If you resize images yourself, we won't have to load the full huge image.

I haven't seen those, but they look really sweet as a collector's item.  I take it you bought all three?  Are there others?  Tried any yet or are you just leaving them in the packaging?

Leaving them packaged. I dont know how they would play. I picked them up at Circuit City $20 a piece.
Those were the only 3 i saw, actually my little bro pointed out "Fleshy".
I didnt see anymore in the store of the same model or others.
EDIT They are really textured so i would say they wouldn't handle too well but you never know.

Yeah that's what it looked like to me too from the pictures.  In general, third party controllers aren't that great in the first place.  With all of that texture, they'd probably be pretty uncomfortable.  Very interesting though.

Once i saw them i put back all the crappy 5-10 dollar games i grabbed in favor of them.
I also put back the 3game switcher thing.
From what i can feel though they have an odd texture. It is strangely comfortable. I bet you would sweat less using these too because of all the spots for air to get in.

It is stuff like this that starts to piss me off.
If anyone wanted to pick up these controllers click that link and you can buy them and get a free rental with it.

The connection was refused when trying to contact ign.com.

just worked fine for me. I don't know what to tell you. Try again.
When you by "Fleshy" (i dont know if it exclusive to that model but thats the one they show pics of) you get a free rental on Clock Tower 3, Manhunt or Silent Hill 4(again i don't know if it is exlusive to only these 3 games but those are the ones pictured)

I tried it again and it still didn't work.  Even gave it a shot in IE (still using Firefox and the evil download manager) and it didn't work in IE.  I even tried it in Opera (which is faster than IE or Firefox btw) but it didn't work there either.  If it's the disabled cookies that is the problem, I just won't be seeing it because I don't trust IGN these days.  Shouldn't be that though, since the rest of their site works just fine for me in both browsers.

My Blockbuster has the Fleshy one selling for 25 bucks. Circuit City dropped the prices on theirs to 17 or 18 bucks (my mom said) so i am going back to get my 9 or 6 bucks back.
I stil think those are the only 3 models because i have not seen any in other stores yet. Should anyone happen to see anymore let me know. I want to get the complete set of these wierd controllers.
