Quartermann Can't Help But Spill the Beans

Those of you out there enjoying your weekend, what with all this beautiful weather, may have missed the latest 1UP Yours podcast -- though we can't feel responsible, as we do always remind you. Guest starring Geoff "Dean of Games Journalism" Keighley and Newsweek's N'Gai Croal, the usual crew chat about some interesting topics, ranging from EA's recent rescinding of plans to charge for Battlefield: Bad Company weapons to Denis Dyack's vision of a "one console future."

While all these things were all well and good, with between 21 and 20 minutes left in the show, EGM Executive Editor Shane Bettenhausen simply couldn't help himself amidst talk of the upcoming Xbox 360 "waggle wand" and spilled some serious beans:

"Sony also has a waggle wand, not for PS2, but for PS3."

Continuing, he says:

"Specifically with the PS3 one, it's not just a waggle wand, it's some sort of transforming controller that has multiple configurations. Call of Duty 5's gonna use it. Resistance 2's gonna use it. Apparently it's real....It was gonna be for Quartermann but I couldn't sit on it, so, don't tell him I told you."


There you go "kiddies", as Mr. Bettenhausen himself would say. Too bad we don't have an MS Paint mockup of the one he's referencing as well. Stay tuned! It could happen any day! Stranger things have happened.
