It's ugly, but I like the general idea. I'm also excited as a pig in mud for the touchscreen and it's not because of the touch ability. You can clearly see the touchscreen requires the controller to be a tad bit bigger, which is a huge plus for me.
EDIT: Didn't see the bottom and 360 like triggers! BOOM!
I just noticed a tiny speaker on the controller.

Nope, it is the DLC indicator. It will be bright enough to light a 500 sq ft room when activated and was created for the Publishers/Developers to easily alert customers that DLC is now available.Originally Posted by cdj
Yellow = Game has new DLC.
Blue = Developer is upset you have not bought DLC.
Red = You have played more than 20 hours of this game and purchased no DLC.
Green = We have most of your money and there are just a few more items to buy before we leave you alone.
Off = All DLC Purchased. Thank you.
and as the earlier picture provided by CDJ showed, mutli-colored lights that will cause a seizure if you are plying a used game and therefore stealing from them.

This! Prime example, for some reason NHL's Connected Careers are always online, nothing is saved local. So I'm playing a game last night against the CPU not a user and I dropped connection to the EA Servers. Game boots me out and I have to play it again.
So it's a fucking mood ring

Holy fuckin' shit, that sounds HORRIBLE.If that's true, that's the gayest thing I've ever seen.
It also gives all liberals cancer.Holy fuckin' shit, that sounds HORRIBLE.

You can cure and treat cancer. Can't cure and treat being a RepublicanIt also gives all liberals cancer.
Prototypes aren't meant to be pretty.
Where did you see a bit on triggers?
I'm guessing the touchpad replaces the start/select screen. Just the pad to start the game, kinda like the Vita.
actually there is NO CURE for any type cancer (although it can be "treated"). but thanks for trying to play with metaphors.You can cure and treat cancer. Can't cure and treat being a Republican
You can vaguely make out what looks like could be Start/Select to the top-sides of the touchpad.
Yeah I forgot about what they think is a share button. That could be select or something like that for games that use select. Can easily use the touchpad to replace start.
Lol, I know...I meant it's ugly even for a prototype. It looks much better in the second picture.
Triggers are clear at the bottom:
Update: Another source has told IGN that the mysterious space in the middle of the controller can be pressed like a button, something Kotaku's source has also stated. Our separate source also indicates that the R2 and L2 buttons may actually be more in line with spring-loaded Xbox 360-like triggers and that the light atop the controller is indeed a PlayStation Move sensor.
The newest rumor is in regard to the next PlayStation’s ability to stream games. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that “Sony Corp. is planning to offer technology to stream games to its next videogame console,” according to its own sources.
The new technology, to be unveiled Wednesday along with the new console, will allow users to play games delivered over the Internet, these people said. The streaming service, they added, is designed to use current PlayStation 3 titles on the new console; the new device is also expected to play new games stored on optical discs.
As WSJ points out, such a move on Sony’s part would be unsurprising. Even when it was drowning in red ink, it still took a massive risk when it bought streaming service Gaikai for $380 million. There is absolutely no doubt that, with an investment that significant at such a difficult time for Sony, that the company’s technology will be poised to play an important role in Sony’s future.
Streaming games to PlayStation 4 (and perhaps other Sony devices) would be significant, giving gamers access to a wide array of titles that they never had to purchase outright. This could suggest that Sony may have a game rental-like service on its next PlayStation, or perhaps even a new subscription service that would give gamers access to a library of offerings. At this point, everything remains speculative.

I wouldn't be surprised a bit. I'd have to assume that was Sony's entire intent when they bought out Gaikai last year. Still, if it works well, it'll definitely be a really, really nice feature to have. Wednesday is going to be a fun day.
