play it while your young.

I think i am going to play it until i am dead :blue_wink: . it is not because that i am a gamer and spend lot of time playing. NO, i hardly play my playstation 2. But recent study shows that, people after 60 should play video games to gain more concertration which will help them making decisions at that age.

Controller
The final PlayStation 3 controller.At Sony's 2006 E3 press conference, the PlayStation 3 controller was revealed to be a wireless version of the previous controller design, as opposed to the "boomerang" prototype wireless design that was previously showcased.

The PlayStation 3 controller features a USB mini-B connector terminal at the top of the controller for charging the internal battery through USB, and also for wired play. There are four numbered LED indicators, to identify and distinguish multiple connected wireless controllers.

In addition to the basic design, the other major feature revealed at the press conference was the ability to sense rotational and translational acceleration to allow for a full six degrees of freedom. The new technology was demonstrated with the game Warhawk. According to Sony, because of inclusion of the motion-sensing function, the rumble capability of the previous controllers was omitted, so as not to interfere with motion sensing. As a result the controller is lighter than prior DualShock controllers.

The 2005 "Boomerang" controller was officially abandoned.Other, more minor refinements have also been made to the controller. Instead of the vestigial "Analog" button and light, a jewel-like button on the center has been added at the center of the controller face, in a similar fashion as the addition of a Guide button at the center of the Xbox 360 controller. Some the buttons have been raised from their previous versions, presumably to enhance their pressure-sensitive analog functionality. The L2 and R2 shoulder buttons, in particular, have been redesigned to allow for a much deeper depression range (similar to the shoulder buttons on the GameCube controller, though with a feel more often compared to the hinged triggers of Microsoft's Xbox controllers). The analog sticks also have finer analog sensitivity, at 10-bit accuracy, as compared to the 8-bit accuracy of the previous models.
