The way in which the controller is being described for use is awesome. Using it as a sword, shield or fishing rod in Zelda, drumsticks in Donkey Konga or punching with it in Smash Brothers. I just hope it lives up to the hype!

Fairly old news new sir, but nonetheless a wonderful excuse to post this highly original take on the playsation controller that appeared recently.
Yes the right hand side is shaped liek a lazer pistol and works as a lightgun.

Sony fucking suck, big time.

I doubt highly that it's an offical peripheral, but amusing nonetheless.

Oh wait, here we go

SplitFish GameWare showed off a truly funky PlayStation 2 controller that feels more than a little like the mysterious Nintendo Revolution controller. The DualFX Controller is a two-piece PS2 controller with tethered halves: a gun trigger and an odd laser movement system. The left half of the controller is a fairly average analog stick with a D-pad and shoulder buttons, similar to the left side of a standard PS2 controller. The right half, however, is a gunlike device with a laser pointer. The laser tracks movement in the controller and lets players actively aim in first-person shooters. The laser system proved very inconsistent in hands-on tests, but it is, at the very least, an interesting approach. The DualFX will start shipping in March and will cost about $60.

The more I see/read about that nintendo controller, the more I think it's going to be superb.

Joystiq had a play of the PS2 3rd party "Revolution" style controller and well....the words "not impressed" weren't said, but strongly hinted at.
