Opals25 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 I think your thinking of something different. I think you're a dumb ass. Â The PS2 controller was the first to have variable pressures for the buttons, and has had them since the consoles debut. The side shoulder buttons were on the SNES. It's nothing new or orignoal. Shutup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chronomaw 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 And I have a question about wireless controllers. At most LAN parties TV's/Xbox's are hooked up in the same room or very close together between two rooms. Now, say you've got a LAN party with 4 Xbox360's, that's gonna be about 16 wireless controllers. I want to know if MS will have up to 16 different wireless frequencies, because otherwise LAN parties could screw you up if your wireless controller runs on the same frequency as your buddies' wireless controller. That could get ugly. The controllers are built so that the frequency jumps around, it also will not use a certain frequency if it detects that another device is using it, I don't think interference between the controllers is possible. Â Topaz, if you would have read the article instead of acting like a jackass, you would find that the "jewel" is called the Ring of Light, it's purpose is to act as a center piece for the other multimedia functions of the Xbox (Movies, Music, etc).

TopazFreno 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 Seriously, once you get outside a certain (relatively small) range, then sometimes the messages from the controllers get jumbled up. Sometimes the wrong messages get sent, and that is seriously annoying. I had a wireless controller for 2 days. I have had bad experiences with wireless.

TopazFreno 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 I know, but sometimes they lie and say: "For maximum effect, stay within 20 metres" When I stay within 20 metres, it doesn't work! I always stay within half of what the box says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magus15690 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 I experienced the same thing. The box says stay within this distance and I stand damn near directly in front of it and it often doesn't work that well. I don't care anymore because I'm not gonna use wireless controllers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Andrew 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2005 (edited) What's a wavebird? Â *sigh* It's the Nintendo-liscensed wireless controller for the Gamecube seen here.
