I would imagine not, it's more likely that it will be all HUB based, however as most HUBs only have 6 ports (4 on some) it does mean you will get an ugly mess when you try to plug the 100 or so controllers in :) I would like to see more games announced for it however, a nice Platformer for a change, none of the Playstation platformers are as good as their Nintendo rivals, and I would love them to dump the old controllers, they are not great for long stints, I would have never completed Zelda using one my thumb would have cramped up ages ago :) and as for Mario aghhh I can feel the pain, thankfully I didn't have to, the N64 controllers are a lot more comfortable, and developers seem to have gotten on better with the N64 controllers, most games on the Playstation that support the Dual Shock still work better with the DPad, Micro Machines 4 being the latest example, completely unplayable with the analog (as one of the programmers said at ECTS) much better with the DPad, I could even stay on the track with the analog :( I Suppose you all think it's the best thing since sliced bread ;-) Nigel
