[real-o]

Video game accessory innovators BLAZE have today announced their truly unique motion sensing controller

Must be a joke, right? How would the existing games know how to use those controllers? How are they not already being sued? No, nothing adds up about this at all!

It's not a Sony product, just some third party controller.

well obviously but doesnt sony have to approve and license 3rd party games and peripherals?

 

[DBloke]

Kinda but there not as strict as Microsoft

yeah sony was known to let some bullshit peripheals come out via third party for ps1.(game ice anyone?)
what happens is the developers show concepts and/or prototypes to sony/nintendo/ms and then they set a price based on what they've seen for the dev to obtain a liscense to distribute it. So what sony may have seen as a good idea in concept phases may have gone through 1000000 revisions only to come out as a wiimote rip off in the end.
and theres no way there is full 360 control or IR head tracking as PS3 games for the most part dont have motion control options and the ones that do only support the 6 axis limitation of the PS3 stick.
What we have here is a PS3 controller case mod. nothing more, and a shitty one at that. they spread out the buttons, offed a joystick(I think the "A" button there is a psp style joystick?) and threw it in a black soniimote case lol.

The Verdict...
Biggest rip-off in a controller since the power glove

Let's just pretend for a moment that they indeed started selling these on a nation wide or world wide level. Within a day there would be a lawsuit and probably a wide spread order to take them off the shelf.

I wouldn't mind a black Wii mote as it looks awesome, but there is no way Nintendo would let this slide. Cool design tho.
