Sorry man, don't take it as directed as you. It was an exclamation that *I wouldn't* want to be buying a new controller after a year or so just because the battery went out. Nothing you said was BS since that is your viewpoint on getting a new controller, but rather I think that the idea of having to get a new controller instead of being able to change out the battery or service it is BS.

No worries :up:. For the record I would not jump up, grab some pink socks, and shout "spring is here" if I had a controller battery die :D

Ah ok

I've heard that the PS4 battery will be "built in", but that is the same I heard for PS3's battery.

Hard to tell I imagine it will be the same but who knows.

Never had controller battery issues either. However, the PS3 left joystick is notorious for breaking (inside).

I know someone posted here a while back (I think it was Gus - the stay-at-home plumber from College Station - can't remember his username) that they replaced batteries in their PS3 controller and it was cheap and easy.

Regardless, the good news is this: you can buy a PS4 and 3 controllers for just $20 more than an XB1 and 1 controller. :)

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Zimmerman is going to get off. Prosecution did a pretty bad job

It's the worst case I've ever seen go to trial. It's Duke Lax on steroids. It's all politics. Honestly, when acquitted Zimmerman should consider suing the Prosecutor and Governor (who appointed the prosecutor) for a whole hose of things. It might be a questionable case but Zimmerman would probably make some decent coin in a settlement.

Haha you know I was thinking the same thing

I actually mimic'd holding my controller here at work for 5 minutes like damn do I hold my controller up like that? lol

The answer is no I do not hold my controller at that angle. It's moreso pointed down towards the ground.

But isn't it fun to nitpick it like the Sony fanboys do to XB1?

Here's the actual video where that comes from... aside from the annoying light, it does look like a pretty awesome tech demo.

If you're holding it at the right angle, I'm sure it is. I don't see why it would be any different from the picture.

I doubt anyone, but if your TV is low enough off the ground, you wouldn't have to. With my setup, it would definitely reflect off, hence why I'm going to have to tape over it.

Won't be a problem for me....the direct line from where I'd hold the controller would be a good foot below the TV anyways.

Yep non-issue for me. I'm sure the wife won't let the PS4 touch the 60" set so it will be on my 27" monitor/desk which is a good foot above controller level (lap level sitting in an office chair)

Yeah try that crap when you wife/m.d. is the primary bread winner with her income extremely likely to double or even triple in 2 years. i did well just to get the 60" screen for sports viewing. :nod:

In that case inform her that whatever she thinks is best between playing on the 60 or getting an inexpensive new 73-82' for games :up:

Yeah it ain't going to fly. The ONLY way I'll get our 2nd HD t.v. is if one of our two OLD (pre 2K) standard def sets goes out. She tried to get away with the no hd t.v. with the 27" monitor which I use for gaming. But eventually she caved when we needed a 3rd set for our apartment so I got it as a Christmas gift.

Now in fairness to her its a two way street as unlike most women that I have met she loathes shopping for anything.

I PRAYED they would bite the dust when I personally packed them in our POD when we moved from RI to TX. Allas the t.v.s were in the EXACT spot that I layed them. Stupid reliable PODs. :smh:
