Sixaxis controller is worth its weight (PS3 annoyance #002)

Nov 20th 2006 3:32PM (Joystiq)
We got played. We bought a buggy, glitchy inferior product with promises of grandeur. The term I like to use is "You just got Windowed". Windows is always buggy because they know they can fix it through the firmware. So all you people with PS3 problems, like me you will have to wait for Sony to go from Version 1.0 to 1.1 or 2.0 however they do it.

Sixaxis controller is worth its weight (PS3 annoyance #002)

you guys need to stop the hating. 360 controllers can switch to different channels on a 2.4ghz spectrum. there is no resynching a 360 controller and even when you do synch you still don't have to make any physical connection. And I have Sony Location Free to watch my dvr on my psp and it still doesn't interfere with my 360. Now for the PS3 which is damn near the same thing. they both go on 2.4ghz frequencies so maybe you guys are going too far from the console. The only downfall about the 360 and PS3 are they are both behemoth dinosaurs. Using "first to use untested" chip(s), 3 chips welded to one chipset is proposterous. Which is why Nintendo is waiting until next year to release the HD Wii. Neither company can control all that power (and heat) exuming from those chips. and by next year Flash based drives will have more capacity, memory will be smaller but faster. And please somebody work on these power hungry power supplies that will spike your electric bill. If you own a PS3 or 360 (like myself) YOU ARE A SUCKER. The same way Xbox 360 before launch boasted HD quality everything then at the launch it's "oh in about 6 months you'll start to see 1080p games released" So yes neither 360 nor PS3 are fully blown HD devices yet (they will be thanks to your neighborhood friendly firmware update)

720p PS3 games downscale on older HD sets [update 1]

Here's another tidbit your best bet is to get the vga cables because they allow 720p throughput. Trust me I tried. I tried a 1080i tv with a dvi-in so I got a dvi to hdmi converter (Monster Cable) and it still wasn't as good as when I used the VGA cable. The worst was using the standard cables. I can never go back now

Joystiq Cares: Please rethink waiting in PS3 lines

Nov 16th 2006 10:43AM (Joystiq)
Play-Asia has been selling PS3's since last week. That's where I got my 360 from last year when all you fools were on line for that and for $349 for the jap commemorative pack that came with a game. A friend ordered his and got it already. I refuse. I was already duped once. These companies are releasing inferior and incomplete products as well as games because they know they can firmware update us. Not 1 PS3 or 360 game for that matter is in 1080p Sony is talking the same crap 360 was at launch "oh in 6 months you should start seeing the good quality games" so your telling me these games are what "not good" or just not good enough for a PS3 and if so, why not wait.

Here's another work around. Go purchase the new oXM which has Rainbow Six Vegas on it.

Lumines denied, Live still buggy

Oct 18th 2006 11:22AM (Joystiq Xbox)
Never mind all that. here's a complaint for you. Why aren't any of these "Arcade" Titles 2-player they are only 2-player vs. CPU or play your friend on live head-to-head. Maybe I would like to play bejeweled, uno or lumines with my wife. And yes I know I can if I connect to 360's together but that is just stupid.

Gamers in trouble: G4 moves to E!

Oct 13th 2006 11:32AM (Joystiq)
Yes I agree. Not to say I miss Nome or Leo Leport when it was TechTV but at least when it was techtv it dealt with technology, computers and video games, now it deals with old "nobody wants to see anymore" syndicated shows. The gaming shows must come on in the wee hours of the night because I swear everytime I turn to G4 i see Star Trek

What are you playing: use the Force edition

Totem Ball (not too much but gradually getting hooked)

That should be on XBLA: Solomon's Key

Solomon's key is classic . . . I can't believe it . . . I actually played this game for hours and hours when I was a kid. I would love to see it on live

Console games make list of 10 things you shouldn't buy new

Aug 22nd 2006 11:22AM (Joystiq)
I buy games from Play-asia, cheapassgamer and after price drops. That's why I just bought Ridge Racer for the 360 but I never buy any game new or used from EBgames or gamestop, same difference. Even if you buy a new game most of the time they crack the plastic and put the cd and book in a small ziploc
