(pic) I WANT BOOMERANG! (edited with POLL)

its the silver one on the right

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/ps3s-boomerang-controller-reborn-214816.php

note it would be perfect for using it as a steering wheel for driving and flying! (motion controls)

look we have this high tech (bluray, wifi, HD ect...)PS3 and then we have this cheap feeling last gen controller. to me its unacceptable. The sixaxis is not worthy ofbeing the controller to this technological masterpeice of a system. Even the ps1/ps2 dualshock feel like they are made with better material!

i feel that the sixaxis was made with very cheap material and soldfor a high profit to offset the loses on the console, it probably costsony like 20bucks to make each sixaxis

I LIKE BOOMY!

Um. No. Just...no.Spartan8907

YES! come one man the Dual shock 3 it so half ass, i know "if its not broke dont fix it" crap but im really not happy!

yeah i mean the boomarang looked awesome =]

people didnt like it because it wasnt the same as the last 12 years or however long the playstation platform has been around, but maybe sony should have taken the risk, i mean look what the wii did, even the 360 had a different controller

the playstation controlller is bad for fps's IMO mainly for the way the controller is set out but the anywaysssss..... boomerang FFTW!!! LOL

I hate it. I've grown up with the classic PS controller and I think changing it now would be a disaster.

Believe it or not I've seen people posting on here saying they bought a PS1, PS2 and PS3 just because they preferred, liked and felt more comfatable with the PS controller

Um. No. Just...no.Spartan8907

Have you tried boomerang? no! So shut up about the grip and all that crap because we don't know how it is with the boomerang. I trust Sony, so if they choose the Sixaxis it's obvious that something was wrong with the boomerangrogerjak

The Sixaxis design is meh. Just get over it. It's better to have a differentbut good design than a blatant rehash.

I thank god everyday Sony didn't settle on the boomerang design. Actually, the fact that they went with the current sixaxis is proof there is a god.

Seriously, the old dual shock controller for the PS was one of the best controller designs ever. I'm nothing but satisfied that they've just refined the old tried-and-true model throughout their new projects. The only controller I've ever preferred was the 360 controller, but I've been using the Playstation models for so long that playing with sixaxis is second nature. Only without the annoyance of a cord.

the original design is almost perfect a lot better than that boomerang crap

to male the Playstation controller perfect all it needs is a D-pad like the 6 button genesis controller lol

I was referring to the Sixaxis not the Dualshock. You need to read better.

Not only it was retarded for Sony to use a rehash design butthey alsomade it worse.

There would be no way that I could use this controller. It is just way too big and it looks like it would make your hands very uncomfortable after hours of playtime.

I'll stick with the Six-Axis. Better yet bring on the Dual Shock 3

I personally liked the Dualshock 2 but they made the Sixaxis worse. They just couldn't make the DS2 better.

Hence, they need a different design not neccessarily the boomerang.

How can it be meh?!... It is the best controller ever made.. The design is the best .. It fits pretty much every hand comforatble and its been known as the best controller design ever since the dualshock one.

And I think a lot of people agree with me when I say that I have always leaned more towards the playstation because its controller is just the best there is and I would not like a different design just because you need something different.

And since when is originality required in controllers...? Its not like a videogame where you need to keep trying original.. In fact controllers are better if they stay slightly the same (as they all have with exception to the wii) so people can always pick up a game and be familiar with the controller and how it works.

Boomerang was suppose to be ergonomic for those of you who don't know which is better than the Sixaxis just because something looks ugly doesn't mean it's not better. Sony went with Sixaxis cause we have little babies who whine when they can't try something new and make judgements before they even try something.

I don't believe that. The only reason Sony stuck with the classic design: BOTTOM LINE PROFIT. If the boomerang was cheaper or the same price to make as the SIXAXIS they would've gone with it.

They couldn't give a s**t if people would like it or not. They know people would have to like it if they wanted a PS3.

You have to remember that these decisions where made when they where saying things like (and I'm paraphrasing here) "The next gen war doesn't start until we say it does"and so on. At the time they thought they had the gaming world by the corjones.

There is no way that i would be playing with that thing, i mean just look at it. It looks very uncomfortable + rather ugly to say the least.

Im happy with my Sixaxis controller, getting the Dualshock 3 aswell...

Thanks but no thanks sony.

+1 for Boomy.emitsu97

I think Boomy Baby would be a better name XD

To tell you the truth, i think the boomerang was ugly too. It looked really uncomfortable. And i could see my fingures slipping all over those shoulder buttons.

I understand how people felt but still I still wish I could have atleast tried it. I trust sony when it comes to making controllers they've had the best pad for years but the only problem I have wit hthe sixaxis design is the lack of ergonomic and Sony was set out to do that with the boomy we should have atleast given it a try.

Just a simple correction would be fine, not a "lol", thats just rude.

In contrast, you should have said: "That its not ergonomic"- That is the correct way to use the word.

So, yes, you spelled "ergonomic" wrong and your sentence wasn't formed very good.

I thought you guys would like to see the PS controllers through the years. Here they are from the first to the newest.

(No analog, very light and flimsy feeling)

(Analog and rumble, first dual shock)

(Dual Shock 2, nuff said.)

(Sixaxis)

(Dual Scock 3, Same design but I just had to use a different picture... :) )

And there you have it. All the revisions that went to market.

So true, if it wasn't for the people whinning so much, things might be different.

I mean, look at the dualshock 1, no one liked the analogs when it first came out. Everyone prefered using the digital pad because we had used it for so long and were comfortable with it. Eventually we stopped acting liked babies and just dealt with it and learned it well, thanks to Ape Escape and a few other games that made the analogs feel great.

Now when pressure sensitive buttons came into play with the dualshock 2, alot of people didn't like that as well. After games like Metal Gear Solid 2 and Gran Turismo 3, we liked it after a year or two of using them.

With the Immersion lawsuit going on, we all knew that the rumble from dualshock1 and 2 may not appear right away when PS3's controller came out. Sony then implemented a new feature that we all know as Sony's motion sensing technology. It was unique and innovative but recieved the same criticisms that the past controllers had in their first years of release. Eventually we are going to have to face the facts again that this new game playing mechanic is going to have to be embraced sooner or later just like the past. So within the next year or so, we are all going to be comfortable using the motion sensing technology.

Do you see/read what I said and noticed something. With each release of something new added to the playstations controllers, we gripe and complain about it every single time and we eventually get over it with time. Rumble was of course coming back after the Immersion settlement, but people complained otherwise as well. We are a bunch of people that just want, want, want, it's kinda something I don't care for anymore. Motion sensing problems... get over it! Games are starting to use it better, like Folklore and a few others. Using full motion sensing capabilites from the start isn't a good way to introduce how the way it works, Iagree but enventually we will just have to accept the facts and just be happy that we have more ways to interactive to the game than just face buttons and shoulder buttons.

Now as for that boomerang idea, I joked about that already, sorry.
