Apparently the boomerang/banana shape that we've come to accept as the PS3's major drawback is being "tossed" in favor of an unspecified redesign that will be unveiled at E3 in May.

Nice, thats good to hear because im sure ive seen some third party ps2 controllers that look exactly the same :-p Back then i thought they were ugly now as they were coming out with the ps3 was just plain wrong.

Playstation 2 ---- Matrix Infinity
Gamecube --------- Ninja Mod
Xbox 360 --------- Firmware Hack
Xbox-------------- Duo X2
PC---------------- Core 2 Duo e6850, 9800gtx, 4gig ddr2-8500, 780i Vista 64-bit

Might as well redesign the thing. They have another 7 months due to delays. I really wasn't too concerned with it in the first place though. I figure a couple seconds with it and it would become second nature. I've never had trouble adapting to a controller...

personally i liked the controller, I bet if they set up a display for people to hold and play with in their hand not a lot of people would want it to be changed. I think most people thought it was a lot bigger than they were originally going to make it. From the graphic i saw on wikipedia, i felt as thought it would be super comfy and a great design. Now we'll prob get some big pile of poo

you may of liked it, rumors are the beta testers who gamed a considerable amount with those controllers had cramps and stuff in their hands.. so its being overhauled for the better

No the reason the ps3 controller was scratched is because the people that developed the controller for Sony, Encleon or something wanted to change the boomerang controller and sony said no. So encleon or whatever the company's name is sued sony for 90 million dollars, and now sony can now longer used the technology of "Dual shock controllers"

Who buys things from people they met on a forum site?

I think they should use the same ps2 controller but a little heavier and a tad bigger. with a media button in the middle like x360

pretty good? PS2 has the best controller, well besides 360...but Dual Shock has been my favorite since the beginning...at least the D-Pad...

it's true you can't use the ps2 controller.
I have no idea what you mean by the tv remote comment, though. I don't think any system will use a TV remote to play it...
weird.

I think he was trying to insult the revolution controller. I'd be happy with a controller that's durable and doesn't break if you drop it a few times and step on it.

i really like the xbox 360 controller, and find it hard to think how it could get any better, apart from nintendo revs but thats a whole different thing altogether, lol.

The problem ive had with my controllers is the weight sony has always had those really light controllers. the x360 got it almost perfect but i'd like a controller a tad heavier.

really, i thougt that it was the best thing about the xbox 360 controller, the weight is perfect for me and so is the weight distribution.

boomerang. it was a really poor design. but if you look at iut this way. if you got mad when playing a game, you would throw it and it would come back to you. instead of smashing on the wall. lol.
but if you threw it wrong it may come back and smash you rite in the face, lol. K.O!

Don't judge the consoles by specs, more isnt always better, espec in PS3 specs.i know the truth, ask if u wanna know.......

Do not compete without valid correct technicality on your terms of the argument.
