what happened to the PS3 concept controller?

Remember the one, with the long handles?

look for it appearing as a set piece in this upcoming movie

Kutaragi threw it, hoping it would return due to its boomerang design, but sadly that was the last anyone heard of it.fuzzysquash

That controller was ergonomic and well designed. The sixaxis was put together in haste from a spare parts bin. I think they only scrapped the boomerang because they lost the suit with Immersion. Now that they have settled, perhaps they may bring the good design back.foxhound_fox

I agree. I would have preferred the other controller

IMO Sony got scared and went the safe route after it was labelled a boomerang. djestar

Yeah, a lot of people didn't like the original concept.

But I for one would have preferred the concept controller. I've been playing with essentially the same PS controller for over 10 years so I would have liked a new design

People actually like this design now? I think it looks horribly uncomfortable.
