Heheheh... Looking good! (At least you don't have to model the controller - unless you want to.) Still needs holes for the controller plugs and memory cards (and you thought making the circular indentations were tricky.)

I've got the indentations technique down to some extent, but sometimes it gets tricky no matter what.

On a flat it's easy if you make a big n-gon. Just put a cylinder with the same number of sides on it and bridge. Dissolve the rest of the cylinder off, flatten if needed. Inset, and then extrude the cirle in. If you get the idea of how Catmull-Clarke subdivisions work, you'll pick up on how to control shapes with edges pretty quick. :)
