PlayStation Trains 'Kids' for Army Control

"These kids come out of school and when they join the army, they are experts with Playstation controls. Our controls inside vehicles play into that, because they are already half-trained in how to use them."

So says Douglas Caster, the chief executive of Ultra Electronics in The Daily Telegraph. Ultra has seen its profits rise by 16% in the first half of this year based on selling fab stuff like weapons deployment systems.

According to Doug, there is also little chance that profits will dip for a while, "because US's defence budget is likely to remain high on the back of 'international tension'".

Phew, that's a relief then. Now, we looked over Ultra's website for its PlayStation control devices - and all we could come up with was the joystick pictured right.
