They ditched the boomerang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ImagePs305.jpg) controller.

Now they have another one that's much more similar to the PS2's.

The USB port is for charging it.

Good, I hated that boomerang.

Man...I was lookin' forward to hunting 'roos with my Boomerang Controller. :(

Ha! I thought the logo and controller looked like spider man.

I so glad they changed it. Im thinking that the USB inport on the front is for psp connection?

EDIT: Oh, its for charging it. I was hoping it was for psp...

Yeah, playing PSP on the TV would be awesome.

They do have a way to hook up the PSP to the PS3 somehow.

Except for the 480x272 resolution.

you have a sig!

you have a sig!
Yeah.

It's about time they changed the controller, I hate sony but that boomerang controller was the ****test thing ever, but yeah now they are using the exact same design as the previous 2 consoles weee!

lazy bastards..

It's a good design. Everyone likes it, so why not keep it?

Meh. It'd be better than staring at that tiny screen.

PS3 fails.

I have a hard time telling what the heck is going on in that picture.

So do I...

your serious you know people that like that stupid boomerang design?

No, I believe he was talking about the regular playstation controller.

Good observation Floyd.

The controller also has a "tilt" feature. For example, if you're playing a Gran Turismo game, and you tilt it to the left, your car will slightly turn left.

Thats the Sony CEO trying to control warhawk with his ****ty controller.
Edit: Here it is again.

I just thought of something; If the system was silver, wouldn't the control be too? Or is that just every other system?

The system is available in black.

Ok....

so I guess the numbers are for the player number you are?

of course

The boomerang was way to big. I like this one much better.

Good change, the boomerang sucked anyways.

Of course!If you where playing a hard game,When ever you would throw the controller and yell z0mgwt3hfukkh4xx, It would come back at you and hit you in the face.

Then again it would always serve as a back-up weapon, just in case you don't want to pay and wait for shipping and handling for a boomerang from Australia.

Well that's where the Boomerang originated, you always want the authentic Australian boomerang, not the ones you buy from just anywhere else that's made in China or something.

Why is it so popular in australia then?

Why is it so popular in australia then?it isnt. we call these "stereotypes".

People do it all the time.

Yeah, it's like second nature.

Ahh sony they never change no matter how confusing their controllers are...

Just cos you have a shit opinion about everything.

sony's stock droped 7% yesterday because of a fluke in the testing

Fluke?

The boomerand may have looked ugly but it had some amazing features... now we are stuck with the lame duel shock 2 <.<

The Ps3 has been prosponed to be relised untill March in Europe... Ran out of blue raws o.O

Also... Sony lost rights to the GTA games.

Wouldn't you rather have vibration than motion sensing? I'm sad that we won't have vibration.

I wouldn't mind motion sensing, it would be different.

He is testing the Tilt Function that they ripped, I mean, "Borrowed" from Nintendo.

I actually saw a video of one of the editors on gamespot control Ridge Racer with the tilt function on, and he got the hang of it pretty quickly.
