The
other month we let our readers loose on the task of redesigning the Nintendo DS,
resulting in a few entries that could quite possibly inspire Nintendo's rumored official redesign. Based on the
popularity of our previous redesign contest, we've decided to carry out another redesign competition. This time we're
asking you, our readers, to redesign the PlayStation 3's controversial "boomerang" controller. We're also
going to offer a little extra incentive: a copy of X3: The
Reunion for the PC goes to our favorite entry.The web has been buzzing with rumors that the PS3 controller is not the final design, which have been amplified due to the fact that the controller wasn't included in the PS3 display booth at CES '06. Whilst this isn't definite proof that the controller won't be taking its influence from a certain Australian toy, it makes it a perfect candidate for a redesign contest.
To enter:
Send your entry to: joystiq.redesign [at symbol] googlemail.com
With the subject line: PS3 Controller Redesign
By: Sunday 22nd 2:00PM EST
All entries must feature the creator's name somewhere inside the image as proof that the redesign is their own creation. A description of the redesign's influences (or lack thereof) is desired. We'll host and post the winning redesign as well our favorite runners up. Good luck and happy photoshopping! If you're stumped for ideas, check out Nico's spoof PS3 controller after the jump.
[Thanks go to Nico for inspiring this contest]
