lol? That's incredibly stupid. Hope it's not that bright.


the things people find just to complain ... xbox fans worried about sony controler batteries , realy?

Well for starters I game on my PS3 as much as I game on my Xbox. Secondly I didn't say a word about batteries. Unless I am mistaken, maybe you can bold it in my post you quoted or something. I mentioned brightness. I usually game in the dark. I don't want a bright ass light I can't turn off.

Anad what a big problem that is !!!

Am I supposed to tape this over my eyes or something? I am not going to tape up my controller lol

Don't know if someone mentioned this yet but Xbox One has rumbling triggers, I'm guessing they would rumble in a shooter. That will drain the battery a lot faster than some simple LED light.

BTW, rechargable bluetooth controller > non-rechargable controller that needs batteries.
If you say otherwise you are completely delusional.

Why are you so defensive?

Anyway, the Xbox One, like the Xbox 360, likely will disable rumble when the battery drops below a certain level.  The Xbox One controller also can connect, via Micro-USB cable to function without batteries at all.  And you can purchase a rechargible battery pack for the Xbox One.  To say otherwise, you are completely delusional.

This article isn't about the Xbox One or about Kinect.  It's about the DS4 and the PlayStation Camera.  Learn to ignore off-topic comments, state your point about the topic, and move on. 

Sounds like you're the defensive one. I mean you called me delusion, that's a full on attack right there.

If you are going to continue to make a huge deal out of this then go ahead. Have fun.

Read what you said, then read what I said.  I mirrored your comment.  "To say otherwise, you are completely delusional."

You made a blanket statement that anyone who disagreed with your assessment, was delusional.  I figured what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I didn't make a big deal of it.  My comment on the matter was the third or fourth comment in this thread.

Before you start talking crap, make sure you know what I've said before you start suggesting anything.

How can that small tiny blue light be a problem in the dark when the TV light is bouncing everywhere?

Playing in the dark or not, you wouldn't notice it.

But you forgot to add in the price of the vita so you can use the remote play feature which adds about 200 on top of the 460

Okay most of the posts in this thread are jokes right? I mean no one is REALLY complaining about this? I mean seriously? The indicator on the current PS3 controllers is always on(granted it is a lot smaller). Also the light on the 360 controller is always on and it is pointed directly at your face. And even with this like it is pointed away from you and down. This is such a non issue to have anyone complain about it is just silly.

Oh and just a question what is up with everyone playing in the dark most of the time? That is kind of creepy lol. :-p

Low priority yes, non issue no.

I currently cannot stand the little red LED lights on the DS3 that reflect off my tv.  They're so intrusive and once you notice them on the screen you cannot halp but notice them all the time. They cannot be unseen.

Now the lights are what 10000% bigger? Though they do seem to be a little dimmer, at least I hope they are.

Hahahahahahaha, I'll give you Xbox fanboys credit for trying.  In that case you didn't include the price of the windows tablet on top of the XBone so you can get that "full experience."  You're  just Trollin now.

I don't see how this isn't considered an annoyance because it blatantly will be. You guys do know its ok to admit the tiniest negative don't you. Its really not a deal breaker though and they could probably change it in a later revision if people do complain.

By the way, to the query regarding playing in the dark, I game on a projector and my room is always blacked out but I don't consider this a problem giving the light bleed I get from my screen anyway.

One you don't have to have a windows tablet any smartphone tablet or windows 8 machine works with smart glass which is a free ap. 2 the same can be said about the ps4 since I highly doubt none of there games won't use a second screen. 3 yes I was trolling a little  just bored lol
