Thanks: Gave 21, Got 136 | 360 style pad for the PS3
Now, before anyone starts the usual, this isn't really an invitation for debate. I'm sure some prefer the PS3 pad, as i do for adventure games and others BUT for FPS i need my sticks in the right place and decent triggers. My hands are too big for the PS3 pad when it comes to this and they cramp up having to claw inwards to use it.
So, anyone know of any? That definitely work, not down the speculation route as i've tried before. http://www.play.com//ProductOutline....3507653&r=PCSH for example works fine until you try and play Resistance 2 and the sticks don't seem to point in any kind of correct direction. Left is up, right is down, cats and dogs LIVING TOGETHER.......
Cheers in advance.

I'm in the same boat mate, DS3 is great for everything but FPS's IMHO.
There's these that are due any time but no reviews yet. I'd love them to be good but I'm sceptical

Glad i spotted this post,i find the six axis controller to small for my hands(makes my hands sweat  ),i don't mind the location of the sticks,just the overall pad size.So keeping tabs on this thread.

I'm amazed a 3rd party hasn't done a wireless xbox 360 clone (yet).

Shambles.

Shambles. | I've dropped Dreamgear a line to see if they'll consider shipping to the UK or if they have any plans to get these to a distributor/retailer over here
I'll post back when/if they get back to me
If there's enough interest we may be able to get a bit of a discount for a bulk purchase..

Good idea. If there's $250+ for them, they might reconsider.

Same boat here, Always had a PS 1 2 & now 3 but befor the 3 came out I had an Xbox and and I mch prefered there controller. I would not pay over the odds for a wireless one if it could be bought as I still think the PS3 is good, just not as good as the 360. But lets face it the PS3 is better than the 360 thats why I sold mine to fund a PS3 and would not go back at all.
I agree it would be great if you could get a wireless PS3 controller for £40 ish shaped the same as a 360 one
Don't pay $250 for one though.

Nobody is suggesting that, they are $54 on the Dreamgear website so that figure was in terms of a bulk purchase.

+1 for one of those controllers. I always get multi platform games on the Xbox at the moment as the controller is better (and the 360 tends to be the better version). If the PS3 has a better controller (DS3 is good, just not AS good as the 360 controller) then I may be swayed so start buying none exclusive PS3 games. (My mates on PSN will be chuffed)

heh I was suggesting they'd possibly ship here for an order for 5+ units totalling over $250. not offering them that for one.
Not $250 better than my DS3, but very possibly $55 better.

Hey Gang,
I have just bought a ps3 and I was saying earlier today to a work mate that i prefer the xbox360 pad and there should be a 360-esque pad for it.
So if there is any chance of a group buy of one of these i will definately be interested.
Will keep checking on this thread for any updates,
Flash
