Some unseen PS3 Move content surfaced recently from Sony's Holiday Event in NYC on July 20th, 2010 and while it's great to see something never before seen, i noticed Anton Mikhailov mention something interesting. In the video at 2:07 Antov say's "You can use the DUAL SHOCK or the navigation controller because they're fully compatible / most people don't know they're compatible im just throwing it out there" The way i hear it, it tells me the subcontroller will be unnecessary. Go Compare! The Motion controller has all of the triangle X O square trigger select start PS and the Move button. The Sub controller has X O an analogue stick L1 L2 D-Pad and PS  buttons.

Sony have announced the Playstation already has the technology to run 3D. How does it work? We've all seen 3D has been around for quite a while but as our technology in the home gets more and more powerfull we get the ability to do cooler and cooler things like 3D. The old way was to use a red and blue lense or gel over each eye allowing you to see 2 different pictures displayed on one screen.  The new way is pretty much using the same principals. A Tv throws out 2 x 120Hz images (120HZ = 12 frames per second)   120 Hz to your left eye and 120 Hz to your right eye then you use the HD 3D glasses  which have a shutter system that  recieves a signal from the tv telling them when to close the left eye and when to close the right eye and they do this at 120 Hz or 120 frames per [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/technology/3d-revolution/1077/feed/ 0
