PlayStation 3 Hands-on @ IGN

I need to see one to believe, not impressed with the sales pitch Sony has put out unlike the 360 sales pitch, too many "yeah but its got this" and wjhy would ou want to play your PS3 from 40 feet from the TV, my 360 pad cuts out after I leave the room with the headset on to get a beer etc. and cuts back in when I enter the room, thus saving battery power.
Maybe they've seen the negative press in the UK and thought "We'd best promote it positively", then gave one to IGN only for them to say the best part was a CD loading drive and leave it at that.
Anyone see an alarming amount of dust gathering around the CD drive after a few months? Get the cotton-buds out!

I always hated the PS1 & PS2 controllers anyway. When my best mate first got an orgional playstation i remember going round and saying; wow my microsoft sidewinder pad on my PC is a lot better than this.
Then the same comparing a PS2 pad to either of the origional xbox pads (with the exception of hitting the black and white buttons on the large pad).
Now my 360 pad is as comfy as my 7 year old leather that has my ass print worn into it and it looks like sony have missed the ergonomics 101 class yet again which is a shame.

The difference is, Sony's pads are made for people with little hands and Microsoft caters for the average American/European hands.
Thats why people with good hand sizes like me feel more comfortable using the 'natural' layout of the Xbox360 pad and struggle when bending the left thumb further to the right to reach the left analogue stick. Whilst not being difficult to do, my thumb does tire a lot quicker.

The Sony pads are indeed smaller, but..... it isn't just that that makes them not as good. Even if they were Xbox pad sized, they'd still be poo. I wonder if they have improved the analogue stick over the PS2 pad, to make it usable for driving games.
When I've played GT3 and 4 on the PS2, I've had to use the d-pad for steering because the stick was useless. The d-pad worked well and seems to be pressure sensitive, but it isn't a patch on the Xbox controller for driving games. Playing Enthusia, a driving game which makes you use the analogue stick only, was an exercise in frustration and annoyance.
Oh well I sold my PS2 anyway so it's someone else's problem now
