    PS3 third party controller?

    So, i'm after a controller to go with my new PS3. I've found this called a shadow 6 but it's only available in the states (Ebay from US costs £50 [ish])




    Quite simple, better shape on the triggers and much nicer position on the analogue stick. So is there something available in the UK cheaper that's similar?

    Doesn't even need to be wireless really, but all ideas welcome.

    360 controller doesn't work incidently without a box costing a fortune so that's out aswell (unless you can find cheaper way?)

    Forget it, there arn't any that i can see so i've taken the plunge and got one on Ebay for £40. Supposedly wireless and rumble so can't be all that bad............

    Costs as much as the controller from what i can see, so thought i'd get the controller so as to have a second one.
    The shadow 6 is the same layout so shouldn't be much different from the 360 pad anyway.
