Tue May 9, 2006 10:40 PM EDT
Late last night Sony revealed their "new" PS3 controller. We all knew they needed a better controller than the boomerang, so this new controller came as no surprise. However, I couldn't help but notice that it was a complete rip of both Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360.
