"Factoid" means something that only seems to be a fact, as "a piece of information that has the appearance of being reliable or accurate, as from being repeated so often that people assume it is true".
So is this true?
this sure lacks evidence. I'd like to know how they did it.
This was quoted from the actual mouth of Willie Williams who you see holding the playstation control in the picture. The only assumption of truth is coming from the person quoted, who in this case seems to be a fairly reliable source...
We've posted a follow up to this on the blog, but in case you're only following this thread, you can view a clip where we got this information here: http://www.dubbia.com/Playstation_Evidence.wmv
So, you think Willie Williams is playing a little joke on VH1?
It wouldn't be that difficult to use the controller to fire off cues. The buttons are just contact closures, and you have several buttons in an already ergonomic controller. So as far as firing off some cues to the beat of the music, it could work...
