The PSP thing is a little weird, like why would you want to plug it into the PS3, sounds a little stupid if you ask me lol  
You got me on that one. I think it's kinda weird as well.
Not sure if you know or not (since like I said before) I havn't read enough info on XBox 360, but will the controller be a six-axis (the ability to move the object on the screen be it hero, plane, boat, etc.) without the use of the joysticks as kind of in a freaky way pictured here?
Also, if you enjoy being freaked out and haven't seen it already, watch the PS3 make a baby cry here.

I know, and I am the same, I havent read much information regarding the Playstation3 as of yet.
I do not think that the sixaxis or whatever it is called would be on the Xbox360, I cannot watch the video thing because my internet is extremely slow right now, so I shall watch it when it is up to normal, broadband speed

^great way to kill off a good conversation just kidding lol
The video didnt work for me, well it did but it takes way to long to load cos my internet is very slow at the current moment.
Could you care to provide some more information, and is this avaliable for xbox360 or whatever?

Info found on the web:
The PS3 SIXAXIS is a controller that is nearly identical to that of the predecessor's DualShock. The SIXAXIS features finer analogue sensitivity, more trigger-like R2 and L2 buttons, a PS button, and a USB mini-B port for charging the internal battery and use for wired play. There are four numbered LED indicators as well, to identify and distinguish multiple wireless controllers. The PlayStation 3 supports up to 7 simultaneous controllers over Bluetooth.
The SIXAXIS is named for its ability to detect motion in the full six degrees. However, unlike the previous DualShock, the new controller has no vibration feature (I personally think this sucks); Sony says this would interfere with the motion sensor. It is suspected that this is in part due to Sony losing a patent infringement case to Immersion with regards to the rumble technology; Immersion has since offered Sony a solution that did not interfere with motion sensing.
The controller will retail for US$50.

Well this controller sounds much better than the PS2's contoller that is for sure.
USB mini-B port sounds pretty nice

Multiple wireless controllers also sounds pretty nice, better than the PS2 that is for sure.
7 Simultaneous is way better than the crap PS2, this PS3 sounds much more improved than that crap piuece of hardware that it was before that is for sure.

Rumble Technology in controllers rules, without it, this controller may be quite poor in my opinion.
Rumble in the controllers makes it seem like you are in the game kinda, and it adds more fun and stuff, like when an explosion occurs the rumble will go off and it will seem as if a real explosion actually did occur!!

Thats alright price, do not know what it would be with Australian Dollars, but it is definately more than that.
Seems like a nice controller, atleast it beats the PS2 one.
So it looks like that it is not out for Xbox360,mwhich is a shame.
But I bet Microsoft can come up with something better than it anyday.
We shall just have to wait and see I guess

Just showing you what one sidedness looks like.
My statement is obviously false. Although XBOX is made by Microsoft it is no where near as messed up as Windows but I made that based off the joke that went around a few years back saying Microsoft was making a new keyboard with just those keys to go along with their new release of Windows XP.
Now you know the expression my face made when I saw your statements of the PS2 controller.
I must ask you William, do you really get into games that much that your controllers are in danger of meeting their doom with your bedroom wall? If so, please seek help.
I've found myself using some profanity when faced with a chalenging game and even getting to the point of just shutting it off with or without a saved game but I can't recall ever slaming my controller down in a fit of anger. Do gamers really do this that often these days?

The Xbox does freeze. I was playing DOA at my friend's house and the game froze twice in an hour.
And old Xbox controllers.

I dislike the big controllers only because they are too big for my small hands 
The S controllers fit in my hands perfectly, and they are quite easy to use for me, instead of those damn Duke Controllers (the big ones).
TA, you could probably try and look on ebay if you like them so much
