Playstation 3 Revealed?
 

Behold.


Looks interesting.... any ideas on the split controller? Good, bad, cool?

The split only can work if they make the right hand controm the primary movement stick. Yey for lefty-ness!
two pros and four cons (the two pros are better in my opinion)
pro
Closer to the vertual reality.
With these you could have some motion sensoring so you can use them like pistols.
(If you look back to an old thread were I said the same thing was bad, motion sensoring can just be optional)
Con
Now I have to drop one to grap popcorn (though I could pause the game)
more wires (though you could just have 1 wire that splits near the controller side)
get one controller mixed with a different one (color code them)
some one will point them down and expect something to happen in the game (but we don't care to help them)

i don't like the design of the joy myself man there making it complicated i still don't fully understand the game cube controller and now they whant us to learn this one?
i think they should have just kept the joy the way it is now maby with a few more buttens on the bottem so you could still use the ps2 ad ps1 joys and games oh well just another month of learning...the look is preaty neet thoe thats a computer image thoe you sure thats how the finnished one will look?

hmm. hooray for them with doing a bunch of speculation, but that just looks dumb. besides that, i think the split controller would be really uncomfortable. with standard controllers, you can rest your arms on something while holding the controller, or use one hand to grab a drink without putting it down. with the split thingy you really wouldn't be able to do that.

wow. did you read the stuff about the Xbox 360?
one of the things listed in the wants list was:

A remote control that turns the Xbox on and off

you gotta love that humor. anyways if anyone sees anything about the Gamecube 2 then post it up. id be nice to see what the rumors are about it

Split Controls- if they are designed the way the computer images show it would really really suck. Why?
On the left controller you have a thumbstick, a d-pad, four buttons and maybe some trigger buttons. While on the right you only have another thumbstick d-pad, two buttons and maybe some triggers. Why is this bad? Because I (and probably everyone else) am use to the movement control and the left, and the majority of actions on the right. Now games will have to have movement control on the right, or require players to take their thumbs off the d-pad and thumbsticks to use the buttons.

As far as the split controller goes, I doubt they will do it. They released the same for PS1, or maybe early PS2. Either way it was a few years ago, and it didn't do very well then, so there's no reason it should do well now.

Did you read that? Those pictures are mearly conjecture by the people at How Stuff Works. It's possible that the actual console could be miles away from what is pictured.

I didnt read anything about the split control thing from that site, unless of course, I missed something. it just seems fairly stupid to make such a drastic change so suddenly. i dont think it would work that well anyway, id probably lose half of my controller and be royally pissed.

I know they were made by the people from How Stuff Works, which is why I said IF but split controlers just seems like a really bad ideal especially IF they put so many of the control buttons on one of the controllers.
