PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller Order Now

Although the PS2 controller won high praise for its design, the PS3 controller seems inadequate for a next generation game console. The lack of a rumble feature hasn't been seen since the days of the N64, and whatever reasons Sony might have for excluding it are unacceptable. Force feedback has become an integral part of many games and adds to the immersiveness of a quality game. Also, the wireless connection seems to get dropped periodically while playing. I don't know if this is a console issue or if it's specific to my controllers, but both of my PS3 controllers have been know to periodically stop responding for a few seconds. That may not sound like a big deal, but when that perfect pitch is on its way and you're trying to knock it out of the park, there's nothing worse than a controller that doesn't respond when you try to swing the bat. And the battery design is absurd, requiring the controllers to be charged with the system (which is even more ridiculous when you consider that the USB cable that Sony provides is only about 3 feet long, and you don't get an extra cable when you buy an extra controller) and prohibiting the use of alkaline batteries as a substitute. Finally, the overall design is too flimsy. Although controllers aren't meant to be abused I expect them to survive the occasional anger-induced drop to the floor. I've lost 2 PS3 controllers to damage, but no Xbox 360 controllers.
