So what are the differences besides wireless between the PS2 and PS3 controllers? Couldnt someone just plug in thier PS2 controller and use that instead? (of course maybe its really comfortable and people wouldnt want to, gotta say it doesnt look as bad as when i first saw it now)

I think most of the graphics has to do with programming. It's not really the looks, but more what happens on screen. I think......

So it appears the real REVOLUTION of next gen is indeed SONY's controller.

As someone in another forum said, When you get mad in a game and throw it, it will come back to you.

all joking aside, its ALMOST starting to grow on me now, kinda like the Gamecube controller did.

Yeah, I thought it was garbage when I first saw it. But I stopped looking at it at face value and started to imagine myself holding it.

It seems it would be very comfortable with long prongs..... Everything is a nice size they just elongated the prongs...

Does anyone see similarities...?

The long prongs have proven to work well with holding the controller with stability.... Whose complaining now...

well if it does one thing it'll stop people from saying they cant get to the left joystick with thier thumb. longer handle means you could grip it a bit lower which would effectivly move the left joy stick higher up.

As with any controller tho, looks aside, you never know untill you actually hold one.

Listen... the long prongs on the N64 proved to be beneficial for holding the controller with comfort and stability.

Now with the longer prongs it just enables that same aspect. The buttons, analog, shoulders, and D-pad are all in SIMILAR positions to the old PS2 controller.... just longer prongs to provide more grip then slip..

Remember also, their may be a REASON aside from Grip for the long prongs... perhaps a pressure sensitive grip for racing games... Squeeze on the right prong for an action and squeeze on left for another action... Maybe something for Fight Night PS3?

ARG!!! this is driving me nuts, i been looking for a while now, Will someone PLEASE find me a picture of the PS3 with its front panel (that slope down on the left of the cd tray) open and showing all the ports and plugs inside.

i saw the picture last night, it has a couple memory stick slots, and some other plugs, but now for the life of me i cant find where i saw that picture at....
