Can't say I'm impressed with the casing, and I'm even less impressed with the controler. God I hope that controler isn't a finalized design.
I all I can say is, I keeping my PS2 around for a little longer, I'm not makeing the mistake of picking one up at launch, only to have it die the following year. But Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, it's going to be hard holding out, for the second model.
