Finally, the PS3 has a real controller, thanks Ben!

Now even the hardcore Playstation fan would have to admit that the PS3 controller (AKA) SIXAXIS is a little outdated.  Let's be honest for a second.  When the PS1 launched over 10 years ago, the controller was revolutionary. It was comfortable and worked well for the games at the time.  Sony decided to use the same design for the PS2 and I said ok, the design works why not.  As the PS2 began to age FPS started to become really popular on consoles, the design started to feel a little outdated. Also, the gamers today have been gaming for years and we as gamers get older and we grow and as we grew up the controllers start to feel small.  Now I am 29 and I can tell you that the Playstation controller has either gotten smaller or my hands have gotten bigger and no im not fat and besides, the average age of a gamer now is around 30.  The average age at one time was around 16, but guess what? we grew up.

With the popularity of FPS on consoles, Microsoft hit the design just right with the 360 controller.  The sticks are offset and you can play for hours and it always feels good.  The playstation controller is just plain awful, unless you are playing a fighter or some RPG, other than that, the damn thing is garbage.

Ok Sony fanboy's the perfect controller has arrived, courtesy of Ben Heck.  The mastermind behind the XBOX 360 laptop and the Wii laptop. He is the master modder and Ben was able to put the guts of a SIXAXIS controller into an XBOX 360 controller.
