Thinking about importing the white one from a very reliable japan site on ebay. If I get this product in Japan it should be just the same as buying one in the U.S. as in it will work with my U.S. PS3? I figured it should, but just wanted to ask you guys for further confirmation.

I believe it works, but voids your waranty, although I'm not sure.

why would it void your warranty its a controller made by sony, and it will work just fine on your ps3 if you import it from japan.

Yeah no need to worry, it will work and it wont void any warranty, however you cannot send the controller to Sony America if it is defective, you would have to find a way to contact Sony Japan. At least thats what Sony tech support is telling me...

And Who Dey!

Don't worry about it. I've been importing everything from systems to controllers....The controller will work fine on your system. I've got one on the way from my friend staying in Japan.

Is that so? I hadn't heard anything on either using the rumble function. That's cool then, I wonder how they'll use it in Uncharted. Any links with some interesting details?

Yeah it'll work with the current games coming out (R&C has it), and older games may get a patch.

No link but I recall the Uncharted rumble ws very good. R&C not so much, only uses it sparingly.
