But the good thing about that, is that it's optional :). I can choose to take that off anytime if it takes too much space. As for that 360 controller, you have to keep that on lol.

I don't get why people make such a big deal out of copying. If a company sees an idea that seems to reap benefits, most likely they will try to incorporate that idea into their own brand.

That said, people who think Sony and Microsoft don't copy are delusional.

What about it?

So what is they copied Microsoft with that add-on, it doesn't matter. Every company copies off of each other. That's mostly how things get better and better. Anyways, both are a bit useful, but I doubt I'll be buying any of them right now.

I hope they'd just copy MS where it really matters...A damn standard headset...

I personally think the Xbox one would work better, the keypad is in easy reach of your thumbs. But silly ol' Microsoft had to go and grab the patent. :P

I'm sure you could slide your hands up on it and type with it like people do with those text messaging contraptions. I don't think it'll be difficult at all, just awkward.

That's where I beg to differ.

I find this one to be well-designed, because the keyboard is on the top and you don't have to maneuver around it to play. It's more out of the way than the Microsoft one.

I feel the Microsoft one is too fat and the keyboard would be more cumbersome at the bottom.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. But just the thought of sliding your hands up to reach would feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone copes everyone.

A dude at Microsoft actually said, and I quote:

"Where other than Xbox live could you introduce the concept of an Avatar and have it immediately grow into a community of 10s of millions of people"

So they all suck at originality so thread failed.

Well, if I would use the thing rarely, so I'd be more concerned with it not getting in the way. The Sony keyboard seems to not consume much of the controller, whereas the Microsoft one makes the controller seem really huge.

But I guess it'd just be wiser to just not to buy the damn things.

of all things you could have posted to prove your point... all companies copy ideas, even nintendo, but nintendo and sony have also contributed a lot of original or new ideas to console gaming, MS still needs to catch up in the innovation and originality department. they have they audacity to claim both right after their e3 showing where they pretty much showed a chopped up version of Home, etc...

Have you ever played with one on? It fits almost flush with the controller's grip and you rarely notice it on. Ever since I bought it, it's been on my controller. Hardly notice the difference when playing elsewhere without one on. Very useful too, as I use WLM a lot.

SpinoRaptor

Better in what way? Appearance? Tech? Tech wise it is better. There a motion tracker thingy like a mouse built onto the PS3 key pad for internet browsing. Sounds better to me.

Also, TC thank you for reminding us of something that 95% of System Wars already knew :).

What are you talking about? One's black, the other's white. One goes above the controller, the other goes below. They're like complete opposites, how can that be coppying? :P

The thread SHOULD have ended there. Really. Whoever says one company doesn't copy anything from another company is a giant phoney!

There are just some things that should go unspoken.

Yes, your favorite company takes concepts from other companies and integrates them into their product.

Yes, your favorite company pays money to get games on to their console.

Yes, your favorite company uses dirty, ruthless business tactics (usually behind closed doors) in order to acchieve their quotas.

No, your favorite company doesn't care what you think about their product. as long as you buy it. If you don't buy it, then they care even less than not caring.

Need I go on? Gaming is a business, just like any other. We as consumers are just along for the ride. As long as they keep making money, nothing will change.

I can't see how anyone could be surprised to hear a company copied something from another company, or claim the contrary.

The Xbox Chatpad is actually quite cheap. I was looking at buying a headset to replace my broken one... a 360 headset by itself is $25, but a headset + keyboard is $30. So the keyboard is only a $5 premium. So I bought it. It does a good job.

Well except Nintendo... at the moment I can no joke think of anything they've really copied off of the PS3 and 360 much... maybe the "Home" button on the Wii Mote? I have no clue.

No, you don't. It comes right off quite easily if you don't want it on there (and I don't). I usually clip it on when I want to send a text message and take it right back off after I'm done.
