One of the biggest reasons I never bought a PS1 or PS2 was their controller. I hate that thing. That’s where I believe Nintendo has excelled in gaming consoles (though some people would disagree when it comes to the N64 controller).
I don’t feel that way anymore, but I did at the time. After many consecutive days of Goldeneye, I couldn’t see how anyone could play a FPS with a mouse/keyboard.
The only weird thing about the N64 controller was that there was always one of the three “wings” left unused (usually the crosspad wing).
I’m not familiar with that particular controller but the picture of the PS3 controller I’ve seen does not look like it will be comfortable.
Yeah, this is the pic I saw, and it looks totally awful to hold. I can only imagine how badly Penny Arcade is going to mock it.
not just you. ;)

I hate the n64 controller… My ranking for “greatest controller evar” is Gamecube Stock with Dual Shock coming in a close second…
