    The Sony press conference unveiling of PS3 is at 11 tonight over here.

    Has M$ stolen it's thunder?, will Sony blow 360 out of the water?, are there any decent launch games?, will games in an advanced development stage be shown?, will there be anything new added by it to the console industry mix?, will PS3 just be more powerful?, anyone waiting for something revolutionary?

    hmmm, stay tuned, same bat channel, same bat time!

    ...and no, it ain't on mtv...thank crap.

    Although I'm really not the one to comment on mtv these days - apart from the xbox show I downloaded, I haven't seen any mtv in about 4 years...

    I take it that's a good thing yeah?

    not missing anything I'm guessing...


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭CyberGhost

    Thanks guys!

    what time is the 360 press conference on?
    it's an hour later or something, isn't it? I heard the whole backwards compatibility thing will be settled at it.

    I dont suspect the ps3 to be much more than a powerful machine, it wont be ground breaking or anything.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭madrab


    xbox conference is on at 3:30pm pst or 2:30 am our time


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭sprinkles


    In all fairness the Killers where good :D

    Ps3 better have something amazing in store. Wireless controllers a must. It should be interesting to see what the controller looks like, hopefully they ditch the inferior joypad they currently flog. Ninty have always had the best controllers imo

    Corret, inferior.

    Personally, I LOVE ps2 controller.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,836 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Pro evolution soccer is what it's all about. So whats the deal with the PS3? Better graphics or anything like that? What can we expect from the likes of pro evo?

    nothing beats the square-ability of a nes controller


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,400 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    If they use the dreadful dual shock design again i'll beat the lard out of those resplonsible. The dreadful xbox controller design is back for the 360.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭madrab


    i kinda like the xbox controller, in some ways its better tah the ps's

    never thought the gc pad was that good

    You haven't even seen the thing in person, yet alone held it. How do you know its an awful design.

    Because I'm psychically gifted and to a lesser extent because it looks the same as the s-controller.

    Never had a NES. I'd choose this baby over them all any day:

    Sega Mega Drive, bah! Thats the evolution of the MD 6 button joypad, the beautiful japanese sega saturn pad. Oh howe nice it feels in your hands like a... **** it I'm off to play radiant silvergun.


  • Registered Users Posts: 255 ✭✭Meadows


    I like the saturn pad. it has 6 front buttons and an L and R. As far as i remember it also had a start.

    never liked pads with 4 L and R buttons or only 4 buttons on the front. And whats with the square circle rubbish. It should always be ABCXYZ.
