You like it when your thumbs smash together when pressing both analog sticks inwards, eh?

I sweat like a fat man chasing a runaway Smarties candy uphill through the streets of Baghdad!! One of these might be handy.
reminds me of the logitech chillstream only this looks like a worse controller. the logitech chillstream can while it is an pc controller also be used on the ps3 like most of them.
You could have had a heat stroke doing what you did, Dale. You risked your life for Destructoid. Dale North is the man, ladies and gentlemen =P

Some people, myself included, play with the tips of their thumbs instead of the middle.

Might have to grab one so I can play shooters correctly on the PS3.
Or, you know, play anything on PS3 without getting carpal tunnel. The only game I've played on the Dualshock that actually felt natural was Katamari. The triggers still cause me grief too when trying to simultaneously hold the stick in that odd position.
How anyone can deal with that is beyond me.

I don't get how people complain that their thumbs touch together while using a dualshock. It just never happens, unless you're Shaquille O'Neal, I'm just going to assume your using the controller completely wrong.
I would get these because they're bigger than the DS3 and that those thumbstick locations are great for shooters.
Since they're wired, could you do some PC testing to see if they register as regular MS 360 controllers in games?
PS3 - They moved the Analog and D-pad?
.....WTF.

If there was a .gif for that you would have posted it by now and I would be ROFLMFAOing something fierce. I have no issues and love the PS3 design, tis my favorite controller.

That always puzzled me, as well. All I can figure is that some people who are used to indented-top sticks get in the habit of playing with the middle part of their thumb on the top. Personally, I just feel like I have more control when I play with the tips of my thumbs. I actually have indented-top FPS Freek extenders on my PS3 controllers, but I still play with the tips of my thumbs resting on the edge.
Different people play different ways, I guess. The thing that annoys me are the dumb, "i can't play like that so i can't understand how anyone else can" comments. The only real complaint I have about the PS3 controller is the triggers, and that's easily and cheaply fixed with extenders.

PS3 version $33 on Amazon. I don't have any major objection to the Dual Shock and part of the reason I got the PS3 was that I liked the controller better, but sometimes I do wish they had the thumb stick in the other position.

I have been play with a dualshock since the ps1 days and I have never ever have my thumbs touch while
playing. Most of the time I forget it's there after 5 minutes.

Why are the left analog and d-pad swapped in the PS3 version? It's basically just an Xbox 360 controller with PS3 face buttons.
@heyricochet
yes it will work on a pc ( although its not officially supported) i tried it with steam all you need to do is assign the buttons to a command.
