Default PS3 controller revealed - come on DUALSHOCK

Today at Sony's Press Conference in LA, Sony showed off the newest design of the PS3 controller. Bye, Bye boomerang, hello Dual Shock!

The PS3 controller Is set to include Bluetooth technology for wireless play with the addition of USB cables to wire the controller for recharging.



The most interesting announcement came regarding the inclusion of a ‘six-axis sensing system’ and the removal of the vibrating core. The press release stated that, "Pursuant to the introduction of this new six-axis sensing system, the vibration feature that is currently available on DUALSHOCK and DUALSHOCK 2 controllers for PlayStation and PlayStation 2, will be removed from the new PS3 controller as vibration itself interferes with information detected by the sensor."

Sounds exciting and hopefully the sensors will add a whole other dimension to the PS3 gameplay. This feature could possibly work well in an FPS game were the camera reacts to the movements of the controller.
