    Re: how do you like the PS3 controller?

    I love it. I don't miss the vibration and I love the weight. After I play the PS3 for a while, picking up a 360 controller feels like I'm picking up an anvil.

      Aside from the infamous lack of rumble, I found the triggers to be a little...weird. They don't feel as solid as the 360's triggers, too loose almost. Aside from that, it's the same great Sony controller that's been tried, tested and true. The 360's analog's just seem to be placed better for my hands, though and the 360 contoller (aside from the awful D-pad) is better all-around, IMO.

          I'm interested in getting on myself, and the demos in bestbuy made me miss the rumble. I guess it's nice to hear so many people say they are over it, since I thought it was a glaring loss. The motorstorm game looks like it could have used it.

          but if you get over it quickly, then I won't mind at all. The L2 & R2 triggers, or whatever they are now, feel spongey too.

            While I disagreed with you a while back about missing it. Well I didn't disagree but rather felt I couldn't get used to not having it. Anyways I didn't miss it in Madden but I do somewhat miss it on the shooters. I downloaded the Resistance demo and I do miss the "extra" feeling from the explosions and firing the gun. Most of my shooters will probably be on the 360 anyways so I'm good.
            It's going to take a while getting more used to how light the dang thing is lol.

              I miss rumble so much that if a multiplatform game comes out on the 360, i'll buy it because it has rumble. In fact not having rumble in a driving game, FPS or fighting game is like playing a videogame without audio. That's how much importance I put on rumble it adds to the senses IMO.

                like I said, motorstorm could have really used it with all the collisions and off road stuff. I'll try to see if I can get by without it, but I've loved rumble since the n64 days with goldeneye.

                  It's like pk500 said it's back to the future again circa 1997. If it weren't for the lawsuit we'd have rumble, no doubt.

                    a 3rd party company could do it, but then you'd still not have games with it not programmed in.

                      I played Motorstorm and I missed the rumble. At least the controller wasn't heavy.

                        I am not missing rumble, but I do wish the controller itself had a bit more weight to it. It just feels a little awkward.

                                I definately miss the rumble. Especially since that means no force feedback with wheels. I just got the 360 wheel and it is awesome.

                                I was going to buy the Driving Force Pro for ps2/ps3 but with no FF on PS3 what is the point.
