Look familiar?

[Thorgaz]

pretty crazy. If they can integrate that controller into the PS3 they'll have a winning combo of the PS3s computing power and the awesomeness of motion sensing.

that's funny, i'm looking at it as a crappy ripoff :-/

Yup, real and exactly why it's a crappy ripoff.

wait this was a quote from the article

Now after watching the videos below of the PS3mote in Action which is the all new PS3 controller has left me wanting one right now, this is what we call Wii (http://www.ps3daily.co.uk/20081127/videos-of-ps3mote-in-action-new-ps3-controller/#) style baby. The image above is just a mock-up but the real PS3mote can be seen in the videos provided below.

Mabye it'll look a little different ? but still they've totally gotten the whole idea from the wii

...isn't that patent infringement?

Unless it works differently...

Most likely it'll do the same thing but without a sensor, making the whole setup cost a hell of a lot more.

Does this use Eyetoy at all?

As that's one peripheral that I always thought had promise.

Sony should have bundled it with the PS3. Why? Because then people would make games that used it. It was an AWESOME step up from the original going off the demo videos.
