I went to my local EBgames today and they had DS3 controllers in stock... just picked mine up! (If you already knew please don't flame me... just thought I'd let those who didn't know that the controllers are on store shelves).

R there different colors? With three gamers in the house it would be nice to have a color coded controller to know who's is who'snt.

I had no clue DS3's were coming out this month. I got mine off playasia a while back though. Do they have the white ones in stores?

Can't tell yet. Feels a little nicer then the regular sixaxis. I'd try it when I get home but I'm playing COD4 and it's not supported.

It's stupid how Bestbuy (not even the US one) and Futureshop don't list them online yet. I will probably just go to EB and get one...

I just picked mine up. It had a good weight to it and feels really good in my hands, but i haven't been able to try it due to it charging right now. I really only have two games that it will support.

Yeah I just called my Futureshop near me, and they have it for $59.99. It's not listed on the website though. EB Games has it too. I'd assume Bestbuy as well. Just call the electronics store near you. I am gonna pick mine up tomorrow. (Ontario)

i just ordered one of the white ones from japan. apparently they work perfectly on US PS3s too. They also have a silver version. Got it at play asia.com for $59.99. got the white one cause i thought it looked cool and i could easily tell it apart from my other black sixaxis controllers - not bad for $5 more. anxious to see how it feels.

Had to go to like 3 different stores till I found the one that had them in stock. I forgot how much fun rumble is with games :)

Warhawk is so much more intense now when standing next to a tank and it fires a round and you feel that intense vibration, lol.

Just called my local GameStop and they have it in stock. Also asked them what if I trade in my new SIXAXIS controller and they said they'll buy it for $10, wat a ***ing low baller. :lol: I know I can sell it for $30 on craigslist so don't even bother. But seriously, Sony needs to have a trade in program or some sort, why make all PS3 owners go out and buy a new controller (equip with old technology) and charge more? Dun really get it......

The rumble is not the same as Dualshock 2. It is touchsense rumble and rumbles in different places. So it's not old technology, but I agree it is rather expensive.

I wouldn't think so. I'll pick one up when the price drop significantly, or when my SIXAXIS runs out...

So either then vibrating and being somewhat heavier is there any thing different about it? I have two sixaxis controllers, and if there isn't much about the dual shock I'll just pass on it. Is it worth buying another controller is what I'm basically trying to ask.

I was just waiting for DS3 to hit before picking up a second controller. Got mine today and glad I did.
