actually, ps3 controllers weigh far less then dual shock controllers... and no, the dual shock and sixaxis controller are perfection.... why would you want to reverse them when games hardly really use the d-pad?

and no, the motion sensiing is far from useless... it's much better then basing the entire damn control off of motion sensing... it ENHANCES a game experience...

the d pad went out with nintendo, sega genesis and super nintendo.... analog sticks have pretty much been the norm since... oh... dreamcast/64??

take blazing angels for instance.... you can control the pitch and yaw of the plane with just tilting the controller, while still utilizing every other button on the controller.
