@Windbane: And that you're able to put the game in and start playing without extra hassle. That's the idea.

Yeah, blowing on cartridges to get them to work was really no hassle at all.

Installing a game is not a hassle, it's a few minute wait. Most games don't even require it.

Again, if you don't like consoles why are you posting on a predominantly console forum? What does having a mouse have to do with anything? PCs already use controllers. If you don't want a console, then fine, but it has nothing to do with PDF's argument.

I have a PC capable of playing Crysis, and yet I somehow still enjoy my PS3 and Wii. There are exclusive PS3 shooters that I'd like to have the option to use a mouse and keyboard with similar to UT3. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just like some games on the Wii working better with a GC or classic controller.  it's nice to have the option.

 

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather occasionally blow on a cartridge than wait 5+ minutes for an install.  Or, as Vlad pointed out, not do anything and just stick a disc into the Wii.

Anyway, I thought the point of this digression was whether or not having a mouse attached to a PS3 made a better or worse, and the argument for the worsening was that it likened it too much to a PC (and therefore one might as buy a PC), but in that case, wouldn't that mean the only reason one buys a PS3 was for an inferior method of control?  So, in other words I think it would make it better.

OT:  Yeah, that does seem a bit silly.
