PS3 Getting Third Party Xbox 360 Style Controller This October

We’re very happy with our DualShock 3 controller for PlayStation 3, but it seems that others maybe aren’t so keen. Talking with Speedlink at GamesCom 2011, we discovered that the peripheral manufacturer is on the verge of releasing a curious new product, the XEOX Wireless gamepad for PS3.

What makes this controller so unique is that it’s the first pad that mimics the style of the Xbox 360 controller, but it's designed specifically for PS3 gamers. In terms of form factor, it does feel identical to the black wireless Xbox 360 controller that comes bundled with the Xbox 360 Elite, but it has a few minor changes.

A turbo button sits just to the right of the d-pad for rapid-firing, while the traditional PlayStation symbols on each of the buttons differ slightly from Sony's official pads. Instead of coloured symbols, Speedlink has opted for a simple black and grey design.You’ll also notice that the central, circular button, which opens up the XMB, is illuminated in Xbox-green when the controller is turned on and if you look at the control from arms length the 'XEOX' branding actually looks like it says Xbox. Having had our hands on the XEOX prototype at GamesCom, it does feel a little weird handling a controller that is so similar to Microsoft’s official pad, yet using it to play games on the PS3. But, Speedlink really does believe there's a market out there for this kind of product.

 

 

The XEOX Wireless Gamepad goes on general sale in October 2011. :bigyellowgrin:

Pathetic. Keep that asymmetrical controller to xbox. We dont need such crap.

Did anybody threatens u to purchase it??

U say "we" as u represent the whole ps3 community..

U seem so desperate to bash xbox 360. Take it easy bro.. Ur opinions (if i can call them such) won't make microsoft stop the production of the console. And guess wut... people will still buy it :tongue:

Ps3 controller is just perfect the way it is

suits for all kinds of games

 

 

It was a pain playing bayoneta & Ninja Gaiden on xbox

Its not going to get replaced.People who prefer XBOX 360 Controller could use it for their PS3 while those who prefer DS3 can use that.

Troll attempt 2 success. Troll mode off.

 

Honestly, I am thinking about that Batman AC controller that is coming for PS3. Its button positions are same as Xbox and looks way cooler than this one posted here. People say FPS games are much better with xbox controller, I want to check it out.

lol no but for me Tapping R1 is alot faster than RT maybe i have short hand or fingers anyways

 

I am sure you would've had more than one reason in spending 15k

 

And No, Now i don't see there is no possible reason to buy Xbox except Gears as my old X360 died. And after using PS3 Xbox felt backwards(for me) No offense just saying.
