I went to [Eb] today well the afternoon and noticed they sell controllers that mimic the xbox 360 controller while still retaining the ps3 look, you all may think oh so what! who cares, but i didn't actually handle it while the worlds best xbox controller is the"razor" for pro gamers. The controller at[ Eb] will give you an edge on ps3 with thumb sticks mimicking the xbox and the triggers to, tho i asked the guy and he said yeah it feels like ps3 controller but plays like xbox controller, with all the controversy from kinects dash board theme may annoy you it could be change to get this controller so you can have 2 similar controllers 4 two platforms, i like ps3 and xbox. but it's my personal preference that i dislike the ps3 controller, but love both. all im saying is this controller could make your gaming enjoyment better, for cheap price then im buying it. but need a final verdict since i didn't test it! the guy at eb seems positive it's xbox2ps3. Leave me comment if you used it, I'm not sure what the controllers called but it's 3rd party controller. If this is true then ps3/xbox gamers can come together and stop the hating. just different firmware for each console that will be different, while the games are still same with exclusives for each platform will be different. This controller could bring console wars to a "end" but sadly i didn't test it. since i was willing to pay 200 for custom built xbox controller for ps3 this was ages ago tho 8 months ago i kinda gave up till eb released this controller. i think it's wireless too , it was not actually viable in Australian market. tho if any one has used the controller leave your feed back. Crosses fingers will console wars ever end due new controller, for each platform, well this controller could be start, Most of the controllers that people listed here? is not the one from electronic boutique, i searched eb catalogue no list of this. but they were selling it in that store. Just wish i looked at the logo as i was mesmerized that some one created such a thing.

Really? You can get Fragnstien, a mouse and joystick combo for PS3 which is extremely accurate for FPS games (why I'm guessing you bought the controller) for like half the price.

Google is your friend. :) The Fragenstein is a PS3 mouse-and-keyboard combo, while its sister the xScorch does the same for the 360 (both are also compatible with the PC with the drivers from their website). The mouse has to work within the expected limitations of an anlog stick, so it might not always feel the same as using a mouse with a PC game, but it's a close experience. The precision of mouse movements means you can set the game's analog sensitivity far higher than what you would be able to cope with when using a real analog stick, thus giving you an edge against those playing with a normal controller.

Ah maybe not, ill leave my pc to do pc things, and contoller to do what contollers do, thanks for help tho :) really, but just want to know if this controller is what it seems. that controller takes the fun out of gaming since you must be bound to a table to use mouse, that defeats the purpose why i have big tv, :(' i cant thow the contoller at people either with fragenstien either unless i decide what helped me more"'the mouse"or wii stick", that's bad cause it's two seperpate parts, wii stick and mouse, i cant relate to it, it's like asking me to cook eggs with no pan.

Yeah, the Fragnstein makes absolutely no difference in games with large auto aim assistance like Resistance 2. However, it actually helped quite a bit on games with no auto aim, like Uncharted 2 for instance. I have one, they are actually pretty nice.

Firstly aim assist/auto aim is on almost all console shooters except they have varying levels. I find Fragnstien to be advantageous irrelevant of aim assist strength. Secondly very few users even know Fragnstien exists so no its not what PS3 owners use.

I turn it off, even if it makes me lose. Games are just more fun that way, for me. Also, players that use the mouse/kb type setup for ps3/360 should be listed as such. There should be an icon next to the gamertag so you know if you were bested by someone using a superior control scheme.

I bought one of those green glowing clear ps3 controllers that uses the 360 layout plus better shaped triggers. Works horribly for Demons Souls, your R1 shield button is always held down, and the moved joystick actually makes your 2 fingers touch. I wish the razor one thats coming out for 360 worked with ps3 also. But I'm fine with the ps3 pad though. I use the wired 360 controller for pc games though.

I asked some one at [eb] why game stop never bought them out, it 7 or 8 years ago it was private franchise, then few years later game stop bought them out, they just wanted to leave the name there since it accommodates gamers that they really didn't take the company over when they did, plus it costs more paperwork to change the name.

So from a few statements you people say you have used this controller, if so is it true the triggers are bad or worse or good, Plus i fnd it dumb logitec has avoided this subject, since before ps3 and xbox 360, they were making crazy joysticks now i rarely here from them apart from "key boards"mics"fragenstien type of controllers"

I don't get why people use mouse & keyboard controllers for the 360/PS3. It's a level playing field! If you get your ass kicked with the standard controller, it's not because the controller is bad, it's because YOU are.

Some people like crippled controls. I for one, absolutely abhor it.

They probably didn't put it in because of the VATS system. The gunplay in Fallout 3 was crap anyway, even on PC.
