I just noticed this like 50 seconds ago.

I was just finishing a fight in Valkyrie Profile 2 on my brother's PS3and 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. ( :P )"

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.

No that would indicate that light cannot be seen through it in anyway. IT IS TRANSLUCENT.

This brings up the question:

How much weight will rumble add to the SIXAXIS?

Even though the game lineup is complete crap, exclusive wise, I do wanna check out that controller, looks pretty cool. Even if it's design is pretty much over 10 years old. I'll admit the console itself looks good, including the controller. It's a shame the quality was not transfered over to the game selection, or I may have bought one already.

I thought the whole plan to shove Blu-Ray down everyones throat by wrapping it around the third best next-gen game console was what was translucent.

Tis awesome, cus when i play in the dark i can see all the tech n stuff in my SIXAXIS because of the red light at the top :D

About rumble adding weight, i weighed it yesterday in my hands, the Dualshock 2 and SIXAXIS dont really have much difference, SIXAXIS is slightly lighter, so probably the same weight as the Dualshock2 :|

Hopefully it will be heavy enough so that it doest feel like I'm holding a feather in my hand anymore, seriously that thing is freakishly light and feels cheap, the dualshock2 felt way better in my big hands.
