Looks like it from the pictures, doesn't it? If true, that will be another nice "richness" design feature, like the slot loading drive or the glossy looking shell.
Yeah, I think PS3 looks like something a lot more expensive than it will end up costing, much like PSP if fact. I don't know who had input in that controller redesign though That one's just bizarre...
and what's up with the trigger buttons on the controller? they look like they've been designed and tested by someone with index fingers and middle fingers swapped...
