Yo that controller is WACK. But they plenty of time to change it.
First thing came to mind. "How the hell Im going to play Tekken 6 with that thing"
All i'm seeing is a box with a red x in it.

Try refreshing your browser a few times, IGNs site is being overloaded right now due to E3.

That's odd, I can see the pic using Firefox but not with IE.
Oh well, just one more reason to use Firefox. (http://www.mozilla.org)

hooray.
anyways that controller is just... yuck. if that is the real thing then i hope to god that you will be able to plug in an old dualshock. i think sony (well, all the companies) are trying waay to hard to make their consoles look 'modern' and 'high-tech'. i mean, sleek consoles look good, but c'mon, the controller does'nt have to be a freakin' blade to look good.

Word Skippy. translation = I concur

PC gamepad makers have been ripping off Sony for years. I guess they're returning the favor.

Remeber the old fad were some Texans in cads would put steer horns on the front of there car.

The Jaguar controller does not suck unless you are a person who misses the original NES controllers. It is nearly the same size and layout as a Saturn controller or Dreamcast controllers, just with the numerical keypad, which actually works well for a small number of games.
This controller though looks as if it is a mistake the size of an original Xbox controller.

That thing looks ridiculous. I dont see how it is functually different than the current controller, but they will probably make some insignificant addition that will require the purchase of new controllers. What Id really like to see is a playstation with 4 controller slots, if in fact if even uses slots.

The PS3 doesn't need controller slots, it has wireless controllers out of the box and can have up to seven at one time, it can also have wired keyboards mice and 3rd party controllers via one of its 5 USB 2.0 slots. Unfortunately you can't as of yet use your PS1 or PS2 Dual-Shock controllers with the system and even worse there dosen't appear to be any PS1 or PS2 memory card slots which makes me wonder how using old saves or making new saves with those old games is going to work.

They just need to chop off the handles. I like the overall look and the slightly curved design. Just get rid of that wasted space in the handles after the buttons and pad.

When you guys see posts like this, that's your cue to stop talking here and start talking there.
