Sony has shown the controller in the past conference and gamers around the world received one of the biggest surprises since the console was announced. Appearance, features and changes made on the controller caused a division between opinions about the PS3 controller.

Let me make a short review from my point of view…

The Good

Features, including X-Y-Z, pitch, roll, yaw and lateral motion detection, and Bluetooth for wireless play.

Classic game pad shape. Since PlayStation where launched in 1994 I believe that its controller where the most comfortable made at these time. That’s why Sony decided to use the same design for the Dual Shock controller and Dual Shock 2 on PS2. I guess if the formula worked on the past why not to try once again adding better features?

The Bad

This controller will not have vibration functionality, unlike the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii controllers. Sony claims this has to do with interference of the motion sensing, but I believe this can be fixed in a future having Microsoft and Nintendo offering the same on their console’s game pads.

The Ugly

Is the motion sensor a copy made from Nintendo’ Wii controller?
