    -wait, now sony IS making a dualshock 3 to replace the sixaxis copntroller

    geez, slightly hpocritical from "we have no interest in rumble, its outdated" pr spewing sony eh? http://kotaku.com/gaming/breaking/so...ble-301715.php
    So ps3 owners expect the dual shock 3 to come out in europe in some months, though if the rumours of sony abandoning the sixaxis are true then theres a few games that needed motion sensor to work that may have to downgrade there graphics and get on the wii.
    and ive said it before adn ill say it again, im stilll playing my ps2 every day (damn ff12 is addictive) but a week doesnt go by without an article on a game site about another sony screw up, least this time its just eating there own "innovation -and totally not stole from nintendo" words this time and brining back the good old dual shock.

    just fix those friggin' annoying L2/R2 buttons and then your getting somewere, if it aint broke dont fix it.

    Ug I hate those shoulder buttons on the Sony controllers. I totally dig the triggers for SexBox. The additional shoulder buttons - but only the two of them - work on the 360, but having four of them and no triggers, ug, too wrong-feeling, and it never felt at the right angle either whenever I played a PS.

    Anyway, Sony should really learn to just shut up and never-say-never, because if you do, you usually end up eating your words, chubby-chaser style.

    Yeah Ive never been a fan of the Sony controllers....
    For all the systems that they have had Ive always found them a bit uncomfortable especially in games that nearlly all the buttons are used.

    The first Xbox controllers were too big....but when I finally bought that first Xbox they had shrunk the size of them....the smaller ones I loved....they fit so nice in my hands and I felt like I could access all the buttons with ease (exception being those little black and white buttons but those usually had less immediately important in game functions)....The small Xbox controllers were my new favorite controllers, old ones being Dreamcast (though I would like to see VMU's again)....
    The new Xbox controllers in the same spirit are very nice....

    still on the fence....

    like hellsing, i still rock the ps2. i've got an hdtv, though, and am planning on upgrading to a next-gen system.

    the only reason i could see myself going to xbox is dead-rising, which now i hear may be coming to ps3. i just don't like the controllers, and none of their exclusive games appeal to me that much.

    i'm a big fan of the wii, though, from the times i've played it...plus they are about to make "zombies ate my neighbors" available to download for the wii, so that's a plus.

    i've always been a fan of the playstation, and i really like their controllers. plus all my games from ps1 that i still play (symphony of the night, re 1&2, spider-man, abe's odyssey, etc) and all my ps2 faves (metal gear 3, battlefront 2, guitar hero, gta san andreas, tony hawk 4) would be compatible with the new system. however, the high price and lack of forthcoming games is a bit of a turn-off.

    so, i'm on the fence, like i said. guess i'll just have to wait a few months and see what happens (price drops, new games)

    They should have left rumble in to begin with. And yes, the L2 & R2 bottoms suck. They are even easier to accidental hit.

    Yet, Nintendo and Microsoft still use it. If it is not broke then don't fix it.

    Viva La Rumble. I can dig it.

    Also, I prefer triggers & buttons combo like on the Xbox, two sets of buttons is problematic, at least that's what I've found. Plus, triggers are better for racing games, like finger-sized pedals...or for shootahz - actual triggers, muahahaaaa.
