I was thinking of something like that. I dont really mind whether they are wireless or not. Tho' those dual controller ideas from further down this thread sound good..

Not fussed about rumble.

It does add a bit of immersion but it's not as good as it was on the '64. firing the AK on Goldeneye gave you some serious rumble.

To be honest, vibration isn't such a big deal to me. Take it or leave it.

Rechargeable battery? Put in a cradle or something when you're finished.
I dunno.

Unit being show at E3 is just a concept unit...the final version will be even smaller apparantly....and it's not just 3 times more powerfull than the Cube...the figure of 3 was erroneous. Also the PS3 looks much better than the X-Box 360 :P

Xbox 360 needs an extra wireless router to go wireless right?

And that's what the Revolution will be, aswell as a console, right?

Seems like a match made in heaven.

Edit: Apart from the Revolution being out a bit too late to catch the early 360 sales.

Nah, I think you'll be able to plug it in a socket or use a wireless controller.

You can't get vibration in wireless controllers because it drains the controller's batteries far too quickly, and people will give up if they have to replace batteries every few weeks.

There could possibly be a wireless receiver built in though, and controllers can have the option to play wirelessly or not, with the wire being retractable inside the controller (making it bulge slightly, but you can use it wireless or not wireless too)

I'm guessing all the controllers will be wireless as standard.

I half-retract my earlier comment about power - having just seen the PS3 Killzone 2 footage. Not to sound like a casual fanboy chav, but omfg m8z!11
Games come first, of course, but ... well, just look at it.
