About PS3

Did anybody have a chance to buy one at all? Cause I didn't.

1. Anyway, does anyone knows what's the 60GB HDD do? does it use to save games or what's the use of it?

Can I use an external HDD (USB) to plug on the ps3 usbport to save games? I over heard somepeople say that the 60gb internal is used to save games. Other say that it can store the game for fast load.

2. About the usb port, will it work if I plug a usb controller in it? The controller was design for pc.

2a. What do they call the new ps3 controller? Dual shock 3?

If someone find the disadvantage about the ps3, post it in here.

Nope... It's better to ask those of who own it and try it then those who post it and advertise it.

SIXAXIS is the name of the controller. Its SIXAXIS spelled backwords.

I liked "DualShake" personally, but eh.

And if you say it quickly 5 times after each other it starts to sound like sucksasses to me. Perhaps I can hold the controller in my hands today to see what it plays like. If there aren't 500 fanboys standing in the same line

SIXAXIS is Cherokee for "POS that ripsoff Nintendo but can't manage rumble". In my ancestors Chickasaw it means "sinking canoe".

I saw a video of some on an Aussie gaming show and the hosts were playing a PS3 demo with a few games. What stood out to me was the annoying sound of the analogue sticks hitting the edge of where they sit. It was really loud and kinda distracting. Not sure if the host was just wearing a mic and that's why it sounded rather loud, but it was very noticeable while playing the games.

I got to play it yesterday, and the controller is terrible. If you get a chance, try out L2 and R2. YUCK.

I like the approach. Adding some extra functionality without compromising what they already had... Except, of course, rumble, but that prolly has to do with the dualshock lawsuit.

Sony claims it's because it would affect the motion sensor when I can say with absolute certainty it doesn't bother the Wii, but the Wii's rumble isn't very strong or used often, at least so far in Zelda. Sony merely didn't want to pay for licensing.

I'm sure Sony has an Army of hardware engineers, why not just make it themselves?

They did make it themselves; unfortunately for them the technology was patented and they refused to pay for the right to use it.

I've never seen lines for PS3 kiosks here... Most people aren't too impressed with it, except for a few idiots I saw who made moronic comments about how great Motostorm looked like (stuff like "Fuck 360!" and "AMAZING!" - too bad it ran almost in slomo and didn't have a great framerate...).

I don't see how anyone can praise Motostorm, considering it's max framerate is about 15. I also find it humorous how at Best Buy, the PS3, 360, and Wii set dormant while the PS2 with Guitar Hero hooked up draws huge crowds.

I was at TRU and their 360 kiosk had the red lights of death. I thought it was hilarious.

Yeppers. Nobody plays the PS3 because the demo disc sucks ass (to play another demo you have to finish the one you're on), and it overheats constantly. The one behind the plastic case is a dummy, the real one is behind the metal door below it with NO ventilation. It overheats about every hour or so and one of us has to unlock the door and reset it.
