Jesus.
What's with the jab at Fox News? It doesn't even make sense. In reality, it's the gun grabbing liberals who would have a problem with this controller. You're a lowly video game blogger. Stop trying to be a political hack "journalist."
Thank you.
That was both offtopic and toolish. What the hell are you blathering about?
Are you really justifying piracy?
"I assume you have facts to prove that downloading a torrent physically and permanently removes the game from the developers?"
I assume you're totally ignorant of the concept of intellectual property. People who might otherwise pay for game but decide not to because they can pirate it are physically stealing something. It's called money. Idiot.
Yes.
This. While much improved, the thumb stick placement has always been, and continues to be, terrible.
One of my biggest gripes with the Playstation series has been the controller, but I must say that it looks like Sony finally got it right this time.
@Majiebeasts "gotta love capitalism" Why are you trashing capitalism? Do you hate video games?
"They said how fun each of those games were TO PLAY not TO LOOK AT"
Well I prefer to have both which is why I will not be getting a wii u.
"Sony always have a lot to show"
Except for a console at a console announcement.
@hiddenmission
So you're saying the only core gamers are the fraction of a percent who post videos on youtube? The people who do that don't do it because they're core gamers, they do it for money. I'm not saying it's not cool, it's just not going to change online gaming significantly. This is the same reason the kinect is a gimmick. It has cool uses (UI control, video chat) but I never use it for playing games.

The weed ;)
What a fail you are.
No, it won't. The share button is what you call a gimmick. Just look at the HTC Facebook phone that came out awhile back. That had a Facebook button that was used to share stuff faster. Don't remember that being revolutionary.

Avatar has nothing to do with it. If Halo was on PS2/3, I would still be a fan. Aside from not showing the box, they spent way too much of the two hours on what is basically a "Facebook" on the controller. Yawn. As a hardcore gamer, I want to see cooler graphics, bigger environments and smarter AI. This 'casual game' era is really dumbing everything down. I don't care about social network shit, crappy Kinect games or having a tablet for a controller. <...
LOL at all these silly comments. You guys are really bending over backwards to defend this catastrophe of an announcement. Announcing a new console without having it at the announcement clearly shows that something is wrong in development. Not only is this unprecedented in consoles, but I can't think of any consumer electronic being announced without the actual product on hand. Long term I don't think this is a big deal. Look at all the media setbacks the PS3 had running up to its lau...
This guy is what I call, and not seriously, a Mastermind. Someone who knows what is best for everyone. Someone put into power by God himself to look over the stupid masses and prevent us from destroying ourselves. He is no smarter than the typical citizen. If he were he would not be a politician who doesn't produce anything useful. He would be an innovator in the private sector creating products and services that enhance our lives. This is guy is a hack.
Headline Spoiler much?!?

All you fanboys who swore up and down that the look of the box didn't sure are excited for the reveal.
