SONY is to kill off its boomerang shaped games controller when it releases the new PS3.

According to Engadget, here, the shape is being tossed and will not come back.

Sony's president of the Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios division Phil Harrison said that the design was being scrapped mostly because the original design was being crucified by the PS3's own fan base.

Sony also has to outdesign gaming blog readers who have been turning out nice looking possibilities to whet everyone's appetite. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
