Oh god, I was still in Middle School when I first laid my eyes on that pic... thought the PS3 looked ridiculous.

Now im the one with the PS3 and I can hear some Sony exec laughing maniacally somewhere in Tokyo.

It looks like it was built for comfort and accessibility. This just prove that we care more about looks than anything else.

Yeh, really. That looks painful to hold for more than 10 mins.

I want to use that controller. If they sold those along with DS3's I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat

Sony stole that design from something in Batman's utility belt. Gosh Sony and their thieving ways>.>

Looks uncomfortable. Anyway, I'm happy with the current control setup, which they've been using since the PS1, and it still works.;)

I thought it looked cool, as I always welcome change... but I found out that it would be a freakin pain in the hands. Literally.

I actually didn't hate it as much as everyone else. No one has held it, so I don't know how you can tell it's comfort (though I know imagining it it doesnt look all that comfy).

They should have carried over some of the stuff though: Look at the shiny face buttons, they should have had that. The D-Pad is nice and glossy too.

The current controller could be a lot better (though I dont have problems with it). They could have made a bigger version, change the analog sticks, concave the triggers, indent the sticks.

MS's controller is pretty good. The one piece of hardware they actually did right.

Everyone remember when they first revealed the Wii, and there were different colored remotes? Or when they told us the motion sensing would be realistic? Ha ha...

Looks more comfortable than the dated dualshock design.

Its funny because the people who actually held it behind closed doors at the conference, said it felt really good.

I still don't see what exactly is wrong with it. It may look ugly but if it's comfortable, then what's the big deal?
