PDP sent over a press release yesterday announcing Tron: Evolution and Epic Mickey controllers it was making, and we basically ignored it. Because, you know, “LOL, controllers,” right?
Today’s slow news day forced my hand into giving them a closer look and… words are failing me right now. The Tron ones for Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 3 are cool I guess; they glow and are all Tron-y. But the paintbrush Wii Nunchuk is the most outrageous, mind-bending peripheral I’ve seen since those “Freaks” controllers Game Elements released for the original Xbox and PlayStation 2.
Seriously, what the hell are we looking at here? Well, up there you see a Wii Nunchuck that looks like a damned paintbrush. PDP is also releasing a Wii Remote controller charger that only charges one remote and looks like an Evil Blot; the Mickey Mouse figure is removable if you wanted to play with him in the bathtub or something.
All the accessories will be available for the game’s launch, which looks to be holiday of this year.

I'm taking that Tron controller too.
I wouldn't buy any of them. I imagine the brush would be fun for kids, but I tend to hate gimmicky things that don't really do anything. *stares longingly at the tron 360 pad*
I'd definitely buy a bundle of the paintbrush, charger and the game.
The charger is pretty great though.
I'm not sure what Sony dictates, but the reason for the cord on the Xbox 360 controller is that Microsoft very rarely allows 3rd parties to make wireless accessories. The console is designed to not accept signals from devices that don't have the proper, for lack of a better term, "handshake protocols", and MS has been very reluctant to give those out since launch.
So, for the most part, 3rd party controllers would be wired for the 360. I don't know if Sony has a similar stance, of if it was a decision by PDP themselves to keep the cost of the controller lower.
The tron controllers are pretty sick though
WANT....NOW!
This is pure win =D
