Pretty sure everyone remember seeing this.

I couldn't imagine using this.

No, it looks painful.

I'm not sure if I would like that controller. I hate the PS3 controller as it is. It's tiny in my hands. Aside from the d-pad, the 360 controller is way better. I'm not saying that the PS3 controller had to be the same, but I was very suprised that they didn't change much of the controller design.

Oh yeah.  That controller would have been awesome!

Yes! I could have played Banana Phone with it and been the coolest kid at the lunchroom!

I'm not sure my fingers could reach the shoulder buttons while using the analog sticks. Or actually use the analog sticks at all for that matter.

This is actually a fantastic design with a lot of foresight put into it. Think about it.

You play a frustrating game like Demons Souls and it drives you so mad that you throw your controller. Thanks to the boomerang design it flies right back to you, so you can catch it instead of breaking it.

But because Sony sold the PS3 hardware at a huge loss, they knew that they had to make the money back on games and accessories, so they scrapped the design. Gamers having to buy new controllers was better for their bottom line and therefore it makes perfect sense that they made Demons Souls the way it is.


But it would come back, hit people in the head, and cause too many lawsuits leading to a controller strap.

You can't make money off of straps. Sony would have been better off by selling official PS3 helmets.

Sony branded helmets would cause overheating ,leading to a recall for replacements with better ventilation. The design would have worked if they added a Yo-Yo string.
