I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Saw it Slashdot IIRC. Looked pretty cool, but I'm not a big supporter of wireless. It's too slow to be effective for gameplay.

Where ever that Slashdot article linked me (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3143782), the tester said that there was a delay. ANY delay in games IMO is bad.

Looks....interesting.  I'll have to use it before I can give my opinion of it though.

Stupid, controlling a whole game with a TV remote, should make for some pretty strange games.

People bitched about the XBoxs controller when it first came out too. Suggest every takes the old advice of 'Not judging a book by its cover'.

The XBox controller still sucks, though.  Anyone who seriously owned an XBox also bought a smaller controller.

Exactly. I don't count this controller out just yet, infact I thought it was really cool.

I can't use those small controllers, the big ones are great. :)

The reason why I said this thing is cool is because, if you're like me, you don't like controllers for various reasons (I ALWAYS have gotten a defective one whenever I played a console, so I steered the away from consoles) and then controllers just got hideous and have too many buttons. This is a practical solution, it's shaped like something that fits snugly in your hand and does something to effect gameplay in a different way then other controllers.

I don't want to feel like I'm playing TV, I want to play video games.

I think it's a dumb idea.  There are a lot of buttons on it I think for something that is supposed to be used in one hand.  Buttons are also spred pretty far apart I think.

I don't like wireless either.  Requiring batteries = no thx. :P

My list of the new systems I want in order:
PS3 k thx.

I'd only get a 360 if I got it for free.  Not a big fan of XBox, I could list a ton of reasons why I disklike it but I don't feel like it. ;]
