I take back what I said. At that price, I think I will go for the import after all! That's probably only a few bucks more than it will cost when it releases domestically.

Thanks for the info!

Id do it right away. I was going to order a white one because North America is most likely not getting them.

I just bought a hockey jersey and 2 hats for like $450 so I think Ill wait for the controller :P .

As soon as the DS3 was announced I pre-ordered 2 from Yes Asia. The DS3 is a great controller.

Already got mine. I like the improved joystick feel, and the triggers feel a bit better than the sixaxis's.

Nope, not me. I personally couldn't care less about rumble and I won't be buying a DS3 until I need a new controller, and even then if the SixAxis goes down in price to make way for the DS3 then I'll probably just buy a SixAxis.

I felt the same way until I got my DS3s. The second I fired up a game with rumble support I remember what I liked about it.

I can't say I really miss having the rumble support and I have 3 Sixaxis controllers (one still in the packaging), so I'm pretty much set for quite a while.

Heavenly sword got its patch released today. I think folklore now works with rumble.

importing means u can play the games with rumble early.

The difference is just a few dollars. not worth to wait.

Anyway, when it comes, some shopsmay attempt to raise its price due to supplyshortage and heavy demand.

It takes 5 to 10 days to reach you. Not counting Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.

Also this is the festive season, so delay is expected.

No. I'm not hyped about the rumble controller anyway. I mean when I got the ps3 at launch 06...I forgot about the rumble and don't miss it at all.

I got my black onewhen it was overpriced unfortunately. Now you can get them for 55 - 60 bones.

I like it. other than the heft, I also noticed it's made of a different plastic than the six-axis. The Six-axis has a very dark transparent plastic if you look at it closely. You can see the red light on the top of the controller shining through the plastic.

The Dual Shock 3 on the other hand, Is made of a heavy black plastic, similar to the Dual Shock 1 controllers. It always seemedthe Dual SHock 2 felt cheaper in hand than the Dual Shock 1. The quality is back again on the Dual Shock 3.

If you've felt Warhawk in rumble, you'll know that the extra $5 you paid was well worth getting it months in advanced.

Flak cannon fire and everything rumbles amazingly in Warhawk and it rocks in Uncharted too.

U don't know what you are missing until you really experience it. How true.

I got one.

It is great in Warhawk & Uncharted, but is annoying in Ratchet & Clank.

No, I don't miss rumble at all, and I LOVE how light the Sixaxis is. If a game can manage to utilize the feature in a very meaningful way, I might pick one up eventually.

I got mine from www.japanvideogames.com only $65 after shipping. I didn't realize how much I missed rumble until I had it again. Plus the controller has a much better weight to it and doesn't feel as cheap as the sixaxis.

I have considered getting one imported to New Zealand, because we get ripped of here, so i could actually get a DS3 imported for less than purchasing a SIXAXIS from NZ! but im not desperate for one yet so ill wait, but when i do want one ill definatey import it. so i guess that means YES I would by an imported PS3 Rumble Controler (Dualshock 3).

I just ordered mine technically yesterday cause its 2am right now. Ceramic white, im so excited. Plus my sixaxis joysticks have been "sticking" and while i've gotten used to them like that, it would be nice to be able to prone in CoD4 and actually aim and shoot in that position lol. sooo bring on teh DUALSHOCK3 :D

Does anybody here own the DS3. If you do, can you confirm if its identical or not to the DS2 rumble.

There was previous promise of the DS3 having better rumble technology or 'touchsense'. But recent articles on the web say DS3 rumble = last gen DS2 rumble.

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gaming/playstation-3s-dualshock-3-tech-exactly-the-same-as-dualshock-2-tech-302545.php

Anybody can help to confirm what their saying is true? Sorry if this is old news.

Well currently you don't have any other choices except to buy an imported DS3(japan) because it's not out yet in EU/NA. I bought one and it's awesome!!
