Ohhhh that is beautiful. I wanted the TP already for video playback and just generally taking my tablet experience up to 11, but now... oh now...
It's MGS1 time, baby.

Thanks for posting that. Finally a riptide GP player that doesn't hit the wall on the first turn! haha.
It's definitely in a class of it's own, amazing machine.

Booo! I had hoped that you could pair the ps3 controller up to the tablet using bluetooth. Do you HAVE to use the cable?

The description says:
"Bluetooth does work via the "sixaxis tool" on Android Market (requires root). It is however limited and doesn't work with Riptide GP nor Shadowgun (gamepad not detected). It does work with a few emulators after some tweaking, but it's far from as quick and easy as with a USB connection. "
ICS will have native support for controllers so its only a matter of time.

That is so cool. but does it not work via bluetooth?

---

really enjoyed this, as i know nothing about nothing. I wasn't sure if i could run good emulators on this thing... now i know.

---

I need to clean my pants now... I am so glad I've got a ps3 now

Maybe try reading at least ONE post above yours.... -.-

---

kinda bummed BT doesn't work natively, but hopefully it will in ICS...

why do we have to make new treads as fast something comes up? This prime forum is just filled with ****. People need to take a breath before starting new threads just for fun or want to be seen. The quality is really low,
I posted this link yesterday in the review thread that it would make sense to be. Every new thing doesn't need to have a thread.

This is just amazing. To be able to plug this in, and use it so easy, wow... Emulators, here I come!
Now to make it easier with bluetooth...

---

Wonder if it works on my xbox360 controller?

It'll worK. Listed as a supported controller along with wii remote and several third party controllers.

I'm wondering if it will work natively (i.e., as though it were plugged in) with the Xbox 360 Wireless Dongle?

With the wireless dongle in the. Dock, it would. All I remember them saying and me seeing is them using the controller with it and it's supported. Now Remember, some games don't support the bt controller option and will have to be used with controller plugged in. I think there's work around for that if game doesn't support it. some app in marketplace can't remember name of.
Its not a matter if Prime supports controller cuz it supports them all. It's a matter of if the game itself supports wireless gamepad or gamepad support. As far as I know, it's ShadowGun n riptide that doesn't support the wireless unless workaround used. I may be wrong on that, hopefully someone else chime in with more insight into that.

Any idea if third part Xbox360 controllers will work? I have a wired Afterglow controller that's picking up dust that I'd love to use over a BT wireless controller (to save on batteries). Just the fact that Google decided to support these controllers natively in ICS is so great. I love what Google has been doing over the past couple years! And people say iOS is user FRIENDLY. Pfft!

I like having different threads for different things. Seriously, look at all the posts this thread spawned. If someone doesn't have a wireless controller, nor care anything about wireless controller connectivity, why should they have to sort through all these posts in a generalized review thread? This way, they can easily ignore all this and focus on the things that are of interest.
Frankly I'm getting a bit annoyed every time someone posts something like "why does this have its own thread?" It's not like it costs XDA money for every new thread or something If you don't like that there are a bunch of different threads, don't read them! But don't ***** because people like organization or think things should be organized differently than you think they should.
