imo keep the exact same controller and do whatever it is sony does. To me its the most comfortable controller and was the reason I mainly bought my multiplats on ps3 unless i knew the graphics were hugely different (force unleashed)
As for replaceable batteries? I'm appalled by the descision to take those out. I would burn through a pair of batteries a day and it really upset me that the 360's controller used batteries. Do you know how many times i have gone to my friends parties and i here complaints about batteries not working. I have used my ps3 CONSTANTLY since a purchase in 07 of July and never had a problem with the controllers battery going completely dead or even heard of the problem until today. If I bought batteries for as many times as I used it by the time the controller died I would have to bought DOUBLE the price of a controller. Not shitting i would say it would have cost me $120.
EDIT: If you honestly want replacable batteries buy an offbrand controller. They have them actually, and they take AA batteries. Same exact shape as the dual shock.
