Mine is a 27 and weighs something like 80 I think; never actually weighed it. It hurts to carry, but rotating it is cake.

I play tate mode but sitting right-side up. I just treat it like a horizontal shooter.

Wouldn't it be AMAZING to play Radiant Silvergun HD on a beautiful 60'' Plasma or LCD TV that could be tilted and mounted on your wall for TATE mode!?

Re: tried to 'tate' but got sick
don't you have to turn your pad or stick so that up is right and down is left and right is down and left is up? that's awkward.hashiriya1 wrote:I play tate mode but sitting right-side up. I just treat it like a horizontal shooter.
Not really. RS is designed for the usual 4:3 aspect ratio, the special term for this is “vertizontal” - YOKO No TATE!Weekend_Warrior wrote:Wouldn't it be AMAZING to play Radiant Silvergun HD on a beautiful 60'' Plasma or LCD TV that could be tilted and mounted on your wall for TATE mode!?
Ikaruga, however...

Re: tried to 'tate' but got sick
Some games have the option for you to alter the controller to play like he plays but hold the controller as usual. I think RS or Ikaruga has that... fuzzy memory...EllertMichael wrote:don't you have to turn your pad or stick so that up is right and down is left and right is down and left is up? that's awkward.hashiriya1 wrote:I play tate mode but sitting right-side up.

That is exactly what I want to do. Think about it, imagine you're gonna play a shooter, you set it to tate and you get up and rotate the TV on a swivel.
