Do you have it? and If so how is it and should i buy 1 now or wait till the controller ships to the u.s? Does the battery life die out faster,do you have to set your system settings to japan? these are prolly dumb questions but i just need to know so thanks for reading

Yeah i have one. Feels great heavy sturdyanalogsfeel better so do the r and lbuttons, rumble is all good apart from the lack of games... but im lucky and i have all the current games that arecompatible... i have a UK ps3 and i didnt have to change any settings. The battery life is still very good 7 days i play about 3-5 hours a day so not bad. I think everyone should get one.

Yup. i have it. It feels heavier and well built. If you don't want to wait, i recomend you getting it from play asia.I got US$5 discount that you can use too offset the purchase.

They already started shipping out to worldwide. Its takes 5 days to 2 weeks. If you are getting uncharted, u must get dual shock 3. It rocks with it. The US launch is quite far off. It will be in spring 2008. Furthermore, now there is a discount. It will not be forever. If you don't get it now with the discount, you may have to pay more once the promotion is over. I heard a few weeks ago, the dual shock 3 were out of stock. I also have a hard time searching for it.

I have one...it's much heavier and feels sturdier. It's an excellent controller, and to whoever said everyone should get one, I second you.

I got one and half my games support it. It is great battery life is awesome and if you can get it for $59 since there was a deal going on at play-asis then get it but if not I heard it is suppose to come to the US early but that is just a rumor.

Dude...Play Asia has an awesome price. With the discount it comes out to be $61. If you waited for it to come out in the spring 08', it'd cost $55-56 with tax. Thats only $6 more to have it an extra three months.

And its fully compatable with all PS3's of any region.

Some sellers are throwing them up on eBay as well, and they are going for about the same price as importing from Play-Asia; the only problem is, they sell pretty quickly.

This may sound like a stupid question but is there any difference from getting one from Play-Asia online and having it shipped over to the US as compared to waiting for it to come out in the US? Like are there any differences in this controller and the one that will be released? If not why is the same exact controller out in japan but they wouldnt release it in the US for a few more months?

No difference. They are all the same.

Because Sony do not have enough stocks to satisfy the whole world at the same time. S

So they are trying to satisfy the demand in japan and asia before launching in US.

sorry for the noob question, but does it matter that on the DUAL SHOCK 3 controller page on PlayAsia it says on italics on the item description :JAPAN

does this mean it's only for Japanese PS3s? or it doesn't matter? thanks again.

does DS3 suffer the same bluetooth cut out problem sixaxis has? I don't mind hooking up USB cable, but it sorta defeat the purpose of controller being wireless.

Never had any problems with Blu-tooth and never heard of anyone else having a problem of that sort. Sixaxis has never had any problems like that...well at least from personal experience and never hearing of a problem like that on gamespot.

hmm might consider buying DS3 from the US Ebay... cos play-asia don't ship them to the UK and there aren't any reasonably priced controllers on the UK ebay.

its rare, maybe once a few days and u usually get controller back in a few seconds. I had to reset controller once though as somehow after one of the cutout all the keys were mapped as (X). and after that I hadn't disconnect USB cable to play. This was during the first couple months of PS3 release though so maybe one of the firmware release fixed the problem... I hope. But yeah, I am definitly picking a white DS3 import. since it probably won't get released here.

Get one. If you have UT3 it's amazing with it, same with Uncharted. It vibrates eleganty, and feels alot different than the DS2. Oh, and it's heavier, and feels more sturdy; I like it that way.

There's a site with a list of games that support DS3 rumbling. I forgot where, though.
