I saw a picture of the PS3 controllers and I think they suck donkey. They're big, bulky, and look very uncomfortable. They also look really cheap and crappy, kinda like some of the Mad Catz controllers. I really hope that these will not come out with the PS3 because it would be a huge disaster. Maybe Sony can get their act together and try to get thier old Dual Shock controllers back. I think those have worked fine and I love them more than any other controller out there, that's including XBox and Gamecube. Tell me what you guys think....http://media.ps3.ign...mg_2786347.html

The PS3 isn't coming out for a long time so hopefully by then they will probably have something else in mind. I don't like them at all.

I think the controllers look dumb, but may very well be extremely comfortable. I doubt that an experienced company like Sony would make bad controllers when they don't need to change. The controllers are most likely an improvement

The handles look insanely huge compared to the buttons. And I concur about boomberangs. Someone could really kill someone with it.

I agree with Matt here. I highly doubt that Sony would screw up their flagship product. I can guarantee that everyone will quite griping the moment they actually hold the controller. I would bet that it is very comfortable, and rests naturally in your hands. The buttons will most likely feel more natural to reach, so I don't see what the problem is. It does look very cool, and I agree, it does look like a boomerang.

they look to me like boomarangs or some weird alien spaceship thing. I don't think I like them much.... ;) I hope they actually turn out to be better suited for your hands and extended playing times or else that would just suck.

Sure w/e they look kinda stupid and like "boomarangs" but you can't really judge it until u have it in ur hands and are using it. I think the longer handle things could be more comfortable, but they could be just a little shorter.

It look's Crapy But i doubt Sony would put something as cheap looking as that in the markets, hopefully the'll change it. Well the are always the change of Unoficall controlers being made which look and work better.ohh and it does look like a boomarang if they do bring it out i wana see if it works like one lol.

Theres no reason to moan. I'm fairly certian hat many many third party developers will make "classic" controllers. Just buy one of them...

I think alot of people will agree with me that it looks terrible. Like a boomerang....but thats not the most important thing about controllers. How they feel and work when playing games is on the top of my list and if it plays good i will forget how bad it looks.Also its wireless so thats pretty damn neat. Up to 7 wireless controllers right? Awesome! Although i doubt i'll ever use more than 4. I hope they can get an original controller wireless in the future as i love the ps2 controllers.

Quit . Sony wouldnt change the controllers without having a good reason too. Dont you think it knows the impact of bad controllers(look at the xbox). Im sure they have a valid reason for this. Also, none of you have tried the controllers out, so you dont know how they feel. Wait till you trye them out, and then you can complain all you want.

true truebut they may actually be ergonically correct, if it fits the hand will, then all the better i thought the GC controllers looked stupid, then i held it, fit naturally in my hand, not uncomforable like original NES/SNES controllers
