It looks exactly the same as a ps2 controller, but with more features.

Again, its for connectivity with the PSP, also, that thing doesnt even have the dual shock anymore. Wii rules!!!

vibration has been removed to increase accuracy and make gameplay better. You think a huge corporation with unlimited resources and crazy amounts of experience in gaming harware/eperience wouldn know better? They did that for a reason and ima gonna reserve my judgement on that till i experience it myself...

Well, the facts are right there. I mean the PS one had the freaking dual shock, the PS2 had the freaking dual shock, and now sony leaves it out now, heh, I dont know if thats a good thing regardless of accuracy of gameplay, heck that just shows that they cant get everything right, like the Nintendo Wii.

nope, look at the port on the controller and then look at the one on the psp, there the same, i'm guessing that that is either for connectiong to the ps3 or that is ur new memory card! lol good idea $ony!

Which makes me even more right. Sony only wants your money.

no that means your saving money by buying the memory card and the controller at the same time...
