at least that is what I have heard ......
edit: And hopefully the ABXY buttons get a little larger and the controller is the size of the type S

Looks as if you can hardly wrap your hands around those massive handles. If this is really close to what it will be then they will undoubtably have the lamest controller of the next gen consoles. I understand I was quite oppinionated here but heck that pic sort of got me worked up so it's not my fault 
Besides, I highly doubt my post is a train wreck would "upgrade" to this controller.

i hope the pic works, it shows the shoulder buttons. i was hoping Nintendo would be the one with the solid white system, damn you MS! I guess Nintendo will have to launch with silver as the neutral color for REV.

It is an upgrade though, IMO. There were too many face buttons on the Xbox controller... 4 triggers seems better to me. And you can't go wrong with wireless.
I wonder if there's rumble?

Does anyone else find it odd that this picture is all fuzzy like he had to take it quickly, yet he had enough time to flip the controller over and take another one? I smell hoax.

Though I'm glad they kept the analog stick in the prime position where it belongs. I had heard they were going to copy Sony and I was worried we would have two backwards designed controllers with d-pads as the main focus. I want d-pads to stay but analog control should be encouraged to be the more common standard.
I don't know why so many of you are complaining that it's boring. Shouldn't a controller be functional? The chainsaw controller certainly isn't boring but it's useless as well. I don't want my controller to be "interesting" at the expense of being useful.

QuoteI have actually seen pictures that are a lot clearer than that one. And I've seen a pic of a psp showing off the xbox 2 controller, I'll try and find it again and post a link.

But it's identical to the Xbox controller, which I despise...

QuoteCheck out the news post over at Games Are Fun. They have several additional pictures, including the two that are shown on the PSP.

I'm surprised this is coming from you Ian, heretofore a staunch advocate of inclusiveness. Why can't it be both? What's wrong with having the option of a nice pad to look at to satisfy the shallow person in all of us? Who says functionality and aesthetics are mutually exclusive?

Well I guess it can be both but it's not like a make or break thing. This isn't exactly like graphics in a game where you're staring at it the whole time. A controller is a tool. If it's well designed you don't even look at the damn thing while you're playing. I guess if it was interesting and functional that would be better but with a controller I think sacrficing appearance for functionality is a worthwhile tradeoff.

So I guess it's that white PC thingy? Looks more like a dev kit. I assume that half steering wheel thingy is a handle though the odd shape makes it look more like a big ugly peice of unwieldy crap. It's like bizarro world design. People complained that the Xbox was unstackable so they make it vertical with a weird handle so that's it's completely unstackable. Well done. The thing looks insanely tall as well though in relation to that guy it's probably smaller overall.

Remember, MS went through many shapes with the XB, wouldn't surprise me if those were real yet we'd see a completely different system on the shelves.

Dammit, I was hoping it was real so I could show all the MS fanboys up...
