How are people coming to the assumption that it's a controller under that blur? It could be something else...

Have you watched the whole video? If you watch the whole thing it isn't blurred out for a split second at the begining of the sequence and it looks very much like a playstation controller. Also, while he's holding it his hands/thumbs are in the right places for a PS controller. Furthermore, other playstation controllers are blurred out while they are playing in other parts of the video (I assume they are playstation and not 360 elite controllers in the other parts because of hand and thumb position and the people stating the are playing on the PS3).

Looks like he just hit the controller or whatever it is with the arm.

He hits his headphones with his right arm. The suspected PS3 controller is set down and then moves into his left arm. I'm sure all this will be cleared up at E3.

Blinky red lights to feature in new Sixaxis controller - will rumble join it?

Dutch site PS3Focus.nl has a section of a TV report about today's price cut. The interesting thing about this piece of footage is that it includes a couple of seconds close up on someone using a Sixaxis controller. Not particularly exciting normally, but in this instance there's something a bit new. A bit glowy. Check out the image above. We speculated about the glowing red PS button on the 80GB box this morning, but seeing the flashing red button in someone's hands makes us even more ... speculative.

It's clear, then, that another controller is on the cards and will be released before too long (if not for the 80GB launch, then before). The question is, does the upgrade just include a bit of extra illumination, or will we see rumble joining the party? It's probably a fair bet to say yes, but we're not going to say anything definite until confirmation happens at E3. Which it should. Mixed messages? We like to keep you guys on your toes.

The other question is whether that light is going to be blinking on and off constantly during gameplay. If so, that could get quite annoying. What do you think? Check out the video footage and let us know.

Looking at the controller (left arm), it also looks like he hits it with his arm, moving it.

I'm not saying "no rumble" (the light thing makes me think there is), but there would have been speculation or a leak about this before now.

Editor's note: I have posted before that I don't care about rumble, I don't use it when I play PC games with my Logitech pad, but I do hope they include it to shut up the "But your console doesn't even have ruuummbllle" crowd.

It's cute that you think it's OK that Sony said it was IMPOSSIBLE for their controller to have rumble. :p

As for the red light thing, from the post above:

[uPDATE] Patrick Seybold has posted a comment on his post stating that the red light "is not a sign or indication of a new/different controller with the 80GB model." It is a feature of the debug model. This doesn't change the fact that we know that the rumbing Sixaxis is on its way at some point in the future. Just not necessarily bundled with the 80GB PS3.

It could be misinformation again, but who knows.

What did you expect them to say?

"No, we wont be adding any rumble to the PS3 controller because we cant figure how to and because Immersion is ****ed at us"

They have to say that kinda of crap..

They don't have to say exactly that, but they also don't have to straight up lie to their customers. :no:

Phil already answered that question about them sayin that rumble wudnt be possible with the motion aswell!

"As to previous statements that I made, what do you expect me to say? We were in a lawsuit; we were in litigation. Of course I have to defend our view. And you know, actually, I still truly believe having the SIXAXIS controller, the way it is, is the best way to control games. We're looking forward to working with Immersion going forward, and who knows where that will lead us."

I don't see why the heck Sony would re-design the Sixaxis controller and not put in rumble as a feature.

I'm expecting this new controller + rumble to be announced at E3. Priced at the same price as the current Sixaxis, and with a price drop on the Sixaxis. :D Sony does seem to be in the mood of price drops. ;)

A certain other company never justified including a wired controller with the Core system even though they clearly stated that every unit would come with a wireless controller. It's an industry full of lies...get over it.

That was probably because not everybody wants\needs a wireless controller, but the choice was there. The whole point of the Core was that it was a kind of budget model, and it would only bump up the price including a wireless one. That wasn't a good comparison, more likely just trying to get a jab at 360 every chance you can get. Nobody is talking about the 360, why bring it up? People are annoyed because Sony said it would never get a rumble controller, lied about the reason why, and now have completely gone back on what they said.

The industry is full of lies, yes, however I think Sony are more guilty of this than anyone at the moment.

uh...the price difference between the wired and the wireless is $10 (in Canada) so i think they could have absorbed the cost

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Malisk · Posted

      I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
