I\'ll definately be getting one of those. The new controller is quite a risky shift in gaming, but I have faith in nintendo to get it right. Incidentally, this kind ofcontroller was initially planned for the gamecube, but they weren\'t quite happy with it so they went for something more conventional. Hopefully this means they have finally got it to a level they are happy with
Yep, you will be able to use the gamecube controller on it. And then Sony stole the motion sensing idea from Nintendo at the last minute and made it near useless, unlike Nintendo\'s. They built their motion sensor into a regular controller, try holding the PS2 controller sideways with both hands, not comfortable, is it? lol

Every game console that I have ever studied was sold at a loss to be made in game sales. The PS3 at $600 is a steal considering at last estimate it was going to cost $900 each to make them. Nintendo will never rule the game market until they learn about a simple thing - backwards compatability. The PS3 will run even the original PS1 games. Every incarnation that ninetendo puts out makes the old games obsolete unless you have both systems. The PS3 allows you to keep some of the old games and not have to dig the old system out too.
Oh they will, you will be able to download ALL of the old games onto this system (for a little bit of cash) and play them on it, see? They have this brilliant idea that\'s like \"Hey, go get you copy of Ocarina of Time!\" \"Don\'t need to, its saved on the console itself!\" That is a truly worth it feature, no longer having to lug around all your games to play them at someone else\'s house, you just have to bring the console and the current games. Pretty cool if you ask me because I travel and game alot.
