Sixaxis controller range
| July 17 | Posted by unerd (PS3 blog) |
I do have a good reason for this... down at the bottom of my garden, inconspicuously hidden in a shed, is the devlopment dreams are made of - my shed arcade... or as it is known the 'shedcade' (I will post a seperate entry on this soon!!).
Now, obviously I want to be able to play the beast that is my PS3 down there, but I'd rather do it without actually trying to move the big dude itself. So, I have an AV signal sender, I'll 'transmit' in low-D and get the picture that way - Shibby. But Ah, how will I control it... well the PS3 controllers are wireless, maybe the signall will stretch?!
So as you do, I scoured youtube for the answer, and from a little hole in Spain I found this...
Well it turns out these Spanish are pulling the wool over our eyes! I can confirm that my Sixaxis PS3 controller has a bluetooth range (on flat terrain) of approximately 11 meteres, leaving me 4 'king meters short! Humph!
This would appear to be a kick in the teeth for the shedcade, but fear not, it will be overcome and shedcade will have PS3!
