As long as they're more durable than the Sixaxis, I'm happy. The left analog stick on my Sixaxis is a little messed up and is now tilted forward a little bit. Sometimes I'll notice that with my thumb off the stick, I'll be moving forward very slowly in Call of Duty 4.

Oh, and not to mention the connection cutting out from time to time depending on the game and of course, the triangle button that sticks.

IT"LL BE $54.99

5 bucks less than a Wii Remote + Nunchuck. What's up with expensive controllers nowadays?

Controllers do much more than they used to... They used to be:

- buttons
- plastic
- wire

Now they're:

- buttons
- joysticks
- rumble motors
- accelerometers (on the Wii and PS3)
- infrared camera (on the Wii)
- speaker (on the Wii)
- plastic
- wireless chips for communication

What about blue tooth?

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I pre-ordered one from DVD.co.uk for only £20 and the good thing is they have to guarantee that price for me even if the price goes up :D

DS3 for half-price, mwhahahahahaaaaaa....

Seriously, I have one i ordered from playasia (its half white and half black , so sexy).

The controller is much more responsive, and it seems that they mad the joysticks stiffer(sp?) but they eliminated any deadzone entirely. Its much better quality plastic, seems about as thick as the 360 controller. It just feels more natural, but if you play alot of COD4 it will take awhile to adjust.

Lol, mine just came in the mail today. $60 shipped. Plus, I wanted the white controller. Now when my buddies come over to play, they have to use the standard black controllers---but the King (me) gets the special DS3 controller!
