Problem with sweaty palms and greasy controllers? This might help you out. Logitech has recently announced the Logitech ChillStream controller for the PS3. The chubby looking thing comes with a built in fan-based cooling system to help keep your oh-so-tired-from-button-mashing fingers dry and cool.

The ChillStream technology just basically means that Logitech managed to fit in a 40mm fan (that circulates up to 3.41 cubic feet of air per minute) right into your controller. Three narrow vents on the sides of the controller direct the air directly into your fingers, the base of your thumb, and the palm of your hand. The controller comes in two finishes - metallic silver or glossy black, just for the aesthetically anal among you gamer folks.

Moreover, Logitech says that you can use the cooling system in three different settings - high, low, and off - but really, there's just only two. If it's off... you're not using it.

Anyway, the Logitech ChillStream controller has a suggested retail price of $39.99 in the U.S. and will be available in North America, Asia, and Japan when the PS3 is launched this November.

does this include the tilt functions? I am willing to bet 3rd parties would leave that part out to save cash.
