That controller still throws me off. I still can't believe that's the controller. If anyone had shown me that picture last week I would have bet a million dollars that it was fake, simply based on the controller design.

[Teuthida]

Well does say design is subject to change without notice.

[DarrenMcLeod]

Yeah, I'm hoping that they shorten the prongs down. I also wonder how the shoulder buttons work, as they look awkward.

Finally, I'm hoping they put the analog pad in a better spot. Nintendo and Microsoft have it right... Analog in the prime position, not D-pad.

I notice that there is no memory card slots in the system, or at least none I can see. How is it supposed to be backwards compatible then?
Other then that I'm getting so excited.

[Teuthida]

Ooh. Getting fancy now with the angles.



How exactly does that lay flat when horizontal?

It has the bottom flat section like PS2.

Memory cards are wireless via Bluetooth.

have to beg to differ with you on that part, sony has been the one to have it in a perfect spot. i hope thats the one thing that certainly does NOT change.

[Joeiss]

Looking awesome.

I can't wait to try out that controller.. I wonder how it will feel...

[Null]

hrmmm.

[Bond]

I'm not a big fan of having the on/off button on the back, but everything else looks nice.

[Null]

thats just the main power, same as PS2. you turn it on and off from the front, but you can cut entire power, encluding the front switch off with the back switch.
