Xbox 2 Controller Loses Two Buttons, PS3 Gains One?

sbszine writes "Gaming rumors site C&VG is reporting that the the black and white buttons will be removed from the Xbox 2 controller, according to an un-named source. This would seem to support the reports of no backwards compatibility in Xbox 2. The site also has some interesting PS3 controller rumors: wireless control as standard, and a dedicated 'trigger' button for FPS games (in addition to the existing shoulder buttons)."

    "Shouldn't that be running out about now? IIRC, patents only last 17 years, and the NES came out in 1985"

    Its 20 years, but 20 from the first Game & Watch. So either way it will have run out in time for the PS3 launch.
