Did I already said that I like it? The more I look at it the more I wish the DS3 was like this all along.
Vita D-pad is amazing. I am so glad they brought that into this.
Ususally I hear people praising the Dpad on playstation controllers. I have honestly preferred analog nubs/control sticks for so long and always detested the Dpad on Nintendo consoles and sony consoles/handhelds.
The vita dpad just felt differently. How it clicks in and I feel that response is guaranteed that its my fault, not my assumption that I clicked it in. It felt more or less to R2 and L2 to me, which I despise.
Anyways it looks like the vita dpad so I'm happy.

I'm hoping that speaker isn't used in any way similar to Mario Galaxy. God how juvenile and annoying...
Most likely.
Looks like some bizarre fusion of concave and convex to me actually. Like Convex with a rim. I don't know if that actually helps or not, b ut I never cared as much as some people did anyway, rubber topping mattered more.

It begins! Prototype for sure, a bit sleeker and I'm sold.
Probably.

Looks kind of cool. The thing I always have disliked about PS controllers is how flimsy and light weight they are. So making it a little heftier wouldn't be a bad thing IMO.

So guys, looks like the PS3 will have USB 3.0 ports, looking at the Devkit.
Awesome.
Awesome.

I really like the look of it. I particularly like how they increased the size!
I like the the mic in the controller. Also, the D-Pad looks good.
The controller is too big, and the sticks looks weird, but it's obviously not the final design/product.
I don't think I like the touch screen/pad tho. It probably has some practical uses like menus, but I just don't like it.

You're probably right, I didn't see the one on the right.

Headphone jack of some sort?
I was just going to point that out. God, I hope it's a headphone jack!

Wait till enough people bitch and the redesign it? I have no clue.
I can't be the only one who thinks that looks uncomfortable as hell.

Not bad. I imagine it will be fine tuned before release. Kinda dissapointed about that stick placement thought.

Yes, your right. Everything just looks so strange and foreign.

Do USB 3.0 ports look different from 2.0?

Is that black box above it a Gamecube Dev Kit? 4 circular ports...?
No, it's a drainage system for your drool.
im guessing the share button was BS
Do you know/can you say if that is a PS4 dev kit? No probs if you can't answer
I haven't seen the dev kits.
I agree. Don't understand the people who think it's too big? I bet it will be really comfortable.

What am I looking at here? The new Sony clock radio?
I think there's a button to the right of the D-pad as well though.
Generally like what I'm seeing in terms of expanded functionality. Happy to see the Move LED implemented on the base controller so that taking advantage of that capability (if you want) won't necessarily require buying a separate controller anymore. Like the idea proposed by Swift that the touchpad is clickable on the left and right side for Select and Start (which would actually be an improvement in their accessibility). I really wish that speaker grid was for a microphone instead, because I can't really think of what I need a speaker on the controller itself for. But prototype of course, so who knows.

you can't put a price on sparks
im guessing the PS button will have dual functionality.
hold it for menu stuff
tap it for share stuff.
if the share thing is real.

The... thing ... in the middle reminds me of an 80s IR tv remote top.
Someone had to have taken this picture, why didn't they provide any details on what is what?
I hope they don't bother with some shitty little screen in the middle, it's pointless.

This actually looks like I was hoping the controller would end up like. I'll be happy if the final product looks similar to this.
