I think you are the only person who liked it. Everyone when the first saw it was like "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

Most people were relieved it was scrapped. (Including ME!!!:-)

They should keep the same design but make the controller a bit bigger and redesign the triggers again

You guys do realize that the controller was actually really small, and that because of the long handles it looks massive. If you've seen videos with some guy using it, you would notice how small it actually is. And the guy was actually impressed with the controller and how comfortable it is. ever since that video, i've been wondering what the controller would have been like. Before that video though, my initial reaction was WTF are you kidding me?

I liked it too, but there's always cry babies out there who whine and complain before trying anything, I hope they do make a special edition, because it was suppose to be ergonomic and the dualshock design they have now isn't ergonomic, but w/e.

And yeah the pictures don't do the controller justice because the pictures make the handle look REALLY long when the truth is the controller was smaller than that. There was a debunk vid a while back and a E3 video about the controller.

I much prefer the design of the DualShock, but wen i saw the way you would hold the controller, and it would seem comfortable. your hands would be holding it at a more comfortable angle

Although I had no problems with the bommerang, I thought Sony returning the original tradionnal design of the PLAYSTATION controller was the better choice because that design is a trademark and PS fans got used to it and the PS3 IMO would look cheap if the DS3 wasn't back.

I think it looked VERY uncomftorable, and I was very glad that they kept the same controller design, i've been using that for over a decade now and it is just to good to change! Although I wish they kept the same R2&L2 buttons. It would have been intresting to use the boomerang controller though, it might have been cool.

I really gotta thank you for that pic...I almost forgot how retarded that controller looked. And I agree...as uncomfortable as it looks, combining that with sixaxis...we'd have a lot of pissed off gamers in the world.

I hate the boomerrang shape, but I kind of wish Sony went with the PSP slim style D-pad and buttons. They look like an improvement. It takes a while to properly break in a dual shock until the d-pad is nice and smooth like that :P

I actually like the boomerang controller.

When I use the SixAxis/DS3, I have to use the middle to end of my fingers to support the controller, while my palms are a couple centimetres away. This is because the handles are too straight. If I tried to wrap my hands around the handles tightly, then my wrists would hurt. The boomerang controller seemed to solve this problem, making the handles more angled. My hands would probably be able to wrap around the handles painlessly.

If Sony ever releases the boomerang controller, I'd buy it immediately (after my SixAxis dies though). By the way, the controller was pretty small.

LMAO! How can you seriously looks someone in the face when handing them this clown controller? Think this controller was created with the game LAIR on the mind.

honestly saw it in some random thread months ago about the same topic and someone answered with that video and stunned me. Never really bothered with it, but I think, if memory serves, it was a video on gametrailer

I honestly would prefer the boomerang over the controller now, the six-axis is too small and shaped like a box for me, I have large hands and holding it feels awkward and my hands feel like they are cramping. When I first seen the boomerang I thought it was horrible then I got a better look at it and it just looked more comfortable than the traditional controllers, I can see why they chose to go with the traditional look, just wish they offered the option to buy the boomerang at retail stores.
