PS3 Gets A New Controller
Published by Robert Staehlin October 9th, 2006 in Gaming, Sony, PlayStation 3.No, PS3 still doesn’t have rumble
PS3 will be getting a brand new controller — but before you get your hopes up, there’s still no rumble in the immediate future. This Sixaxis substitute, known as ChillStream, comes by way of Logitech.
So why would anybody go out and purchase Chillstream, you wonder? The perk of this one is that it keeps a gamers’ hands dry ‘n’ cool instead of hot and clammy. A brief description from the Big L:
Logitechs patented ChillStream technology includes a built-in 40 mm fan that circulates up to 3.41 cubic feet of air every minute, while generating very little noise. Three narrow vents on each side of the controller push air directly onto the four fingers, the base of the thumb and the palm of the hand. The air stream can be used in one of three settings high, low, or off.
The PLAYSTATION 3 is sure to be a powerful gaming platform and we are pleased to offer a range of peripherals available at launch, said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitechs director of product marketing for gaming. And by extending our ChillStream technology to a controller designed for PLAYSTATION 3, we are able ensure that gamers will have the best experience and play with one of the most advanced technologies on the market.
Sounds like a wonderful technology if it works correctly, but will it be worth the extra $40 to find out?

oh yeah because it looks identical to the xbox 360 controller lol man sony cant just quit getting stuff that looks and works just like there competitors hardware
y’know, Sony had nothing to do with the development of this controller so if I were you I’d just take the mickey out of actual SONY faults. They’re not hard to find, for example the price is to high.
You can look up that subject on some internet dictionarys or encyclopedia actually, it’s the topic next to, pain-in-the-ass fanboys which, oddly enough, has a picture of you in.
Besides, I’m not even sure they have the right picture in that article
^^^Moron above me…
The pic is a 360 controller you moron, they are just posting it for an examble of a controller with a fans made by Logitech.
Ooh yeah one more thing, the controllers are being made by Logitech and not by Sony YOU MORON.
