PSi: Pro Elite Wireless Controller PS3 Review

PSi writes: " Human hands come in all sizes. Controllers, on the other hand, don't come in a very wide range of sizes. If your hands are larger-than-average, you usually have to deal with controllers that feel small in your hands. Or, perhaps you merely want a controller that's easily identifiable as yours, instead of another OEM controller that your brother might "accidentally" use, thinking it was his. Maybe you like PS3 games, but prefer the analog stick layout found on Xbox 360 controllers. If you're looking for a replacement PS3 controller or another for your collection, you might be looking for a Pro Elite Wireless Controller."

Good review....I'm in that camp of people who wants a ps3 controller that is laid out like the 360s is. I think I'm going to wait for the new Nyko Raven with the 360 layout to come out though, it seems like it will be of a higher quality than this one.......

mastiffchild5723d ago

Any news of a left handed version? I'd love to try a lefty orientated 360 pad too-as it goes- as I think that's what I don't like about it. It feels like the stick placings need reversing to me.

FACTUAL evidence5723d ago

Ew it's like a 360 controller. I don't want to play shooters all damn day anyway...that's why I'm on my ps3 more.

NegativeCreepWA5723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

Waiting to see how the Raven turns out, I would use it for shooting and racing games.

I'd buy it just for the control stick arrangement. I love the way the 360 controller is set up. IMO, it's just provides a better feel for FPS. I hate it when the control sticks are right by eachother.

NegativeCreepWA5723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

Agreed, I have too big of hands to play shooters with DS comfortably.

outrageous5723d ago

My biggest complaint about the PS3 is the controller...this layout would be a great help to me. I know some people like the PS3 controller BUT I can't stand the thing. It's like some bizarre yoga ritual for your fingers.

poopsack5723d ago

I have it, its great, yet not many games are maped out to work with the back triggers primarily, so the point of the controller is kinda lost. Still great.

Silentmerc3nary5723d ago

I like the position of the Analog Sticks.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle23d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde30d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy31d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12530d ago (Edited 30d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga32d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199231d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga31d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman31d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger31d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box32d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion31d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7232d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7531d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit31d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14932d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7732d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
