Yeah, there used to be an advert for the RAF showing one of them swanky Predator drone thingies, and the lad flying it had a 360 control pad attached to his computer. Makes sense, I suppose. |

So Lockheed those of the Widowmaker fame are now controlling an armoured vehicle using a console that can RROD. Am I worrying for no reason?

I remember seeing that advert and was going to post exactly the same thing. I guess they are a little more comfy than those massive radio control controllers. |

In a word: Yes. See, it's the console you are worried about. This however is the controller. Just remember to bring spare batteries.

I agree, the ps3 pad is a bit of a joke.
People say they prefer the ps3 pad simply because it's what they're used to, but once you get used to the 360 pad there is no going back.
It annoys me because it's one of the main reasons i rarely use my ps3  |

I'm a bit surprised at the amount of people who hate the ps3 pad, sure the 360 pad is better but not by much imo, it's surely better than that shocking boomerang pad they were planning on releasing. |

I went by the headline of xbox controls the vehicle.

Although I really do like the 360 pad (even though I'm allergic to it...) I'd have to say the best pad I've ever used is the Dual Shock II (not used a PS3 so i've no idea about the sixaxis or whatever it's called), it's just so comfortable and I like having dual shoulder buttons instead of triggers as it makes the pad much easier to use for my preferred way of holding pads which is rather unconventional.
And, using a console/PC controller to pilot something is hardly that amazing when you consider that radio modems - which this system undoubtedly uses - aren't new technology. If you can attach it to a PC you can most likely use it to control anything via radio modems. |

Touche. Another sterling example of misleading headliners by CVG. You've almost outdone yourselves once more, CVG boys. Almost...

Ouh! It's been a long time since I read those works by Asimov! Thanks for the "blast from the past".
