I have seen this recruitment video a few times now and yes it has been out a long time, the video was on TV, you can see in the video the UK army are using the Xbox 360 controller to fly their unmanned UAV Spy Plane.
In years to come we know that game controllers will fly aircrafts such as the Eurofighter etc, what we are looking for here is for you to find a video of the army using a Playstation controller.
All you need to do is send us the embed code of the video or send us the link of the website you found it from. Surely the army are mad choosing the Xbox 360 over the PS3, I mean watch the video and you will see at the end the glorious RRoD.
Now I want one of those unmanned spy planes they are cool, I would spy on the people at Playstation to see what is happening for the future.

The RROD has been edited in to the video, nice trolling now why don’t you get a life or better still go to Iraq and play with some landmines.

The Army made an excellent choice if you ask me.
Winners always pick XBOX 360.
Losers… you know the rest.
And even though I own both systems, My 120GB 360 Elite is a true gaming machine. No RROD on these black beauties.

the 360 controller is tailor made for this, sorry this isn’t a game or a fanboy thing. . . So when it comes to life and death, it’s the 360 controller over the PS3, big deal.

the only reason for using ms controller is that the computers they’re using run ms windows…
if there was any reliable Sixaxis software for windows they would surely use it;>

Somewhere in the UK…A general plugs a Ps3 controller into their computer and hands it to the pilot…the pilot takes off and things seem to be going well then…out of nowhere…a picture of Bill Gates shaking his head no and giving you the finger appears and the controls freeze. The plane crashes and the British cry themselves to sleep. The next day they receive an Xbox 360 control in the mail. They try it and end up with the Red Ring of Death.

British Spy planes vs American Spy planes.
The British spy planes take off to spy on the US…as seen in the video they are tiny little buggers about the size of a toy you might purchase from walmart. They have a radar show up of the same size as their actual body so they could easily be mistaken for a hawk or eagle. As the spy planes is flying through the air a vast jet, with a 4 lane highway wingspan and a tiny body comes flying up behind the small little spy plane. It has a radar signature of a fly, has engine silencing, carries 6 missiles, and 500 rounds of machine gun ammo. Somewhere in the Pentagon the pilot pulls a trigger and the spy plane east lead.
Now angry at the British the drone flies over the Atlantic, avoids radar detection, uses the signal used to fly the spy plane to track down the British base. The drone flies over and blows it up…in Britain no one known what the hell happened. The drone then flies down to France, picks up a Cinnamon roll and some coffee, then flies over to Iraq. It assassinates a group of terrorists and when its out of ammo it heads home. It lands at the Pentagon and delivers the pastries and coffee to the pilot.
Then the President calls and says, “Good work…another 20 billion dollars wasted.”

It doesnt matter in the end because, on the tv version you can clearly see that they are using a Sony screen for it! and yes the PS3 controller does have rumble but i dnt see the sixth axis any where on that brick of a controller but i do see batteries…major flaw…period.
