You got your Xbox 360 controller in my PS3


Recommended Posts

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.

Larry's got his review up for anyone not looking at the front page: https://www.neowin.net/news/gamers/09/01/14...-adapter-review

Thank you sir. (Y)

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.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
