I do.

It looked so cool.

Instead, we get this:

Pathetic.

No. The circle button hanging off the edge really annoys me.

It doesn't seem that bad looking at it now...  It might even of felt better playing games with it than the six axis.. they should of just left it the way it is... instead of uping the price with stupid motion sensing...

What are you trying to prove? This was between the two versions of the PS3 controller. The Wii has nothing to do with it, nor do stupid people who would actually throw something into their TV.

I miss it. It was the only controller you could throw across the room in a blind rage, and it would come back to you unscathed after you'd cooled down a bit.

What's ironic is after the Ps3 launched,the SixAxis never needed a recall,whilst the Wiimote needed one. Even more,didn't we stop using AA batteries 10 years ago?

Um...  Using rechargeable AA's takes a steaming pile of crap all over using propriety battery formats.

Wiimote never had a recall.

All that happened was that they sent you a new thicker wrist strap for free.

I hated the boomerang controller. I am much happier with the Sixaxis.

I really don't understand all this hate with the sixaxis how its analog sticks are horrible and the triggers are terrible... They seem perfectly fine, even for shooters. :|

Sony would have sold 8 million consoles by now if they kept the boomerang.

Here are more pictures of the SUPERIOR PS3 controller:

The PS3 controller was critizised a lot. But looking back, that contraller was far better than the SIXAXIS.

I used to think the same thing until I got my 360.  The 360 controller is sooo much better that I'm considering just not getting a PS3 at all.

um no. cuz first of all, it looks like a boomerang that you can shove it up yo ass. second, analog sticks look like they only move about 0.4cm third, too damn small for americans lastly, just shove it up your ass50cent_0927
it is like the biggest controller of them all what you talking about do you know how you suppose to hold it ? and you talk about shoving things alot like you are experienced in that field, makes me wonder about your like preferences...

actully i think the 360 controller is crap, i liked the original small xbox1 design, they just shoulda tacked on 2 extra shoulder buttons, in fact i had a 3rd party controller that did that for xbox 1 and it was great.

I like neither, i want a new but not weird controller. The boomerang controller looks very uncomfortable. They should have changed it alot but kept it the same (like the 360 controller)

:shock: 

your joking? the 360 controller is basically thre perfect controller (except for 2d fighting games- you need a d-pad for that. The 360 dpad should not be used for  the primary movement. Works great for simple switches of weapons, characters, etc.  (GeoW, Oblivion, etc.)

I actually liked where they were going with the batarang. Untill the Sony fans cried about the controler not having the same freaking design, present in past generations.

I blame every gamer that bashed it. Sony didn't use it because of the negative reaction. It's all your faults.
