| The silver color is only to be available in Japan at first, i believe- the UK and North America will only get the black. That boomerang controller was just a prototype, btw- it's officially gone. The actual controller is much more similar in shape to the PS2 controller we know and love. Not many sites taking preorders yet as most are waiting to hear just how many they can expect to get at launch. Considering how the 360 launch went i don't blame them for being a bit more cautious.[/b]

I think I heard or saw somewhere that, in the Uk at least, we WILL get the other colours, White and Silver, but sometime next year. Like you said Lyndon, we'll only get Black at first.
As for the controller, Lyndon is correct, as usual, the controller WILL be a Dual-Shock shaped controller, just without the Dual-Shock. Is gonna be a Motion-Sensor controller instead, similar to Wii-mote, just not as sensitive as the Wii-mote.
Also, the controller will be wireless. It WILL, however, have a small USB connection, like the connection on the PSP, allowing you to connect it to the PS3 console. This is the way that Mobile Phone (Cellphone) style Lithium battery will be recharged. You will, however, STILL be able to play your games while the controller is being recharged, just you will be playing with a Wired controller instead.
And as for Pre-Orders, some shops have been taking Pre-Orders for a few months now, well in the UK anyway, but I haven't seen a SINGLE site yet that has started taking pre-orders. All of them just let you register your interest and then they say they'll send out emails when new news is released and when they are starting taking pre-orders.
Hope that helps a little.
