This is exactly what I was thinking. Looks like a boomernana, yet after you think about it, it would be a very comfortable controller.

Remember don't judge a book by it's cover.........in this case don't judge a controller by it's prongs.

lol, i was just coming here to post that. :D

A guy on IGN compared it to the natural way of playing a snare drum, which is cool since I'm a also a drummer.

If playing the PS3 is like driving a steering wheel, I'll be real good.

Yeah, but what if holding a steering wheel isn't natural. They haven't covered their scope.

Seriously, when I'm driving, I never fit on to one position. And it's rarely 10-2.

Well, I just pretended I was playing a video game with one of the bananas in our kitchen. It felt... okay. Not to say that a banana is a 100% accurate representation of the PS3 controller. Luckly, I have good sized hands and long fingers but those Japanese gamers... unless they're Yao Ming-esque... it's going to be tough...

your not driving a car with it.. thats not what they're saying.

they're saying its curved like that because its a relaxed way for the wrists to sit. whether you drive like that or not, it doent FEEL like a steering wheel. its just trying to discribe it.

I play the drums also.

but I dont think it'd be a problem to use that controller, doesn't seem too bad.

You're "arguing" a point I've already considered. I never meant to reference the steering wheel directly.

I still stand by the fact that I don't like the concept of steering wheel's comfort factors. I would rather have an airplane steering wheel. Now that would be some flavour.

Whatever Sony tries, I'll never have one of those in my hands. :mad:


... Ok, I'll probably try it as soon as I see one. :D
