Except you can charge PS3 devices through any USB device, I've even charged my PS3 controllers on the Wii while having two fightsticks plugged into the PS3 USB ports.

 

Non issue.

Except you need one of the USB ports for the Eyetoy.

Anyway I doubt Sony is going to announce that people should keep their Wiis around because they need the extra USB ports to charge PS3 accessories.


You are not going to keep the PS3 Eye plugged in while you charge the Move controller though, only while you use the move controller.

 

As to the Wii comment are you trolling because its being almost too ignorant of modern technology?   Everything has USB ports these days, desktop and laptop PCs, TVs, DVD players and so forth, even a clock of mine has a USB port....all in addition to the PS3.

So now you're assuming that people are going to want to plug/unplug things all the time and won't consider it to be a hassle? Are you actually saying that having half a dozen accessories to charge wouldn't be a hassle for the typical person? People are moving (no pun intended) towards simplicity and user friendliness as key features of all products. This is an unnessecary regression.

@Jneul: I mentioned that charge station btw.

It's like an fucking infomercial XD

You make the simplest things seem 100X harder than they are

Unless you're playing your PS3 24/7 and have your friends over partying all the fucking time, just charge everything on your PS3, it should definetly be enough. But you completely ignored Kylie's post in that if you really do have to charge stuff immedietly you can use almost everything in your house.

Have one of those iPod charge things (the squares with the foldable electrical outlet and USB port)? Use that shit. Have a PC? You have like 4 USB ports.

But the batteries last long enough without having to constantly recharge. Just play normally, your friends will eventually want to actually sit down and talk, eat dinner, do something other than move, and while you're doing that other shit, or while you're sleeping, while you're surfing on your PC, anything, just find a USB port and plug it in.

I mean Jesus, you're making this so much more complicated than it has to be. Kylie explained it already, and you're just dramatizing it so much.

I'll spell it out for you, since you're not getting it.

The Wii has a rear port for the sensor bar with optional wireless sensor bar and uses two pairs of AA batteries to power two sets of Wii controllers and all you need is a battery charger which can charge batteries in 15 minutes. If you run out of power your minimum down time is 15 minutes which is nothing really.

The Wii is simple to use. You don't have to buy or assume people have any extra accessories to make it work. Hell people can get away with a 20 pack of AA batteries if they want to from the supermarket.It... Just... Works... for everyone, you don't have to contrive scenarios.

With move you have either got lots of tangling cables or lots of accessories to replace the tangling cables to go with lots of accessories. Its competely over the top complication! Remember the Wii is completely wireless, you don't need to plug/unplug ANYTHING for it to work. Sony failed at the one thing they should have copied on the Wii which is keeping things simple.

In one line if you can't be bothered reading that:

You don't have to make excuses for the Wii, you do for the Move.

 



Tease.

Hmmm, I've been wondering exactly what Iwata saw in the Wii remote versus move etc, so thanks for this reason!

Non issue.

 

edit: My PS3 mic is always charged on either my desktop or laptop also, has not been connected to the PS3 in months.


Pretty much this. I've actually used my PS3, 360, AND my Wii for charging my iPhone.

 

Though I will admit, it's a but annoying and Sony should have seen this coming.

This is yet another rediculous thread. Your actually complaing about charging and OMG TANGLING CABLES! Anyone who is going to be gaming enough to warrent a repetative recharge is going to be a gamer and have their charging figured out. I find it refreshing that my game company doesn't want me to waste my time going to the SUPERMARKET to pick up batteries so i can game. I mean wow what a hassle that is.  And don't treat your cables like crap and they would'nt tangle. I mean seriously I have to state ways to not tangle your cables?

 Oh and Btw, "You don't have to buy or assume people have any extra accessories to make it work. Hell people can get away with a 20 pack of AA batteries if they want to from the supermarket.It... Just... Works... for everyone, you don't have to contrive scenarios."  You HAVE to get more batteries for the wii mote to work so that something you HAVE to buy in order to do that like you said go to the supermarket thats a CONTRIVED SENARIO. It wont work for everyone either.

Practicaly everything has usb ports these days like others have stated. If your a true gamer your house would have these bad boys in it.

I consider AA batteries an unnecessary regression.

Like KylieDog said; non issue. With that said... I have an original 80GB with 4 ports and between my keyboard, externall HDD, PSEye, controllers, Cell phone, official headset and a few other things like ipod or when a friend comes over with their phone... or when I have 2 died controllers, i do sometimes wish for more ports. Luckily I have a laptop with 3 ports and a desktop in the same room with 4.

You can't charge the controllers on stand by, you can't play and charge a motion controller and they have a lot of controllers whilst taking up one of the usb ports for the Eyetoy. This is an important issue. The only convenient solution to the charging issue is yet another accessory, the charge kit because thats the only way to store and charge the motion controllers which actually makes sense from a practical standpoint.

Btw most gamers go to the super market between once every month and once every week so its not a hassle to pick up batteries whilst you're there, its like toilet paper and you really shouldn't run out of them if you don't have a charger. Also you can pick up a charger for little more than the cost of a set of batteries so no more running out of them.

Do you not even find it remotely rediculous that the PS3 has no rear facing USB port? The fact that they design the thing to be part of someones home entertainment system and yet can't find it in their hearts to follow the standard and put a usb port at the back? Hell Nintendo/Microsoft both did it, they're dumb though and obviously not as smart as Sony when it comes to making hardware choices.

 





Tease.
