Red LED on sixaxis

Sorry to bust the bubble on this one, but the so called 'debug' controllers that were around *before* the PS3 was release had this LED begind the PS button in the center of the controller. It was possibly an indicator that the thing was on, or perhaps charging?

When the final controllers were shipped, the LED had been removed. I believe that you can mod your controller to put an LED in there if you so desire. From what I understand it will light up when the controller is charging.

The fact that the controller in the picture on the box has this light might be a little mis-leading, unless of course Sony has decided to put the led back in. If so, I will have to upgrade my controller, I wanted the nice orange-red glow since I got mine...
