That d-pad really is horrible. They had better sort that out for next gen.

Yeah. Let's talk about symmetry. The vast majority of the time, I am using the left analog stick and the right face buttons. Now, if I am using the 360 pad, then where are my thumbs in relation to each other?

You're exactly right. I used to try to explain this to people, but so many people just won't see it. You can see below even. I've given up.

I would say, sadly, because there are more mindless sheep than not.

I don't understand where all the hate comes from. It boggles the mind.

Really interesting, Stephen. Sounds like Dylan trusts you quite a bit. How'd you start up this relationship anyway? I'm assuming you reached out to him via eBay or something?

Thanks for bringing up the SNES. I always remind people of that.

Hear hear

Yeah. Good times.

I thought Gamemaster4747 killed 1UP?

I am so happy that they finally decided to switch some things up with the DualShock. The only thing I would do differently is move the position of the left analog stick, but I can deal with it.

As Odin says, here's the link from Eurogamer http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-21-sony-tells-eurogamer-playstation-4-will-not-block-used-games

Thanks for this, but I hadn't seen anything recently and sites (including Kotaku) have still been propagating the rumour. I just found this article on Eurogamer today btw. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-21-sony-tells-eurogamer-playstation-4-will-not-block-used-games

I believe the point is that they have trapped themselves between a rock and a hard place with the FF brand. If they're going to stick with the name, do what pleases the fan base—the end. Yes, XIII sold alright, but XIII-2 not so much. The majority of FF fans vastly prefer the games from the late 90s and early 2000s,…

I missed this. Source?

I am more concerned with the lack of any information on the much rumoured DRM.

Ahh, Fox News. You're always good for a laugh. Glad nobody I know takes you seriously.

Don't let up. I really want to know the full story.

It was, but it was never official. Then this was released: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(DVR)

And so many people just don't care. It's criminal!
