PlayStation 3 fans should be dancing in the streets, and critics congratulating themselves, as one of the most ridiculed next-gen controllers has apparently bitten the dust.

Phil Harrison, Sony's president of the Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios division, announced today that the often ridiculed  PlayStation 3 controller is undergoing a redesign.

Harrison made this statement in a speech that was mainly about the Xbox Live-like PlayStation Network Platform. Apparently the "boomerang/banana" shape that has worried many gamers since it's unveiling will be revised and revealed at E3 in May.

So, now the waiting begins...

I dont know about you guys but I kinda liked the controller even though it looked like some kind of lesbian sex toy. I cant wait to see what the new one looks like.

that's a shame really.  I was looking forward to some innovation in the next generation.  The PS controller is not perfect, it could be tweaked.  And it is the same look since gen 1.  People had to bitch about it without even trying it, that's just plain sad.  I hoped the new design would come out and kick ass...but no, whiney babies didn't like it. 

spoiled brats....TRY SOMETHING NEW!!!

Yeah I agree. You shouldn't judge anything before you try it. These people are just afraid of change. You shouldn't punish Sony for taking risks. They should have all watched this: http://www.forz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/im … bunked.gif. That might have calmed them down.

ppl whinge  about this controller how about the x box controlers now theres sumthing u can whine about

yer i was saying to my friends that i think it    Actually looks good

and that it proberly will feel more Comfortable

and that it might not make you have cramp in your hand.

I like it the way it was and i wish sony could keep the design just to annoy people (BUT I KNOW THEY CANT).

Its a shame really

Oh and Happy Mothers day to mothering folk...

I was really lookin forward to that controller  :'( to bad those a$$e$ had to complain or whatever they did to make em change it. I wonder what the new one will look like...i hope its worse than the boomerang just to piss everone who complained off! HAHA!

Uuuuuum...Mother's day is the 2nd Sunday in MAY, not MARCH....

--nm...didn't realize you weren't in the States

Back on topic...

This is really BS though... I liked that controller, kinda looked comfortable. *Sigh* stupid @$$holes... :'(
