Why do all the pics of the sixaxis show that it has a red led on the home button? Its even in the papers that came with the PS3. Was it originally supposed to be there?

I think they decided not to put it in at the last moment, I rmember when the board would flood with these topics. I did hear you can mod your controller and put the LED in it.

There was supposed to be a LED on the gamepad PCB which is noted by the fact there is a LED5 solder point on it. Pretty much if you take your Sixaxis apart you can solder your own LED in and have that light.

Notice the LED5 solder point right in the middle.

The controller in that pic is a magical controller.
If you stare at the PS button you can see the future.

I've never checked. Does it illuminate at night? I don't think so. But just an idea.
