At least with an Xbox 360-styled controller which goes by the name XEOX, a wireless gamepad for your precious PlayStation 3 console.
Don’t take me wrong, i love my DualShock 3 which is the reason why i never tried playing a game with an Xbox 360. So, if there is something similar of what i can enjoy with that Microsoft counterpart, i do want to take my chances. Let’s see what we got here.
What makes this controller so different is that it’s the first pad out there that likens the style of the Xbox 360 controller, although it’s tailored specifically for PS3 enthusiasts. How about the form factor? Well it does look identical to the black wireless Xbox 360 controller that comes bundled with the Xbox 360 Elite, but it has a few, not so major changes.
A turbo button lies just to the right of the d-pad for rapid-firing, while the much familiar PlayStation symbols on each of the buttons differ slightly from Sony’s official pads. Instead of colored symbols, Speedlink has decided to go for a simple black and grey design.
You’ll also notice that the central, circular button, which opens up the XMB, is illuminated in Xbox-green when the controller is turned on and if you look at the control from arms length the ‘XEOX’ branding actually give you an idea of..Xbox.
The XEOX Wireless Gamepad to hit the shelves in October 2011.

Walmart has been selling a PS3 controller with the xbox design for over a year. Power A, I believe it’s the brand.

I hate Xbox controller.
Playstation is so perfect it hasn’t had to change in 3 generations, not even Nintendo can say that, in fact no one else has kept the same controller for more than even 1.
And this is Playstation we are talking about here. Not only have they not had to change in 3 generations but they are the best selling consoles in the world.
PS2 = 150 Million
PS1 = 105 Million
On top of that I’d like to Flame war on Xbox a little real quick.
360 – Only $100 cheaper since launch 6 years ago, RROD, now RDOD, only gaming platform pay to play, no wifi until just 1 year ago (wii and PS3 had since launch), wifi and HDD are proprietary so they are expensive (and limited), overheat, disk scratching, power brick, old cd tray, no internet browser.
You can’t even do anything but play single player games and watch DVD’s on XBox 360 unless you first “Pay” Micro$oft $60/year for the “right” to do so. Can’t even view facebook or youtube, or purchase a sub to netflix or hulu unless you first “Pay” for the “right”. Doesn’t sit well with me.

Oh and Xbox supposed exclusives are on PC. I personally own Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect 1, Left 4 Dead and Battlestations Pacific on PC.
PS3 has true exclusives, the best IMO, blu ray, browser, free online play, best controller, best motion controller, FREE streaming service (crackle) and is $350 cheaper than release.

People can say what they like about your comment, the fact of the matter is everything you’ve stated is fact, you can’t argue with that.

The title of the article is misleading AND I would not be surprised to see a knockoff lawsuit filed by Microsoft against XEOX unless they have licensed the design. If this controller has the durability of the XBOX design, I may have to buy one for my PS3 – because I think the standard and dual-shock PS3 controllers are not as durable.

I’m buying this controller for my PlayStation 3 because my old one got smashed and broke. I can’t wait till this SUPER BADASS controller comes out for the PS3 and then I’ll buy it. I like this SUPER BADASS controller because it’s a total beast. Don’t hesitate.
