PlayStation 4 Slim's New Controller Redesign Leaked

A video of the redesigned DualShock controller that will come with the PS4 Slim has hit the internet.

Over the weekend, someone, somehow, Eurogamer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/168216-Report-PS4-Slim-to-be-Announced-Alongside-Neo-at-Sonys-September-Event#&gid=gallery_6425&pid=1] confirming that it exists by actually driving out to the dude's house to check it out. But the leaks don't stop with just the revised, slimline console: the PS4 Slim will also ship with a revision to the DualShock 4 controller, which we now have a video of.

The new controller appears to not be too different from the DualShock we all know and love, with the notable addition of an additional tiny light bar across the touchpad of the controller so that players can actually see the light bar while playing. The leaker later clarified that "I am not sure that it's an additional light, It looks to be just a slim see through part on the touchpad which lets light through."

He claims that he will post more videos of both the PS4 Slim and it's new controller soon, so stay tuned to his YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBmj3YbaYeCpbnpPKOvwD4w].

Not a huge difference, but a noticeable one. If/when my current dualshock plays out I might pick one up. But not going to run out to grab one. Never bought into the whole "stylized" controller since the majority of my play time is spent looking at the screen and not my hands. Overall just a way to stand out or personalize the system.

"know and love"? I find the playstation line of controllers to be one of the most obnoxious in existence.
But what do I know, since apparently my taste in controllers diametrically opposes pretty much everyone else's...

If the left stick doesn't crap out for no reason, then I'll be happy.
