Recently the Pro Elite Wireless Controller for PS3
was released. While new controllers by third party vendors are typically not newsworthy items, this particular item solves a vexxing problem for multi-console gamers. Switching consoles has always been difficult primarily due to the unique controller configuration and the time that it takes to adjust from one to the other...
With that, those gamers that prefer the Xbox 360's controller config (outside of the current d-pad issues) should seriously consider the Pro Elite Wireless Controller for PS3.
From the manufacturer:
In designing the Pro Elite Wireless Controller, POWER A has taken what's best about other controllers--like the Xbox 360 controller (hint hint)--and recombined these features to give a competitive edge to PS3 users. The Pro Elite Wireless positions its analog sticks asymmetrically, with left analog stick up and the right analog stick down. This design helps prevent cramping during extended gaming sessions and is especially ideal for first-person shooters. The R2 buttons have also been repositioned for greater accessibility while gaming. Additionally, all of the buttons are backlit, so you'll still be able to game in the dark.
Anyway, the Pro Elite Wireless Controller for PS3 is available for $34.99 (reg. $49.99) over at Amazon...
