Yeah, I'm not too thrilled about the Revolution's "controller." It's unique that it can translate movement in a 3D space, but how tired are your arms going to be from swinging the thing over and over in a fantasy sword fighting game for over an hour? Neat concept, but I doubt I'll bite. We'll see.

Gotta tell ya, so far I'm mostly interested in the PS3. Again, I'll wait until both the Xbox360 and PS3 have been on shelves for a little bit and decide based on reviews and software. That is, so long as it doesn't cost 350 or 400 bucks.

No word yet, but imagine swinging your sword in Zelda instead of pressing buttons.

That. Thing. SUCKS. Imagine me throwing that retarded Air Conditioner Remote Control across the room in total frustration because my on-screen character keeps kneeling or jumping every time I tilt the thing!

When I'm playing games on the GC I usually have the controller on my lap, facing downward. This stupid touchy, feely motion sensitive piece of garbage can stay on the shelf. If that's their controller I'm officialy done with supporting Nintendo. Yep - 18 years, over 200 games and 7 systems later (NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GBA, GBSP) I'm done... all because of the stupid controller.

Not interested in the XBOX 360. Didn't really like the XBOX. It's an OK game system in a huge case with bad heat venting. It had less problems than the PS2 at launch but had about 1/3 the titles. Then again - Sony is a whore. They'll let anyone with a computer make games for the system.

I think i'm pretty much looking at the PS3 because it's STILL going to be backward compatible with PS2 and PS1. I never bought the PS2 but really wanted to play about 5-10 games that were available for it - mostly the Onimusha series, Oni, and Kingdom Hearts (among others).

My roommate has a remote mouse that works like this. You tilt it to move the cursor. (He has his computer set up on his big-screen TV.) It can also work as a normal mouse.

It sucks, I always put the darn thing down on the coffee table and use it like a real mouse. I can't imagine playing a game with it. Yep, your arm gets tired, and it's hard to have precise control.

But then, console gamers aren't used to having precise control anyway.
