PS3 controller used to rumble in 1999

Jun 28th 2006 12:28AM (Joystiq Xbox)
I'm no Sony fanboy, but one thing that everybody seems to be missing is pretty big. The controller shown in this video seems to work from a gyro type sensor. The sensors that are used in the PS3 are accelerometers, similar to the controls used in the Wii. The difference is that the old PS1 controller can only sense tilt, while the PS3 will be able to sense tilt as well as panning in the X, Y, and Z directions. You can tell by the demos they did at E3 where they lifted the rubber ducky out of the water and moved it around in 3D space. It's a different technology. It's a little unfair to say that Sony already had this with the PS1.

As far as PS3 vs. 360, the deciding factor for me will be the price of the HD-DVD drive. If it's over $100 then a comperably equipped PS3 would actually be less expensive than the 360. Think about that...
