Hmmmm... looks sleek, but not exactly the greatest layout I've ever seen. The D-pad seems worryingly shallow, and it's doesn't look particularly well shaped for comfort (ergonomics akin to the NES controller anyone?). Then again, as they say, very early, things may change, yak yak yak.
Just nice to get some more info out of Sony on this!
I cant wait to E3 next year!!!!

Yeah bit it's wider than widescreen. Like the wrong proportions.
A bit.

I just tried that and nothing came up :(

Or display them in widescreen...
Not too bad though - a proper analogue stuick would have been nice. Even if the games themselves have digital controls, it's still nice - for the diagonals and stuff.

I think those pics were mock-up's by OPSM and not produced by Sony. On that basis I'd imagine that the final product is likely to be close to this one, although they will probably make a few changes such as button placement (Reset button) and the curves edges making using the D-pad appear very difficult.
More than likely the end product will be larger with the buttons further away from the edge.
I love it though - it's already on next years Christmas list!
Still going to be a definite purchase though.
Just hope it doesn't turn out all N-Gage style...
