If not the ergonomics, I'd like to see them at least tweak the button and analogue layout. That's assuming, of course, that next generation we don't see everyone moving towards controllers similar to the Wii.
Actually, I was happy to find out when I first held my new controller that the design was tweaked a little. The shape is absolutely the same. But the R2 and L2 triggers are actually trigger-like. They are not shaped like triggers, the button shape is the same. But they are no longer buttons. You can pull them back more, like a trigger. They release with a nice snap to them. It's very comfortable. As a note that is purely preference on my part, I wish that the color Sony chose for their new system was an orangey-red. I really liked the blue. Gomen red lovers!

@Lebron I've had no problems with mine yet. That is really weird. I'm assuming that it wasn't just the blue screen on the tv when nothing is playing to it? It was a different color than the bright tv blue? Do let us know if it happens again. That's what warrenties are for, ne? Oh, and do you have a PSN UN?
