Admitting defeat on the internet is not an option.

I've saved this quote and will use it until the day I die.

After getting the S2 for Christmas, it seems safe to say that the people complaining about Android are the ones who used the past OS. I'll agree that in the past Android was worse, but with the release of the Nexus and S2, iOS is the one playing catch up.

Well naturally considering it has a dual core processor. Iphone's have dropped down to 18% of the smart phone market share, so who cares. It's just like the 90's all over again. (Pc and Mac)

You can fix that :P

I'm all ears friend.

I was posting on a thread about 360 controllers on pc about the various controllers I can plug in and play on my PS3. I was just wondering what other little tricks the consoles have that seem everyday but some people might have missed.

Anyway here is mine, the following are controllers that I've plugged into my PS3 and used outright. ( No modding )

The cable remote worked on the PS2 slim only. ( Crazy huh?)

They should make the PS3 in Mexico with parts from China like the Xbox. Shaden who? I just looked it up and apparently it's not supposed to be capitalized when used as a loanword. But hey I do like it.

Well said. As for the PS3 being made in China I figure that's a given. I was just poking at Zaibach for the term " They (sony) are not American."

But if it works only in game menus... Then how is it of any use?

I apologize if I'm not being clear in my explanation. I'll try again. If I plug a logitech into my PS3, everything works just as if I plugged in a Dualshock controller. The buttons are the same, the joysticks work the same, everything the exact same. But let's say I plug in a joystick and play Ace Combat. If I want my missiles to be button six, I can't do that unless the menu in the game lets me. ( On my computer of course this is 100% customizable) So if I am using an odd controller, such as an old computer controller with just a d pad or a big azz joystick, I'm at the mercy of how the ps3 interprets the buttons. It will give everything on the controller a function, just sometimes not what I want. For example the joystick I normally use: The stick is the left analog stick, the x and y axis paddles are the right analog stick, and x,o,triangle, and square are the various joystick buttons.

So to wrap it up- The controllers work just fine to play the games- If the controller is an odd controller you may lose a couple of buttons.

I was saying years ago that if the psp came with the function to be a phone it would be perfect. As for smartphones getting rid of handhelds, I don't picture it any time soon. This is because as smartphones get more and more advanced, the developers load more and more crap on them. Right now my phone is running telenav, drive smart, double twist, and qik to name a few. All of which I don't use, I have to manually close them out every time I turn my phone on. Since the smartphone attempts to encompass everything, they have to be manufactured for just that. Sure they will advance incredibly fast, but so will the apps that you run on them. Meanwhile a handheld will be focused on games and do just that.

[QUOTE="Bahamutmega"] Granted I can't map out the controls except for in games menus.starjet905

Well a dual stick logitech works the exact same as a dualshock. And a Microsoft controller with just a D pad (old pc controller) works great for PSone games and such. The point is instead of shelling out fifty bucks for a new controller I can spend ten and get a logitech which does the exact same thing, except for the cord being there. However the wireless Logitechs go for $20-$30, and yes those work too.

I don't think the Wii U will tank but I doubt it will have the success of the Wii. As a parent I wouldn't buy my kids this console because they would break the controller within days. I wouldn't buy the console for myself because I don't enjoy Zelda or Mario games. I hope that Nintendo raises the bar for the future consoles but I honestly think the 360 and PS3 have several more good years in them. Even after the new Xbox and Playstation come out the same year usually belongs to the predecessors. (Nes vs Snes, Snes vs Ps, Ps2 vs Ps, Xbox360 vs Ps2)
