I thought the boxing was a jab at the Wii.

Hmm, I didn't see it that way. I thought it was a knock at pansies who get in a fight. The Natal bust was the red ball and finger gun.

It may be their weakest ad (especially coming after the great GoW3 ad) but it was still really funny.

And I too took the boxer part as a jab at the Wii. Not knowing much about Natal, I'm guessing the shooter part ("it has buttons") was directed at Natal.

Total Wii jab. The Wii can't do depth, that's the draw for 'move.' The lack of buttons was a jab at Natal.

Maybe that's why I didn't like the add. The whole series strong suit was focusing on the PS3, not silly jabs at the competition.

It kind of reminds me of the Apple Ads Mac vs PC.

Bingo. I don't see how it could be interpreted any other way, unless you've never seen someone play Wii Sports boxing.

So it's not so much a shortage, as it is a shortage?

So the new Move Boxing game will require each player to use two Move controllers? Good luck with that.

Having the "new" PS3 with only 2 USB ports, is there a device that you guys would recommend that I can get to add more ports to it?

Any USB hub should work fine, for example: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-4-Port-...8922759&sr=8-1

I know there is. So does Sony. But that ad shows the guy playing the boxing game with two Moves.

Yes, the boxing game requires 2 move controllers. The sub-controller has no motion sensors, so you would need a move controller for each hand to detect the punches.

The Move has no D-pad. How are you going to navigate the XMB if you want to play a game that only uses the wand controller? Surely you won't have to use a regular controller for that. Is it safe to assume that moving the controller will function as up, down, left, right when you're in the XMB? That's how a mouse works if it's connected.
