Power A spent a good deal of time taking what's best about the Xbox 360 controller—the most natural "traditional" controller—and bringing it to the PS3. It's called the PS3 Pro Elite, and it's only $50. You have your left analog stick up on the top left and D-Pad down on the bottom. The palm parts extend much lower, and are coated with a grippy, but breathable material, which makes a huge difference when you play games for hours on end.
For a cheaper, wired solution, Power A has a $20 controller that sacrifices stuff like Sixaxis, but still gives you the 360-style shape that will be great for secondary and tertiary and quaternary controllers that you only use when friends come over.
concave sticks :hyper

Looks....funky. Hopefully it'll function better than my Shadow 360-style controller I currently have, but this is what I want. A 360 controller for my PS3.

i think those grips are just soft rubber, which is fine
here's the comparison shot

Why would I want to use an inferior controller for the ps3 ???

Exactly! Buy this!

That's why they're offering it. You don't have to suffer with a fucking dualshock anymore.
-
I'll probably get the wired one for shooters, I already have a dual shock and original sixaxis
-
I never had trouble with the dual shock. But yeah, the Xbox controller is superior.

I've been playing PS1 and PS2 games with an Xbox360 controller lately. :smug

thought some people who don't like the PS3 pad might be interested in this controller. It looks pretty good and is supposed to have all the functionality of the standard dual shock 3. So, analog buttons, sixaxis motion stuff, and wireless. It has two layouts and one is the same as the 360s (this view doesn't give you a good idea of the triggers, but they too look 360 style). It's also pretty cheap at $35 considering it is wireless.

I'll probably pick one up but the one thing that is always missing from these controllers is the ability to swap between L1/R1 and L2/R2. PS3 games are weird and some use the front shoulder buttons and others use the back ones.

looks...painful.
