MY SIXAXIS IS A FREAK.....ITS SEETHROUGH!!! (caps)

well, just like the topic, look at some pics of my sixaxis...had it since november and want to know if its normal on sixaxis controllers since this didnt happened on dualshock 2.....

That my friend is why it's so light. It's semi-hollow.caseystryker

the fact that it is hollow has nothing to do with the fact that its transparent....it makes it lighter but not seethrough...XP

True, but you woudlnt be able to "see through" if it weren't hollow.

ur right...if they completely stuff it with "stuff"...for instance, the dualshock only had to metal stick in it but they werent big enough to avoid light from going thourhg the plastic if the plastic was transparent enough.....XP

AAAHhhhHHHHh!!!why these smart arguments!!! its a sixaxis controller that controls..

anyhow..icant think of anything else smart besides what i just said earlier :D

Too bad it wasn't completely see through, that would've been cool.

But yeah, you must've just got your PS3 eh? =P

The PS2 controllers had that slate gray color that was pretty see through, and the blue ones were like that too

It's the same material as the PS3 too. Seriously, hold your PS3 up to the light.ocelotcougar

ooh ooh do you see little elves working in a sweatshop? because i thought that was what was in my ps3!

Ok i will explain this.

Its simple ergonomics, if something is fully black like a matt black it appears as heavier and bulkier, the PS3 is designed the same way although to look at it you cant see its semi transparent it is and your brain knows it is, this makes your brain think the PS3 is smaller and lighter than it is, as Kaz said about the PS3 he wants it to be used as a focal point in a room so you walk in to that room and you see the PS3 straight away, much in the same way a fire or a television is used as a focal point, for them to accomplish this they had to make the PS3 look light and visually attractive (hence the curves since sharp points make things look less attractive)

For the Sixaxis to look the same as the PS3 and give the same impression that it is lighter it was also made partially see through, although im interested to see how they will maintain the same effect when rumble is added.

the SIXAXIS is lighter because it doesn't have the rumble feature. I've opened my PS2 controller and PS3 and that's the difference. The rumble feature has these kinda metal pieces which the PS3 controller doesn't have. No sure how it works but that's the difference and not the plastic that the controller is made off.

Correct me if im wrong im not an expert on these kind of things but so far it seems right.
