As Stephen Colbert would say, "We called it!" SIXAXIS awakens...

We've said it once, we've said it twice, but now it's completely and utterly official -- the PS3 controller is the SIXAXIS. Now we have the Dual Shock and the SIXAXIS... a match made in heaven (now if only they could "get together" and have a child with both motion and rumble capabilities... if only).

Each SIXAXIS has a lithium ion battery built in that can be recharged by plugging it into the PS3 via USB. A charge takes about 30 minutes. Yeah, you can still play whilst the controller recharges. Isn't the Playstation 3 badass? These should all be standard ideas, but it's nice to know they didn't go the Wavebird route and require AA batteries. That's a pain.
