You may not have a limit on the number of devices that can be connected, but you do have a limit on the number of devices you can connect at once.

The limitation is with frequencies, frequencies that translate into channels, channels that translate into actual devices.  For each device you have a channel or group of channels that the device transmits/receives on, and one to provide a separation from bleed over.

Bluethooth 3.0 have the same limitation?

Yes.

BlueTooth 3.0 is BlueTooth + 802.11 WI-FI (for bandwidth).  So, the negotiation and authentication comes through BlueTooth, but the actual data transfer happens through 802.11 WI-FI.

Both BlueTooth and 802.11 have similar limitations in terms of the number of devices.

Two tv's I guess?  (or 8 lol).  



I want it to support 100 controllers so we can play 1 vs. 100 at home



10 player FIFA with buddies as everyone are 1 player each and going online would be pretty fucking hilarious xD

That's really good... the four support for 360 was weird even if almost 99% of the games didn't use more than four controllers.

I'm the only to think weird 7 for PS3? Why not 8? Odd number lol

Because of the LEDs. It's impossible to display 8 when only two leds are active and you just have numbers 1 - 4. 


led 4, 3 and 1 together all lit up would add to 8! you need to play some more professor Layton :D as for there only being two lit up at once, when you connect / charge the ps3 controller all 4 flash all the time.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

That'll be a clusterfuck for me if I ever manage to get 7 friends to sit down and play a game with me. I have enough issues to get 3 other people to play NSMBU with me.


Never played Saturn Bomberman? :)



Whats the betting that no game ever supports 8 local players :)



Now THIS is good news! I mean, not that I expect anyone to be able to utilize it, but I love having the option. your move, Sony!
