PS3 controller in hand

Marconelly said:Yep, everyone who's seen it in real life has been saying so (including myself) The analog sticks size is what's confusing people - they are actually quite a bit smaller than those on DS2.
Maybe... People keep insisiting it looks like a bannana or boomerang, but it actualy looks more like a design representation of a crescent moon - except that of course doesn't sound very funny
Although, regardless of how it looks, one has to question how ergonomic that shape is.
OK, I couldn't resist:

it is? sorry, had it for a while, nobody's complained. I'll look for something else real quick....Amir0x said:
The analog sticks look like their loose PS2 predecessors, the D-Pad is still a D-Cluster of buttons without connected guides through the diagonals, and there's still no analog buttons that give the feedback range of a trigger to the user. The controller's shape seems more preoccupied with aesthetics than ergonomics.

Seriously though that looks about the size i expected, it looks about the same proportions button wise as the DS2, but there might be some problems with the 'handles' as they dont seem to angle down as much as DS2 (seems to me that will make it less comfortable), also the buttons actually dipping with the curve of the pad at the back isnt going to help any.
But i dunno maybe its some ergonomic masterpiece I cant even comprehend.
loooooool :lol
Buttons are smaller then DS also, Gek's photoshop is pretty close to what the real thing is like.
That said, looking at it closer, I had the distinct impression this thing is purely conceptual - some buttons sticking out twice the height of others (within the same group) because of curvature, doesn't seem like something that we would see in production design.

$64 thousand dollar question is....
Other than the obvious, wireless, is there anything in the DS3 that's extra, that would stop you using a Dual Shock 2? Does anyone know?
Some sort gyroscopic, extra button, pressure sensitive... extra.... thing.
So liksang can sell ya an adaptor, presuming the current USB adaptors don't work.
Even if I did like the DS3, takes time to wear in a new controller doesn't it?

I wasn't worried about the size, just the shape. It looks uncomfortable, and it just looks stupid. I don't want to hold that thing.

I wouldn't mind seeing Sony release an oversized 'Type-G(inormous)' controller for those of you out there with misshapen troll paws for hands. (Fans of the original Xbox controller, I'm looking at you.) However, speaking as someone who finds the DS2 the perfect size and fit for his hands, I'd be extremely irritated if it became the default for the US. Not everyone in the West is some kielbasa-fingered freak, and I'd rather not have to pay extra for a controller I can actually use, as I was forced to with my Xbox.

I'll get you some hand cream for your little girly hands. Got to keep them supple you know.
Anyway if the controller is really going to be that size I'm going to have to buy something larger...so it cuts both ways I guess.

Busting on each other aside, that raises an interesting point. Considering how much hand size varies, isn't it about time for console manufacturers to start selling their systems and controllers separately, and offer controllers in a couple of sizes?
