    I remember that crap as well. In fact when the PS3 controller was first shown I knew I had seen it before. I just whish they would have stuck with it. We all could have had the biggest laugh ever then :lol: But, come on, even thinking about releasing that shambles as the official product was bad enough.

    Translation is as follows what sony said about the "new" controller was revolutionary . Is bullshit all the way, and a sorry excuse of not paying the money about the analog, and vibration license to some company long ago. And yes, the Sony controller did look VERY familiar to something I had seen way before the PS3.

    The tilt controller? Isn't that one of the Microsoft controllers? If it's the same one we are both thinking about it had a ball & socket either in the middle or just off to one side. In the sidewinder range I think.

    Just found this image**

    I love on that Alps advert it says something about the design letting you "concentrate on playing the game, not on a throbbing thumb" - well, glad about that then. Never had a throbbing thumb with a PS controller until I used the PS3 with Sega Rally! They really do need to re-design the PS3 controller, there is no feedback and the triggers are far too soft.

    No, this was a Ps1 controller. I'll have to dig up a magazine ad. It was a wierd tilt controller that you actually tilted, kind of like PS3 has.

    Yup, thats the one. I didn't click the youtube link because I was at the college at the time, don't wanna be an ass and wreck the net like the other people do.

    We have a terrible net connection there, and when you have a ton of kids streaming off youtube and myspace every second, it doesn't go too fast.
