We really had gotten used to the boomerang, so we have to admit we felt something of a void when Sony confirmed last month that they were yanking the prototype design and would unveil the real PS3 controller at E3. And unveil it they did, as part of the PS3 dog-and-pony show this evening. Yeah, we're kind of underwhelmed, too. Still, despite its resemblance to past Sony controllers, it does have some solid features, including X-Y-Z, pitch, roll, yaw and lateral motion detection, and Bluetooth for wireless play. And chances are the learning curve of switching from the PS2 controller to this one will be all of about five minutes.

all along i was thinking that this was their controller.

Motion sensitive eh? I knew that Wii controller was infectious (hehe).
There's one thing lacking on the PS3 controller though --- VIBRATION.
Prolly got something to do with that company which sued Sony for copyright infringement for the vibration thing on the dual-shock controller.

Looks samey with their previous controllers but that's ok because it's a classic and many people have gotten used to it. And honestly I hated the boomerang controller.

But honestly, I was disappointed by Sony's lack of creativity and originality. I'm sure they've run out of ideas in the controller department. But anyway, I was prepared for that. Sony tries hard to be Nintendo but they won't want to be.

what's wrong with the controller? why change the controller, when many people are already used to..
why fix it when it's not broken...
