I just noticed this like 50 seconds ago.

I was just finishing a fight in Valkyrie Profile 2 on my brother's PS3 and the controller felt greasy, so I thought i would wipe it with my shirt.

I looked at the back of the controller and I noticed something that looked like writting, so I looked closer and to my surprise I could see the insides of the controller!

I was like "WHOA. I didn'tsee this before or know about it. This is a good chance to post it on GS and see if anyone else noticed. ( )"

Then i looked on other spots of the controller and its everywhere on it and I see there plenty of room in there for rumble (But i don't care about rumble anyway, so i guess this is something for those of you vibration addicts).

Anyway. Has anyone else noticed this? If you haven't put your SIXAXIS up to a light source and you will see. Pretty cool, but too bad the controller is so dark.

guys!! fanboy, unintellagent post, or just a plain bad post. anyway the only bad thing about this feature is that it feels like the edge is about 1/8th of an inch of and its annoying. it probably wouldnt be off if it had something filling it.

Are you sure about that because there are some plastic/fiberglass uses that are almost as strong as steel. Think about this, there are some semi trailers that the main weight supporting part ot the trailer is made of this type of material. There is a lot of products made better and stronger using plastic composites.

Wel, I'll admit that I never noticed it before. I'm usually never looking at the controller that much for me to notice.
