    Here are some comparison pics.

    [​IMG]

    Xbone to 360: It's slimmer and a little sleeker, but essentially same. It's got some new rumble function and it has an LED that allows kinect to better recognize you. Has concave analogs. Still needs batteries.

    [​IMG]

    PS4 to PS3: It's pretty different. It's heavier and rounded. L2 + R2 are now the main 'trigger' buttons for shooters instead of L1 + R1. Reshaped the 'triggers' so they don't fire when controller is set down. New 'Share' button for uploading to cloud. 'Options' button instead of start/select. Concave analog sticks. A DS like touch pad. Also, a light bar to interact with new ps eye.

    Wiimote plus is essentially identical to Wiimotes except wii motion plus is built in. Then there's the all new wii u plus controller which is the xbox controller without the batteries and better analog sticks. And you've also got the all new tablet/PSP hybrid monstrosity.

    Thanks KHAAAN :) Its gonna be interesting to see if the PS4 touch-pad works out, I'd thought you'd have to hold the controller awkwardly in one hand to use it, cant see how you would much in game.

    I think it really depends on how a developer tries to use it. Quick swipes would be easily manageable with your thumb.

    Also forgot to mention that PS4 controller has a built in speaker.

    The touchpad apparently supports multitouch and clicks. I'd imagine it'll primarily be used for menus, but it's a really strange thing. Maybe it'll be used like a laptop's trackpad?

    I thought the same and it's almost as awkward as the vita back touchpad but my friend has a vita and apparently the touchpad is second nature after a little bit of practice. I assume the same will happen here.

    I can imagine some pretty conventional uses for in-game functionality. You can bet your ass that it'll play into games that use quicktime events. Drawing patterns and shit.

    I'd play the shit out of a legit Harry Potter game that incorporated drawing out wand movements on the touchpad.

    I feel like the E3, XBOne, and PS4 threads are interchangeable at this point.

    I do wonder if google cares enough to bias its search engine for negative microsoft searches like M$ obviously biases theirs.

    So yeah, as far as I can tell (from going to the site and writing the same thing) Bing doesn't offer auto-complete options. At a guess, I'd say that auto-complete box is a past search made (in this case likely deliberately to make this picture) by that user.

    It's auto-completing for me.

    It's just a secret plan by Microsoft to make you actually use Bing. Don't fall for it guys.

    If Patrick Klepek's sources are correct, Microsoft will reverse their policies on DRM.

    It'll be interesting to see, I suppose. It won't make the Xbone cheaper and it won't remove the kinect requirement, so I don't see this really changing my tune on the subject (plus, the fact remains that they thought this was a good enough idea to get this far in the first place, which is fucked), but that's still an improvement.

    EDIT: Apparently GiantBomb just crashed. Uh, try that link later I guess?

    It is just slow. I got in it after some delay.

    This amuses me though, Xbox One was getting so much crap. Hell, I personally advised a person in GameStop about the stuff they have been pulling and this random dude hated what I was saying.
