I remember that the ps3 will be able to have up to seven wireless controllers linked up at once, but the banannarang doesnt have any player indicator lights. And when they do get around to it in the final design, are there going to be seven indicators, an led ? Speculation is fun.

what's with all the PS3 controller threads all of a sudden? :\

Was it seven controllers or seven devices? I can't see the need for seven controllers.

Devices - it's the basic limit of a Bluetooth piconet.

I'm almost positive they said it was capable of handling up to seven controllers, but being that it's Bluetooth, I'd be surprised if PlayStation 3 weren't capable of handling up to 7 Bluetooth devices rather than just controllers. I'd like to use my mobile phone Bluetooth set for playing online.

It was always said to be controllers. They may have meant devices, but I figured it was for Bomberman type games... then there's of course the two screens(TVs) stuff.

As for the topic. *shrugs* Concept controller, they'd be crazy not to add something similar in the final design.

on clicking the topic, i expected to see a mock-up PS3 pad with car indicator lights.

Indicate youre going to go left but actually go right in GTA4 for hilarious results!

If the wireless controllers are Bluetooth, it will be limited to 7 devices because that's the current Bluetooth limit.

Perhaps you can have 8 controllers if one or more are wired? Of course, you still might only be able to use 4 controllers (software/firmware limitation)...but 7 is a Bluetooth limit. I'm pretty that's where the "7" comes from.
