That thing looks awesome.. I can see it being really big.
A controller that looks like a remote. No thanks.
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.
I'uno looks cool to me, it's just a little different. And FYI wireless doesn't nescarlly mean slow.
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.
Yep, I'm making Revolution off of my "potential new system" list.
My list as of now:
PS3
Nintendo Next-gen
Xbox 360
360
PS3
that's the only competition for me.
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.
Even the great Maddox hated the xbox 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. ;]
