Dual Shock 3 out in Japan, is compatible with PS2 games. November 16, 2007
Posted by stvchang in games, gaming news, ps2, PS2 games, PS3, PS3 games, Sony, tech news.add a comment
Dual Shock 3 is out in Japan this week, retailing at Yen 5,500. Some PS3 games have rumble support out of the box (Ratchet and Clank Future, Uncharted), while some required updates (Resistance).
And its is rumble compatible with PS2 games too, guess now we know why Sony chose to use the older rumble technology as they rejected the new generation rumble technology from Immersion.
Good luck in finding one locally, but I won’t give up hunting so soon. Else, you can import it as with all PS3 related stuff, its region free.

Guitar Heroes III’s faulty guitar controller connections FIX-IT. November 6, 2007
Posted by stvchang in games, gaming news, Microsoft, Nintendo, ps2, PS2 games, PS3, Sony, Wii, Wii games, Xbox360, Xbox360 games.add a comment
Some of the new Guitar Heroes III Les Paul guitar controller appear to have connection problems. The root cause seems to be at the connection point between the neck and the body of the guitar.
In order to save box space and mother earth (but it could be due to saving cost, but what do I know?), the Guitar Heroes III Les Paul guitar controller was “broken” into two parts, the neck and the body. These two parts are to be assembled to resemble a full guitar by connectors, and here is the problematic area.
It seems that the PCB board surface (on the neck) and the pin connectors (on the body) does not maintain contact very well. Several options were posted on the internet by ingenious users, and here are two ways.
The Simple FIX:
As per pix above, affix a 3M Utility Hook on the body and strap a rubber band onto the neck. This will improve the connection, but may not last too long (even if the 3M hooks do have very strong and lasting adhesive backs).
The complicated FIX:
By this method, you will need to loosen several screws on the neck, pry the fret part open, and re-position the PCB board. Its not as complicated as it sounds, but it does take some technical knowledge (using a Torx screw driver) and finesse touch (prying open a plasticky part). Click here to see the instructions and pictures.
Warning, do this at your own risk and success is not guaranteed. But if it helps to improve the connection, try ahead.
Note: The pix are of the Xbox360 controller, there are no information if the PS3, Wii or PS2 versions suffer similar problems, but as the controllers are built similarly, I suppose the problem may exist on Sony’s or Nintendo’s versions too.

Rock Band, the game that will have you and two other friends making up a… errr… rock band, will be out on November 23rd in US, for a lower than expected price of USD$169.99 – for the PS3 and Xbox360 versions, while the PS2 version will be your for USD$159.99 come December 10th.
In the bundle will be the game disc, a guitar, a drum kit and a microphone, all the ingredients required for a jam session. Strangely, the Sony’s PS3 and PS2 versions will get you a wireless guitar but not in the Xbox360 bundle.
