Default Can you get a better controller for the PS3?

I absolutely hate the small standard controllers. Anything else available? Something similar to the 360's would be preferable.

I much prefer the 360 controller too, but the dual shock 3 pad makes it a bit nicer to use due to the extra weight.

Must admit I do prefer the Xbox controller as well. Seems to fit my hands better and sticks easier to use. But I like the rest of the PS3

It has been done, but nothing commercial yet (except in Linux).
