Oh no, its definitely bad. They were an example of a competitor, only. When I say that microsoft is taking ideas from them, and only the bad ones, I say that to emphasize how desperate they are to fuck as many people over as possible.

The PS4 controller is quite different than the usual dualshock so we will have to wait and see how it feels in the hand. I think it is wider with more substantial handles.
2 more days:http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/9...d-happen-at-e3
DMK: The Dualshock 4 looks a bit bigger. I really dislike the way the current PS controllers are too, but I think this next one will be good. The grips look way better, the sticks look better due to being concave (even though they're in the wrong place!), and they're supposed to have fixed the god awful triggers. So I have some hope.

Well there is actually a ton of recreational goods that there is 0 used market for. Concert/Movie/Sporting event tickets, drugs/alcohol/cigarettes.
I don't have a play station but don't they have third party controllers shaped like the 360s?

http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/accessor...ntroller/99935is the first one I saw that I think may be close - I know the stick/DPad config is 360
They have third party controllers in all kinds of shapes and configuration. There's even third party controllers that are modular and you can swap part locations around.
I've never actually used one I've liked over the first party stuff though, but I've never tried the expensive third party controllers. First party controllers are always solid and feel really well made, but most third party controllers feel like cheap garbage or like something is "off". I imagine the ones that actually cost a good bit of money, like the pro-gaming controllers, are probably pretty good though.
This one actually interested me the most out of all the custom controllers, since it has extra large analog sticks and control with them is supposed to be quite a bit better:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But I could never get over the fact that it is Wired. The PS3 version does have the stick swapped to the X360 controller position though.

What I do find rather funny is everyone being up in arms about the no resale thing when Steam has been doing it for almost a decade now. I guess PC users are just used to not being able to loan/sell games because of CD keys and whatnot, or just from using Steam for so long.
Heh, I wonder how much they'll cost. Dualshock3s are still pretty expensive. I imagine that third party stuff does have to have all the same functionality of the main controllers, though I wonder what kind of custom design placement they'll do this time around with the new stuff added.
Because we've been able to do whatever we want with our console discs/carts for theentire 40+ year history of gamingup until now. They've always been a physical good, not some temp data storage and a license. There's no reason to change that other than tofuck the consumer.
Also, just because Steam has been that way for a decadedoesn'tmean it's right or that it should be that way. That's why that lawsuit's there, because it's bullshit and it should and will be changed. We absolutely should have first-sale rights to digital goods that we buy.
Renting, loaning, used games, etc are all a huge part of the Console Culture. Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot with this. It's absolutelyhilariousthere there will be no Rentals & Loaning for the Xbone on launch.

Out of that poll I also gather there are more people that own a X360 than people that don't? Seems odd to me, unless PC gamers don't use gamefaqs.
They have some other fun polls in there about various topics:
Almost half the people lend games (now & then 35%, all the time 14%).
Almost half the people don't plan on owning a new gen console by the end of the year (poll include combinations but it can be broken down as: 42% none, 10% a Xbone, 37% PS4, 28% Wii U). Note that an early may poll with the same question yield somewhat similar result, but the 'Xbox 720' fared a little better.
Two third of the people have a negative first impression of the Xbone (awful 31%, meh 36%).
EDIT: Yeah the people at gamefaqs seem to not be very representative of the general gaming public though. There is a poll about aving played games in japanese and 40% (!!!) said they played through at least a game in japanese with a little extra work (the does not include the small fraction that did but are fluent in japanese nor the chunk of people who tried and gave up).

Gamefaqs has a fairly large console community, X360 and PS3 boards are usually really active. PC boards barely have any, unless it's a PC only title.
You do realise steam is an option and not a neccassity don't you? Xbox on the other hand has only one other competitor when it comes to core gaming. Due to their being no choice if Sony decide to go the same route we are being forced into this as gamers. Please read at least the last 5-6 pages to find the numerous examples of steam and Xbox not being the same instead of trying to be the guy that thinks it cool to have the minority view.
