take a look at that controller.
it's a wavebird, but it's in the style of a "normal" controller (it doesn't have the extra length in the middle) and it's got wavebird written on it really big in purple letters at the top.

now, i know this pic is probably just a staff mock-up photo for example purposes, but WHY? I mean, the wavebird has been out for ages now. I'm sure they have a pic by now. And if it was a mock-up photo, why go the extra lengths to make it grey in color?

The Wavebird shown is an older prototype basically showing what the wavebird was going to look like.  The idea was to show that the wavebird wasn't going to be too different from the wired controller in size and shape [just not color (where's my a purple wavebird!)].

As for the pic being old, its just an error.  Give them a break for not putting the most up to date photo on one out of a ten thousand different pages.
