"Stop getting Bond wrong!" - Does the design of the 007: First Light PS5 controller look off to you?

This is a strange thing to write but does the design of the limited edition 007: First Light DualSense PS5 controller look off to you? As in, wrong? Not wrong in the sense that someone made a mistake, but wrong in the sense the design doesn't capture one of the most iconic James Bond motifs there is: the swirly inside of the barrel of a gun.

Legal review added friction. Compliance teams flagged edge cases. And capable as Gemma 3 was, "open" with asterisks isn't the same as open.Gemma 4... Read more
