Goof price as well. I'm thinking of picking one up to try it out. It got a good review in OPM.

And here's a video review from Joystiq.

Cheaper than a Sony controller.

Maybe next time I need one I'll pick this up.

that would be necessary for Gran Turismo.....you need good triggers for gas and brake

Lol, for players that prefer a 360 controller, just get a 360.

Oh, yeah. Why didn't I think of that? I can still play Uncharted 2, inFamous, Killzone, Ratchet & Clank, God of War and Gran Turismo on the 360, right?

3rd party controllers generally suck. This thing is probably no different. But at least its cheap to try out.

[CCBrink]

Why would anyone prefer a bigger, bulkier controller? You use this controller you raise the risk of ruining your PS3.

The 360 controller is ergonomically perfect. Dual shock controller is too cramped.

This controller is made by Rocketfish. That is one of Best Buy's brand along with Dynex and Insignia. I remember when I worked there we were told to try to sell these products to people if they were on a budget, even though they generally sucked. I wouldn't get this controller because it probably has poor build quality.

Wish they had this when I went to Veags for the FN tourney on 360. I was at a huge disadvantage against top players who only play on 360.

$3.99

Hold old are you dudes? 70? To cramped? You must have hands like a fucking Sasquatch.

You're one of those guys who never got a 360, so you don't realize how nice the controller is.
When I use the ps3 controller, I feel like I'm using an undersized piece of cheap plastic. Only thing I prefer about the ps3 controller is the analog control.
The 360 controller is outstanding. Right size, right feel, right weight.

Of course this is all subjective, but I'd love a 360-style controller for my ps3.

Ive played with 360 controllers and they feel way to bulky and the analog being in the upper left corner just feels retarded and the back triggers feel stupid.

Those back triggers are absolutely necessary for Forza and other driving games. Try driving with something else without ABS or TCS. They are perfect. IMO:drive:

Look...


Look at the distance from the A button to the base of the right handle. Now compare that space on the DS3...



You see what we mean by cramped? Everything is so congested on the PS3 controller.

The inverted analogs are a preference of mine. Never owned a PS2(unfortunately) or PS1, so all I played was Xbox, then 360. And before that Dreamcast, which has one analog and it was in the same area as the 360's left analog. Matter of fact, the only console I've personally owned that had analog(s) at the bottom of the controller, was the N64.
