its time for a new controller, as the dualshock was nice for the ps1 and even the ps2 but its one generation to long already.]]>Mar 14th 2006 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/I cannot think of a game that has made vibration an interesting, original and neccessary component.
With that being said, I can't imagine this would effect the ps3 as there are numerous other vibration technologies out there either in the peripheral pc world or a homegrown solution as nin has done.]]>Mar 14th 2006 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/
On another note, given Sony is losing the battle as some company apparently owns the rights to gaining pleasure due to causing things to vibrate, I'd have thought there are lots of Women stocking up on certain "items" that might fall under the same category.]]>Mar 14th 2006 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/
Can't stand it. It's an SNES controller with small grips. It's well over a decade old, and the analog sticks are tacked on to where they fit, not where they're comfortable.

The 360's controller is much more comfortable, as is the Wavebird, unusual button layout and awful Z button aside.]]>Mar 14th 2006 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/But I dislike the easy-to-hit (X) button. It should be hard to push. I've accidentally turned the console on, and accidentally paused the game a few thousand times.

I like having the triggers recessed a bit more than the 360. The Dual Shock always sucked for me because I felt like I was pinchign the controller in my hands. With the DC and the Xbox the controller rested on your index fingers more than was pinched by them. The 360 is still this way, but not as much.]]>Mar 14th 2006 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 14th 2006 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/
you hit on the mark by mentioning Logitech, seems they know how to upgrade a controller's design...look at their RumblePad 2 USB controller for PCs, its a more correctlly evolved PS Dual Shock controller--which if you look in their PS line, they seem to be more egronomical for hands.

sorta miss the original WingMan RumblePad which seemed to fit hands better...and had throttle, which is missing for some reason for the RP2....

The Xbox 360 to me is one of the most comfortable controllers i've ever held, right up there with the N64 controller..]]>Mar 14th 2006 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/
Go go fanboys. C'mon dawgs get down with your rad l33t selves.

so ghay.]]>Mar 14th 2006 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/Mar 15th 2006 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/sony-not-doing-well-in-court-effort-to-save-the-dual-shock/And yes vibration was novel when it first came out but its not really a requirement (more annoying accually), now if it were true force-feedback then Im sure we'd want to fight this more.]]>Mar 16th 2006 11:07AM
