Here’s a first look at Power A’s Batarang controllers in the flesh. They’re more mediocre “Xbox peripheral” than deadly weapon, but if you like lights, they’ve got those!
Could also be considered a clever move, since a lot of PS3 gamers like 360 controllers. I’m considering getting one for that reason (and it appears people below are too).
Indeed. I own all 3 main consoles, and I have to say as much as I love the ps3, Im hating its controller. If this controllers nice, I may pick up 2 or 3 of them for the ps3 just for its layout alone.
Yea i have been using the ps3 controller all my life and i was actually considering buying one of these controllers until i saw that the layout is set up like an xbox 360 controller. they just dont feel right to me.
Quite a smart move. I hardly play my PS3 for the pure fact of its controller layout. Provided it works exactly like a normal PS3 controller, I’m going to buy one that way I can enjoy playing for PS3 games!
For me personally, its going to make playing online much easier.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 10:43 AMYeah i agree, i hate the 360 controller… they should have kept it the same. If people wanna use a 360 controller, they’ll buy a 360.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 9:17 AMBecause ergonomics is key. The PS controller layout may be a signature feature for the consoles but ergonomically they’re rubbish.

Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 4:16 PMDoes anyone know why they never make these (360) controllers wireless? It just seems crazy not to, so I assume they must have a reason
