This, along with general lack of games, poor design, high cost and constant BS’ing by sony is the reason I don’t yet own one.

Maybe at some point in the future.

Or that they lied about rumble over and over. Or that they refuse to give us a new controller design rather than the same fucking design for 3 generations in a row.

Unfortunately, the bumpers pressure sensitive buttons are the same and are concave which causes MAJOR slipping when you have to hold the button down. If you don't think there's an issue, play Burnout Paradise for about 30 minutes straight and what what happens. Also, notice that Motostorm doesn't make use of the bumpers for it's acceleration. There's a reason, they felt it would detract from the game because testers complained of slipping. That's a fact you don't hear much anymore. All Sony had to do was to alter it just a little. So I'm still waiting for a 3rd party controller that doesn't use a dongle and has power on features for the PS3. Sony just had to much pride to change a large and obvious design flaw.
