New PS3 Controller

Gaming — 09 May 2006

Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation 3 controller at this year’s E3 and it looks like the boomerage is out and the DualShock is back in. However, this time around the Dual Shock has dropped shock support in favor of motion capturing. The PS3 controller will feature six axis of of movement — roll, pitch, and yaw. Wait a second, don’t I remember another game company alrady unveiling a motion capturing controller?

The PS3 controller will be wireless using Bluetooth and charging via USB. Oh wait, that sounds a lot like the XBox 360′s play and charge. I gotta tell you, Sony wins for originality with the new PS3 controller.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

that’s disappointing. I wanted to use the boomerang controller. That one matches with the new console quite well. I’m quite bored with these same ol’ boring ps3 designs and yearn for a newer version of it (such as a boomerang). I’m disappointed.

If the PS4 continues with this boring design, then I won’t be buying their consoles anymore… I hope Sony can come up with good ideas and create their own controllers w/o stealing other companies’ ideas.

Anyway, I guess I’ll get over this one. At least it’s wireless, so that’s good news.

To say that you won’t buy a system because of its exterior design is really very stupid. Don’t buy a system because you don’t like the hardware.

I was really looking forward to the new boomerang controller!
More people would buy Ps3 if the controller was more unique and more original.
