First things first: NOT THE SPHERE PICTURED IN THE ARTICLE.
Secondly: Thank ***.
Why'd the even use that picture? Anywho, who didn't know this would happen? NO ONE liked the original design, and Sony had all ready said it wasn't final. Thank *** they were smart enough to completely scrap it.
I thought they'd previously confirmed that there wouldn't be a redesign?
eh, all I remember them saying was that it was a prototype. In other words, if people hate it, plan to see something different.
I honestly don't see what's bad about the old one. Sure, it looks madly retarded, but chances are, the grips are more comfortable then PS2's. Anyway, they can only make it better. And maybe they won't make a controller that's not exactly like PS2's.
That's a shame. Now I'll have to buy a seperate boomerang to play with instead of having it all in one. That is a ****ing shame, indeed.
eh...it didnt look all that horrible to me. Couldnt be much worse than the original xbox controller, or better yet the gamecubes.
I like the Gamecube and Original XBox helps people with big hands, but I'm glad there doing a rechange given the chance I get a PS3.

Yeah, I was never really that bothered by the looks, other than is looking really quite tacky. The only thing that bothered me was the size. That shape of controller can be extremely comfortable if it's the right size, but if it's too small it can be hand-mangling. I hope they don't go back to using the DualShock 2, though. That thing always had crappy handles.
They shouldn't redesign the controller. The original control is so perfect and comfy, why would they want to change it?
Yeah, that might have some effect on it.
I was okay with the banana, but I'm happy they're remodeling it. I'm just praying they don't make it EVEN MORE retarded.
i dno i think that the sphere is kinda kool
dnt hate me
*hate*
Seriously, that thing looks IMPOSSIBLE to play with.
Nooooo, the sphere.
That's just a sketch. And if you read the post and the article, it's not actually real.
I know. I'm just saying it would be impossible to play with, as one poster above me said he liked it.
I never really had anything wrong with the first design either. I thought it was just nice to rip on its look, since fanboys of Sony look at them as flawless. Also to hint that it would appeal to women gaming more then the others would. =D
Good. And I do hope they make it similar to the Dualshock 2, or something equally comfortable.
