Let the bashing and wiimote copy cat comments begin...Seriously, this might actually be a good move.

Shoseki · 21 Dec 2006 at 11:29

Hmm, seems over engineered :S

Wouldn't want that on my lap.

Can i just ask you why is that?

Steedie · 21 Dec 2006 at 11:33

It would be a cool thing to use I'd imagine, but it looks absoloutley terrible

VIRII · 21 Dec 2006 at 11:33

SO it is a mouse and a left handed controller?
It doesn't have much in common with the wiimote and doesn't use accelerometers.
But it would be great for RTS and FPS.

Well, its not really a "move", its a third party device

I see what you mean. I wont be surprise to see sony do something similar to the wiimote afterall a patent has been submitted for a motion-sensing controller (or LED infusion thingy - so as to avoid lawsuit apparently)

A good "move" by the third party (perhaps funded by sony?)

Its a mouse with 4 left hand thumb buttons, with a truly horrendous looking cross between a mousemat and a TV dinner tray. How can it not be a joke?

My bad.

What about left handed people?

Jesus Wept. :rolleyes:

Send it straight to the knackers yard, it can pick up the PS3 on its way.

I predicted that in my first post. Thanks for making it come true.

'Radical new controller'

LOL

Whether it is 3rd party or not, Sony still haven't got the faintest idea!

This controller can be used to play existing games and you still have to pressing the buttons as usual like you would on Sony controller so it's nothing new. (you don't need to press button on Wii remote to hit a ball etc)

Stop trying to get everyone to like it mate

You know its a Sony product, it bombed the minute you posted it on here, you should know better by now

And you gotta admit, it does look like something they would design on Scrapheap Challenge.
I'm all for a control system like that, but not if its going to look like the Design team consisted of a load of Gorillas on LSD

Mobius 1 · 21 Dec 2006 at 11:53

Lol, is all i can say. But then again, you cant knock it untill you try it. So maybe it'll be a winner? :confused:

Sorry to insult your presious PS3 accessory.

I'm not worthy to view such a thread.

Please forgive me.

Mobius 1 · 21 Dec 2006 at 11:57
