Sony on PlayStation 3: Hard Disk Possible, Dildopad Remains!
Masayuki Chatani makes cryptic comments inside.
According to a report cropping up in Japanese gaming weekly Famitsu, the hard drive element of the PlayStation 3 might not be included with the console as standard: shock news, as this feature was heavily touted during E3.
Sony Computer Entertainment chief technical officer Masayuki Chatani, when asked if a hard disk will be included with the system out of the box on day one, replied, "This has yet to be decided,” a strange comment given that any games in development right now must be working to a spec that either definitely does or definitely doesn’t involve hard disk usage.
Chatani-san went on to state that the devices will be removable to enable users to upgrade the amount of space they have for storage, as well as making it possible to transport data between PS3 consoles. It’s perhaps worth pointing out that Sony is a pioneer of providing inadequate storage, with the tiny 8MB Memory Sticks shipped with some devices in past serving more as a bad joke than a data solution.
The PlayStation 3’s controller was also discussed. The pad was universally slammed when first displayed, with even the most loyal PlayStation fans conceding that it does indeed look like a rejected SideWinder design from 1995. Or a poorly-made dildo. Or a robot banana. “I don't think there will be any fundamental changes..." said Chatani-san, when quizzed about the possibility of a controller design revision, "...but it's a prototype, so there could be some small adjustments.”
Let us know what you think of dildopad in the forum below. Best answer wins a completely unrelated prize or a brand new and still sealed copy of Pokemon Emerald for Game Boy Advance. Usual competition terms apply.

Bravo on the witty quips Cheeky.
From the moment I saw that PS3 pad I thought, 'what the f**k is that thing'. Looks like some has been taking holidays in Austarlia too much and was so influenced by the locals boomerangs.
Since the damn thing is wireless, I wonder if I throw it at my tv if it will circle the room and come back to me? Maybe my PS3 can play boomerang with me in the park, that would be some games console.
I bloody well hope some changes are made to that pad or else I'll have to hold off buying PS3. And so weird is it that even MS can get their pad right in this round of new consoles. Makes we wanna see what Nintendo have up thier sleeves with their pad more now.
As for the removable hard drive if it keeps cost's down it's a good thing but I feel Sony just wanna sell damn accessories again. If I can carry my hard drive about that's a good option I guess.

Are you sure you would really want that controller coming back to you after throwing it, i certainly wouldn't

This is Sony's attemt to entice a broad audience. See, the controller isn't just a dildo, it's a DOUBLE ended dildo. Girls can play with their friends!! I wouldn't be surprised if they have a launch game that emphasizes this group play, including RUMBLE features!! And using the HD-eyetoy these girls can start their own pr0n sites!!!
I had no Idea Sony was sooooo depraved!!!

Introducing the amazing new PS3 console with it's amazing new vibe-o-function dual controller.
You dont like playing games on your own. Then have a cool new two player game thanks to our revolutionary pads crescent design.
Two girls, one dual shock pad equals hours of gyrating their hips on either end of our lovely new game pad. Switch on the rumble function for extra fun.
Double ended dildos were apparently never this much fun. Available at all Major Jizz Junky outlets nationwide.

New Announcement from Sony:---
Due to our inability to keep up with Microsofts' Xbox Live, we have decided that as we cannot compete, we will pioneer more enjoyable ways to play with yourself.

Isn't this new controller the result of that lawsuit against them for copyright infringements? At least they can use it as an excuse for the ugly ass controllers.

You thought the first playstation controller broke down alot? Wait till this thing gets all gummed up with your ladies pleasure juice or worse yet your buddies anal gum!.....I'm guessing this comment won't win me the Yamaguchi Nagasaki game or whatever the hell it was?

I suppose Sony's reasoning is that they should infringe the copyrights of a much smaller corporation this time; boomarang producers being the most obvious.
Nobody in Australia will even notice since they don't play games that aren't Pokemon anyway.

boomerang?
double dipper?
croisant?
you are all missing it... its right ther under your nose...its obviously intended to interact with other sony products, dont you know sony is revolutionizing gaming with "connectivity (tm)"
its a multi purpose solution!
rather than making a console that will take over your living room ... which M$ is doing a much better job of... sonywants to take over everything else!
game controler? sure
dildo? you bet!
edible? ok probably not.
wireless conectivity to work as psp controller (excellent for fighting games so you and a friend can play on one psp) you bet...again!
fetch toy wioth blue tooth homing device for added aibo enjoyment? indubidably!
but wait ... theres more... rectal thrmometer! light gun! gyroscope for use with fishing games! built in radar that tracks motion in the room... eliminating a need for costly dance dance pads... just place it on the floor with its wide end pointed tword you and stand in the scanning area!!
also much liek the ipod... the new dual screw will interface with new model special edition bmws... you will actually be able to drive your car remotley!! all the while the car will beem a live video feed back to your ps3... thats what the second monitor port is for... so you can watch where your car is going on one tv and still watch blueray porn with the misses whiel you both grind on any number of strnage controler combinations...
why 7 controlers some ask? cause your going to need as many as possible! one in the kitch to controll your SMART STOVE... one in the bathroom to clean up... no more toilet paper!
one in the bedroom for the ladies... andfor yourself if thats yor thing...
when i started writing i was relaly hoping i would come up with somethign good... but it just wasnt in the stars. time to stop rambling.

This is great!
I'll announce the winner at 1700 GMT and stick the item in the post then. We should do this more often, no?
xxx
BTW, hey Lupos, how's tricks? :-)

I see the headlines a little differently:
"Videogame violence spirals out of control as Sony unveils its sharpened gamepads.
Children around the world, no longer satisfied with acting out events seen in videogames, are beginning to use their controlers to gouge out one another's eyes."
"Videogames before were seen as a medium that encourages violence. Now, with our new controller, we have acutally demanded it from those who use our system," a Sony Spokesman explained. "This is total immersion."

It seems like Sony is going for more of a curve design. The top of the PS3 reminds me of my HP Scanejet 4470c wih it's curved top. The controller matches the system for the most part. Non the less, the design looks really uncomfortable. Then again, everyone said the same thing about the GC controller. And as for stupid pleasure jokes, I'll recommend it to my friend who acually takes my advice and masturbates when she is bored.

Bundle this controller with a copy of REZ, and you have possibly the greatest "adult entertainment tool" ever created. Sony won't just arrouse interest in the female market; they will OWN it!

I know pretty much everyone who replies to this articles forum is gonna guess how it can be used in terms of games and conectivity, but really lets look at what it really was.
*Now Sony has decided that their controler design and pretty much every other stinking feature they through together to distract the simple minded conumer from the all in one media behemoth that is the M$ Xbox 360.*
If that is not the case then the only other possible thing it could be would be, that it was the actual finalised form of Sony's next gen controler, up until they realized people hated their stupid design which contains no real inovative or new features.

Sure thing!
This has got some of the best responses of anything in a while.

I still think there's an ulterior motive to that pad...
You can't put it down, because due to the shape it just boomerangs right back in there! It's like a less-complex Matrix, and you can't leave.
