Playstation 3 Controller
Wow, that is one funky looking controller. It has the exact same buttons as the standard PS2 controller (which is good), but it looks really goofy (which is bad), but it is wireless and uses bluetooth (which is good), but it looks pretty large and unwieldy (which is bad). Hopefully we can actually try it out at E3 without having to wait on a 4-hour line (like you had to do last year to play the PSP) and I'll give you all a full report as to "how it feels".
What the.. w... f... huh? How are you supposed to hold that? Like a stearing wheel? It just looks major annoying to me.
Posted by Zaphod at May 17, 2005 9:29 AMI dunno, it looks kinda futuristic(very cool design), I like it personally....however this is going purely on aesthetics. Who knows how it will feel, however I have confidence in Sony to have made a controller that works and feels right.
Posted by Areku at May 17, 2005 9:35 AMWhatadohusa....and I thought I had seen some weird controllers in my day. 0.0
Posted by Sensei Jinx at May 17, 2005 10:21 AMWhile it may look weird, I think it can actually be a very comfortable controller.
It seems there is enough room to place even larger hands, which is good for everyone outside Japan :)
Posted by Terr at May 17, 2005 11:04 AMThe good news is, when you get frustrated with using this controller and throw it across the room, it'll probably come right back to you.
Posted by Mike at May 17, 2005 3:49 PMOmg that looks so uncomfortable.
What were they thinking.
I'll stick with my ps2 controls please.
Well, Tarious, from what I've heard, that should be a possibility. At least, I assume sense there's been no change in control setup that they'll have SOME way to connect the old ones, just like with the PS and the PS2.
And DARN YOU MIKE! You took my stupid joke...
Posted by True Vox at May 17, 2005 10:04 PMThis is one awesome controller... reminds me of the Dreamcast one without the VMU bits in the middle.
Posted by FTH at May 18, 2005 10:03 AMGreat! So when I get mad at a game and chuck my controller at the tv it will come flying right back to me. Ingenious!
Posted by Daren at May 18, 2005 4:38 PMLooks like a boomerang
Posted by Jawa at May 24, 2005 11:42 PM boomerang it is. just bloody stupid if you ask me.
I f many of you don't know the PS3 controller is pretty comfy because is acctually a little bit bigger than your middle finger(if you don't know the actual size search in the internet there atre a lot of pics regarding to its actul size
Also I think that this controller is going to be more comfortable than the old PS2 and PSX one, OHHHH and for those saying that it sucka and it looks like a boomerang and that is going to be uncomfortable then I have only one thing to say "DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER GIVE IT A TRY FIRST" Sony hasn't let us down before why should Sony led us down when it comes to Next Gen Consoles I'm pretty sure they have a reason of comfortness behin all that bad jokes of the bannana controller or the boomerang
WELL THANX FOR READING THIS AND REMEMBER THIS PS3 IS GOING TO !!!!!!!!!ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They should just use the playstation 2 controllor itnwould probably is better than that boomerang on.
Posted by JOse Manuel at December 8, 2005 3:49 PMThe controller looks really cool to me. It does look like a boomerang. Maybe you all should try it first. Don't judje it by the way it looks
