When is the DS3 coming out in the US?

One of the odd things about the DS3 is that the analog sticks feel better than the Sixaxis.

@Squall; The DS is a very dated design, and it shows. Going with the same old was understandable with the PS2, but trying to shoehorn in analog triggers and motion into the same basic design from the mid 90s was a bad idea. That controller needs a major overhaul, and even that may not bring things up to date.

Well tbh i like the layout of the DS more than any controller i have used in the past! I found the XB to be (to begin with) far too big, and then just awkward, the GC controller wasn't too bad but i have always felt that the DS is the most natural!

Sony may change the controller, they might not! Either way i don't mind as i'm sure there will be a way to use the DS controllers with their console :D

I think you're confusing "nothing positive to say about Sony" with "not licking Sony's bootstraps". I complain about all three manufacturers when they do something stupid. Sony's just been dishing out the most stupid lately so they catch a little more flak.

I liked the DS design... In 1998, mainly because I didn't know any better. Since then, console controllers have gone a long way and ergonomically, the 360 controller is vastly superior. Staggered analogs, better triggers, and a more comfortable grip.

And I have plenty of positive things to say about Sony. I've liked the past few games I have played on the PS3 and I've been pretty open about that on this forum. 

No one knows when I can grab a DS3 in the United States? Is it out already?

@Rocket

Sorry for the assumption, just felt like you were dissing them for the sake of it...

I find the 360 controller's triggers the only aspect that i would want on the DS, i don't like the staggered analog's though... Just my preference i guess :D

I go back and forth between the two. For games like DMC or GT, the parallel analogs work just fine. For shooters, I can't stand them. I really prefer staggered analogs.

But I think everyone can agree that the 360 triggers are nicer and the DS definitely has a better d-pad, mainly because the 360 d-pad is about the dumbest idea ever conceived for a controller.

That's merely your opinion.

In my opinion the DS is the best console controller thus far made. It's perfect for all game types, racing, sport, and shooting games. It has a great balance. When you play using a similar controller since the PS1 days the DS begins to feel like an extension of your arm. 

The 360 controller is good, although I prefer the old xbox one (and headset). The triggers are great for shooters, but I'm not too fond of using them outside that genre.

The new xbox elite ones are even lighter then the launch ones, but the triggers are lighter too, making them easier to press down, which is not a good thing in my view, it takes away from the feeling of pulling a trigger, and the controller seems somehow cheaper as a result.

Personally I don't tend to like Playstation consoles because of the dual shock.. using the analog sticks is uncomfortable to me and my hands are NOT small. I always adored the Gamecube controller..

 Good question. Does anyone know?
