I think I'll wait for Rev.2

I think Rumble and Wireless support are key, then many more would flock.

Lack of sixaxis I guess for anyone playing games that use it - Maybe PSN titles, they seem to make the best use of motion control as it's usually for simple concepts, as opposed to trying to turn a complex manoeuvre into something done with hand waving.

But hey, it seems to be the FPS crowd complaining most, they'd probably just live with cons for FPS games, and use the DS3 for other titles/genres.

I definitely don't give a stuff about Sixaxis controls, regardless of game genre. It's definitely not needed in an FPS anyway. I've managed fine without it for this long (Y)

The lack of rumble is the biggest drawback imo.

Lies, you've already told me your GOTY2009 is going to be Flower.

I'm actually looking forward to it :laugh:

Oh jeez, please tell me you're kidding lol

I suppose your next purchase will be that Japanese garden game :p

Nah Gardening ain't my thing.

It's pretty fun in Animal Crossing, but thanks to Nintendo rehashing 3 times in a row, I'm a bit burnt out on it there as well.

finally just got it today, came from Honk Kong so that could be why... Will have a review up in a few days max, but the very first downfall i see is that you need to have a Wired controller for it to work... hopefully the plug n play cord works, or it may take me awhile to get my hands on a wired controller :( i think i gave my original one to a friend or something, will have to check

Yeah we already knew that it needed a wired controller I'm sure? Anyways looking forward to it dude, but I'm pretty certain you'll need to get a wired controller. The play & charge only charges the battery. Same goes for when you use it on a PC.

I guess I zoned out on that fact, but no worries, turns out my friend gave it back to me when he gave me back a game I borrowed, so plan on checking it out as soon as work is done.

Did you try using the Play N Charge adapter for wireless? (if you have one i.e.)

So do you need to send it back DL? Or are they letting you keep it?

Did you link them to the article? What did they think/say?

I just sent it to them a little while ago, will see how they respond.

I honestly did not try that as I read it will not work, but I will for the hell of it.

I also plan on trying the Keyboard attachment and the mic although I do not expect either to work, again I will do so just to see if they do.

If they do, I will update my review, if not, I will just post here.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032, Windows 11 LTSC until 2029. So oddly enough the Windows 10 version is supported longer.
    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.

    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop

      By thartist · Posted

      This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
