I'm freakin crazy I tell ya. I broke down, after three weeks worth of price increases and debating.

Knowing my luck, the controller will come to the states with improved charging capabilities, like a bigger battery or something. Oh well......oh yea, it's black.

Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for it? I've been thinking about getting one myself. I don't know if I want to wait until spring '08 as long as the price isn't outrageous.

Over the past four weeks, the've jumped from 57.99, to 84.99 after shipping. I paid the latter. I considered the white version, but I'm fond of the black six-axis as it is. The way I see it, I paid 25 dollars extra just to get it earlier. I doubt they will be anything less than 59.99 when they arrive in the states.

By the way, someone said that the six-axis controllers on the 40gb use a different type of plastic now. don't know if this is true, but I will try my best to confirm it.
