I got this news from computer and videogames megazine website.

World Exclusive: PS3 Dual Shock 3 Details Emerge!

Wireless gameplay confirmed, plus major addition of trigger for next generation of PlayStation control pad

The next iteration of Sony's Dual Shock joypad for PlayStation 3 will be wireless and come complete with a single trigger under the right hand side of the control pad, we can exclusively reveal.
A highly placed SCEE insider, operating under strict conditions of anonymity, who has been privy to early details of the PS3 controller, told us: "Dual Shock 3 will definitely be wireless and we'll also be including a trigger button, probably under the right hand side of the controller. Other than that we've no plans to change the basic formula, which has proved so successful."

This makes perfect sense, since the basic Dual Shock layout - ultimately inspired by Nintendo's SNES pad - is the perfect, neutral joypad for developers to work with. Compare this with the GameCube pad, for instance, which has clearly been designed with first party games in mind.

Wireless gameplay will not be a cheap addition for Sony, but an important one which will doubtless be welcomed by gamers with open arms. The addition of the trigger is the obvious choice in offering broader scope for developers without tampering with the existing formula.

A Sony spokesperson was unavailable for comment at the time of writing. We'll keep you posted; remember where you heard this first.
 
hhhhmmmm

I dont quite see the need for the trigger. L2 & L1 served me well in TS2, i see no need for a designated trigger.
I hope the wireless doesn't add any weight to the controler, this is something i found on many of the wireless pads I have tried.
Also I hope the price for the controler doesn't rise with all this new technology.
 
hmm...trigger...if it's pressure sensitive, maybe we'll get that clutch we've all been dreaming about for Gran Turismo.
 
it's a Real Racing Simulator, clutch is a must IMO - even though I never learned to drive a standard in real life, it would make for a very interesting experience I think.

but other than a clutch, I can't think of any other use for a trigger button on a ps2 controller.
 
What finger would you use on the 'trigger'? I don't know what grip you guys use, but i normally have my middle finger and index on the shoudler buttons, with thumbs working d-pad, sticks and X, O etc.
ring and little finger support the controler

What fingers would you have left for a trigger!!!

I think a trigger would be better for the gas if it is prssure sensative. throttle control would be great

I suppose the middle finger. The 'correct' way to hold the DS2 is with your index finger on the shoulder buttons with your middle, ring, and pinky curled just below the sticks
 
yeah, the wireless lets you wreck the controller or the TV. instead of getting really close to the window only to be snagged down by the ps2. And maybe they should make it 50 pounds like the xbox so incase we get into a war we can put one on our chest so we won't get shot.
