"SPOnG is reporting some interesting information this morning about Sony's plans for their PlayStation 3 controller dubbed the "DualShock 3. The following is a list of features that the DualShock 3 will have according to SPOnG's insider sources:

Will be Wireless.

Either 1 or 2 "triggers" in place of the standard shoulder buttons. If single trigger it will be on the right-hand side of the controller.

Digital Pad and Action buttons will be pressure sensitive.

So there you have it -- once again Nintendo is having their ideas copied by Sony, which is completely expected due to the amazing success and functionality of the Wavebird controller."

From nintendojo.com

Can't they think of anything themselves?
No?
Thought not.

How do you get pressure sensitive digital pads too?

Pressure sensitive = analogue.

I dunno, theres some stiff competition from the SEGA Mastersystem's swish controllers! Those rectangles were soooo user friendly!....

Yes Sony will steal anything.

They tried to claim that they owned the rights to the Bond franchise for christ sake!

The GB camera was going to let you put pictures into Perfect Dark etc.

I believe the negative publicity of people shooting Bill Clinton + other 'respected' figures made Nintendo change their mind.

Also at the end of the day it's a crap gimmic.

Now nobody mention Donkey Kong conga. ;)
