you were one of them don't even say, "OMG, I'm so going to buy it.")

End of rant.

Good news though.

Apparently PS3 fanboys aren't aware of what a palindrome is, if you didn't catch on to Nick's attempt, I'll help you out.

A Palindrome is spelled the same way forwards and back. Hence his RUMBLBMUR.

SonYnoS .. ShocKcohS

Things like that. Both are horrible, but at least when you go to bed tonight you'll know what a Palindrome is.

Your welcome.

Man, that would kinda suck for me since I just now brought 60gb version.

I hope that they just make another sixaxis with rubmble built in. They can start shipping the new 120GB versions with the new controllers.

It'll probably end up being a jazzed version of SixAxiS 2. Probably something like:

SixAxi2

or 2ixAxiS

So the '2' matches the S on either side. This would most likely be the case, as they wouldn't want a whole new brand out of nearly the same device.

Well, as someone who keeps tabs on most things that go on in the gaming world, I can tell anyone reading this that the PS3 already has the capability to upscale DVDs, and this will NOT be an option in a future version of the console, as it's standard. Not to say that it has been IMPLIMENTED, just that they're all capable of doing it already. Word on the street says May firmware will unlock the scaler, which means all games should play in any resolution, and Blu-Ray should do the same (goodbye 1080/480 Blu-Ray problem)... Also look for some kind of implimentation of IPTV before christmas. The future is looking kind of bright...

Does this mean that we can stop hearing complaints about lack of rumble, and move on to complaints about buying a new controller now? In that vein, how about the "flamemagnet"; not a palindrome, but it's an appropriate name.
As for a "new" ps3, I hope Sony was smart enough to see the reaction to the xbox elite overall, and just drop the price on the 60gb to $500. Add anything you want to that package (cheap hdmi cable to placate complainers?), just get the price in line with the elite.




...actually I sort of like 2ixAxiS...

Six-BIG FUCK OFF RUMBLE-AXIS

Andrew: I'd love to know whoever you get your info from. There will be no firmware update to "unlock the scaler" - because the PS3 doesn't HAVE hardware scaler. So unless they completely change how the PS3 runs (and make the last SPE do nothing but scaling operations instead of running the XMB), games will NEVER get scaled like that. It's a completely different situation for DVD playback though, because there's so much free processing power. For what it's worth, I really think Sony (after pushing all this "1080p is the only HD" crap) insist that all developers code their games to output at at least 1080i.

My suggestion for the new Sixaxis - SomanydynamoS. Hey, it almost makes sense, since a dynamo is basically a backwards motor.

Dualshock SA or SixAxis DS should be fine. They would probably go with the latter since it puts more emphasis on the SixAxis name.

Call it the AFTERSHOCK.
