In that AVS thread that was linked, there was a link to buy issues from Future directly. Cost me $15 to import the mag for the triggers, and then got them only to find one of the triggers wouldn't snap on. I had to super glue it to the controller.

For those who hate the PS3 triggers, these are great. I can now play Motorstorm w/o my hands getting tired, and use the control scheme for RS:V and CoD4 that has shoot and aim mapped to the triggers. I really found the configuration of Uncharted to be counter-intuitive, and hope that all games going forward give the option of using the triggers for firing.

 

[GuessWho]

As much as i like the ps controller, sony made the ps3 controller the biggest joke of next gen. No rumble and shitty triggers. They fixed one problem, a year later mind you, and now we have to purchase accesories to make the controller acceptable. Sony get real.
End rant.

Unfortunately, it looks like the magazine is sold out. The triggers were in the issue with GTA on the cover.

thanks...but damn.

who would have thought it would have been so difficult to find a piece of plastic. Well, I should have known after that whole SF3A on PSP Dpad thing.

Yeah. I still don't know why Sony didn't just leave the L2/R2 triggers as buttons on the DS3 like the DS1 & 2.

Amazon still lists the triggers for May 16 (with the face armor). I know it won't be there for GTA 4 and the need to press the triggers halfway, but at least it's relatively soon.

I was expecting the triggers to ship on the 11th like the website promised (and still does, they are lazy), but then it was bumped another month.

I really want to get these things to see if they really do make the triggers better so I can decide on which version of GTA4 to get.

 

[Beer Monkey]

My bad, I had forgotten that they were originally coming out in April.

It's just plastic, hopefully we don't end up with another Nyko Perfect Shot scenario.

 

[kozmo7]

I wonder if the metal piece would be annoying when pressing the start or select buttons.

I'll order mine when it gets closer to the due date. I actually don't mind the look of it. I have a pile of PS controllers that generally all look the same and this would make it easy to spot mine.

 

[rollingstart]

So, what is up with this shit now? Amazon has them being out of stock.

Is it so hard to get these? what the hell!

 

[wenis]

who cares about the triggers...that remote is sexy as fuck...anyone know if its worth the money?

ditto, I wanted to check them out but they went outta stock quickly

...some impressions from someone would be nice!

out of stock is also on Messiah Entertainment site , it's funky especially after the last long delay , it look like Messiah Entertainment just can't make tiny pieces of plastic , wait for gioteck triggers or some chinese factory to do it .

 

[Totobeni]

eh..this is not a double post

Messiah's Concave PS3 triggers are available now at amazon.com for 9.99 US dollars

so ..go go go or something else

 

[Scotch]

They won't ship to Europe

 

[rollingstart]

Great, now I wonder if mine were ever shipped or if I should just reorder.

 

[dalin80]

They won't ship to Europe

I know :-(.

Goddamit manufactures of cheap plastic don't make me get my dremel out.

 

[Flunkie]

I saw that these were in stock two days ago and made sure to snag some. I have been checking the Amazon page daily. :lol

Mine shipped yesterday!

 

[Totobeni]

especially if you are a prime member ( you will get it next monday )

I know :-(.

cheap ? that $9.99 for foking plastic lego thingy that isn't any cheap plastic , also the armor thingy is metal not plastic

I saw that these were in stock two days ago and made sure to snag some. I have been checking the Amazon page daily. :lol

Mine shipped yesterday!

share stuff wizz ppl next time n_n

 

[Aginor]

for the europeans you can pre-order them now on play.com £3.49 to ship on the 16/06/08

 

[Integra]

hmmmm. this does look interesting indeed.

 

[Flunkie]

share stuff wizz ppl next time n_n

I shared it with the IGN PS3GB..

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Day 1 on these puppies. Hopefully it's very durable with the metal.

 

[Chaucer]

9.99 give me a break. i don't hate it that much.

 

[Totobeni]

9.99 give me a break. i don't hate it that much.

:lol

yeah it's also funky that in this planet there are only two companies making these , Messiah Entertainment (US) and Giotech (EU) .

i remember seeing tons of PSP replacement D-pads buttons , face buttons and nubs plus also big analogue sticks from many chinese manufacturers for dirt cheap after two months from it's launch , there is also all stuff of Wiimote replacement and PS3 skins and stands so why not cheap Concave triggers from them ?

 

[Beer Monkey]

Day 1 on these puppies. Hopefully it's very durable with the metal.

Wait, you are going to use the face armor? I'm installing the triggers (mine arrive Monday!) and throwing that thing away.

 

[YYZ]

I think that hunk of metal is for justifying the 9.99 price, they could have sold the plastics for $2 or something. The metal plate is ugly and looks useless.

 

[matticus]

Yeah, that "face armor" makes no sense to me ... maybe it was just intended to add weight to the SIXAXIS (non dual-shock) controllers.

 

[Scotch]

for the europeans you can pre-order them now on play.com £3.49 to ship on the 16/06/08

Sweet, thanks. Pre-ordered. And it's without the stupid piece of metal so I won't have to throw that away.

[Totobeni]

it look like that Gioteck Triggers shape/design is different than messiah Triggers , i wonder which one is better ?


messiah Triggers

Gioteck Triggers

i think Messiah Triggers are more Concave-ish and smaller than Gioteck plus based on the official photos look like Messiah Triggers fit more perfectly with DS3 and Sixaxis L/R 2 than Gioteck Triggers .

 

[borsdy]

Will someone shoot me a link where I could order a pair of these to Canada?

 

[rollingstart]

I plan to put it on my old sixaxis to add some weight if a friend uses it...but then again, I have two DS3 controllers. Maybe I should just throw them away.

[Andronicus]

this thread needs a 50 Cent quote right about now "shit is whack son":lol

 

[HUELEN10]

Well, I just ordered the messiah triggers and should get them within a week. Anyone else have these?

It's just the angle. My Gioteck ones look exactly the same as the Messiah's from the side. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that they are exactly the same product from the same mould, just sold by two different companies ala the Nyko Perfect Shot/Datel Gun.

 

[kairu]

Its ridiculous that you cant get just the triggers without some stupid armor for your controller. For all of those people deflecting knives with the center of their DS3s I can understand the need for armor, but for the rest of us... come on.

Well, I won't bash it until i try it! I have always been a sucker for a titanium/black color combo, and this could add some weight to the DS3. I myself like controllers with a little weight to them. But I will agree that it is stupid that the product is bundled.

 

[Scotch]

Play.com ships worldwide I think.

so it's the same thing , good news i guess .

but actually that make sense on why Gioteck not sell them in NA and why Messiah didn't sell them in europe , look like Gioteck got the right ( from the designer / manufacturer ) of selling them in EU markets and Messiah in NA markets , Hilarious and disturbing if true .

 

[Beer Monkey]

Whether it's 10 bucks with face armor that I don't want, or $10 with a magazine that I don't want, either way I'm effectively paying 10 bucks for a pair.

I'd much rather get two pair for $10.

Count me among those that are surprised that Play-Asia wasn't selling these a year ago.

 

[BradVanDam]

nothing wrong with the triggers that come with the controller.

 

[Beer Monkey]

The fact that the product exists and the demand for it proves that this opinion is far from universal. :lol

 

[gbovo]

Don't ever say that in public.

 

[maximumzero]

Messiah makes some neat stuff.

I wish the NES & SNES wireless controllers didn't suck so much though.

 

[disappeared]

So how do these work? Do you have to crack open your controller and hard-install them, or do they just clip on to the existing buttons?

Clip-on, but I'm going to get the hot glue gun out.

 

[Goldrusher]

Ever saw a gun with a convex trigger ?

 

[Beer Monkey]

I got mine tonite, they are AWESOME. Once attached, underneath there is a recess where three sides are the new trigger, and one side is the original trigger. I got out the hot glue gun and put some hot glue in that recess to hold the triggers tight. The end result is semi-permanent (you can remove hot glue from plastic without leaving residue, in my experience, but you also aren't going to knock them off from normal use).

10 bucks is a lot of cash for two chunks of plastic but it's worth it to me.

Oh, the face armor is light as a feather. Don't plan on it adding any noticeable weight to your controller.
