I’m going to probably get the Dualshock 3 controllers when I preorder MGS4 limited edition version

Moeeed  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 4:37 pm

I been using one for a while, since December and the DUAL SHOCK 3 is awesome.

Dew87  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm

What about Europe Sony? What about the millions of people on this side of the pond helping PS3 outsell the 360?

AndyBD  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 4:55 pm

Me, like other people want to know if you will replace the sixaxis controllers for the new dualshock 3 because we were told that there were no future plans for vibaration?

AndyBD  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Sorry to double post, but will you guys include a USB cable with this controller?

Seba501  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 4:58 pm

it`s was time !!

Sony thought that the Rumble it`s was part of the past lol

ChrispyCritter  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 5:08 pm

I can’t wait for this controller i miss my rumble

laXrider  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm

Come on Sony, I payed an extra $100 for my extra two Sixaxis controllers…couldn’t you offer some kind of exchange program? I appreciate the addition but I can’t really afford to be buying new controllers as they come out.

Lowe0  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm

Finally. I imported one, but the piece of garbage arrived with a busted left analog (think it was a loose solder joint - it worked fine if you pushed the stick in, but used normally, it sent almost nothing). It’ll be nice to get one, but now I’m stuck with a year’s worth of games that may or may not be patched to support it. Features like rumble or online APIs have to be baked in from day one, or you end up in a situation like this.

frito  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 5:36 pm

@159laXrider

I feel the same way…I’m glad that people don’t simply buy the new dualshock controllers from dumb ol walmart and then return the sixaxis controllers instead. that would be just wrong.

sushiballz  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 6:42 pm

eh. i refuse to pay for what we should already have. so i basically have 4 sixaxis controllers that are obsolete after only a year. nice.

HoOn  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 7:16 pm

It’s about time! I’ve had my White rumble when I bought it in Japan in February. I can’t wait for the patches!

Kittonwy  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 7:35 pm

It’s about time!!!111!!! >:|

Marciano1980  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 7:48 pm

I got my dualshock 3 in March, and it goes terrific. For me is a hardware upgrade necessary and if you don’t like the rumble but the wheight you have the option to shut down this on the menu.

JaggedToaster  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 8:04 pm

One question: will we be seeing the DS3 included in the 40GB bundle, or will it continue to be the SIXAXIS? I’ll be buying one in June, and no, I do not want the MGS4 bundle.

Squamden  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I’ve had my white DualShock 3 since it launched in Japan, and it really is worth it guys. I couldn’t be happier with my import, it feels great and is overall an awesome controller. The SIXAXIS feels like junk compared to this.

Aqualung  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 8:12 pm

is the new HotShots rumble ready?

Zorox  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 8:39 pm

Hooray, now the PS3 has something the Xbox360 offered since day one! Woo hoo, THIS IS WAITING!

AGQ0105  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 8:51 pm

Different colors, people love that stuff. You guys should offer it, and not wait months to offer it. Limited Editions of certain colors would be cool.

I’ll stick to black. Wished all my systems were sleek and black like the ps3

angelcurio  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 8:55 pm

So, i ask about PSN cards, and my post simply gets deleted. Awesome, i love freedom of speech.

Majin_Neo  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 9:06 pm

Thank you sooo much for the DualShock3! It is seriously kicking butt! And I’m really glad the battery life didnt change.

BlackTooth93  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 10:07 pm

i’ve had mine for a while, and its great! any plans on releasing white and silver in the NA region?

MikeG115  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 pm

NBA2K8, GRAW2, and CoD4 need a patch

please get on it. i’ve have my DS3 since last year.

SDkngsht  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 pm

cool news. i’m sure i’ll pick up a few of these once they come out.

a promotion where people get a significant amount off by trading in old controllers (to be refurbished with rumble?) would be really cool too. hint hint.

marcus1060  |  April 2nd, 2008 at 11:22 pm

If I buy a 40gig PS3 in around 3-4 weeks, will it have a DS3?

wallbc01  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 am

can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. i will be checking some stores on sunday and hopefully find one!!!!

chillski  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 1:05 am

WHERE IS CALL OF DUTY ??!?!?!!!!!

Why is it that the number one selling ps3 game, the game with the largest community behind NOT TO MENTION a game that can really benefit from force feedback has no dualshock support ???

sony this is truly appauling PLEASE PLEASE, PLEASE FIX THIS !!

masteratt  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 3:17 am

What’s going on with the UK release/ pricing?
Any news yet?

(Sorry if it’s been asked but I’m not going to go through 4 pages of comments, maybe a search feature?)

-SIXAXIS-  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 4:42 am

I don’t care if Call of Duty doesn’t have rumble. As long as GTA IV has rumble, I’m set.

NewYork214  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 5:11 am

its up to the publishers to release a rumble patch. they are done through the game like how resistance and motorstorm got rumble not through the playstation store so im guessin its all up to the publishers.

Faramir  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 5:41 am

This is my first time here. Now, I’m definitely gonna spend my money on a new PS! You guys keep coming out with cool stuff… I have to keep up with my $$ to spend lol!

PSP_Dudemon  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 7:43 am

Any chance Oblivion will get rumble support?

TouchyEd  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 10:01 am

GT5 Prologue is FINALLY going to introduce vehicle damage modelling to the GT series — as early as AUGUST!!

(http://ps3.ign.com/articles/864/864142p1.html)

The DualShock 3 will be awesome for this!! I can’t frickin’ wait.

I wonder what all the losers who have always said “GT doesn’t need damage modelling” will do when it arrives? Probably love it like the rest of us.

xT3RMlNATORx  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 am

I hope these are more durable than the old sixaxis. I’ve been through three of those cheaply-made pieces of crap!

TouchyEd  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 10:59 am

You must abuse the crap out of them. I have four — and my buddies and I use them all the time — and I’ve never had to replace any of them.

COOL__JOSH  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 11:40 am

Shocking!!!

klekamp  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 12:47 pm

I’m very excited, and will picking up two next week!

warezIbanez  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 pm

@146,

Sony never included rumble in the Sixaxis from a lawsuit between them and Immersion during the controller’s development period. Since they have settled things, they were able to include rumble in the controllers.

REZBLUE  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 2:08 pm

Just picked mine up at a local EB today. Works great. Finally have that PS2 feeling now when I play PS3. Awesome.

super8sean  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm

Will we get a rumble update patch for COD4???
and nba 2k8 does not rumble. will we get a patch for that
i’ve had my controller for a month now. ordered mine from japan.
The only games that rumble are burnout and drakes fortune

Vassago  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 2:32 pm

Hi, so a good news here i think they will comwe out next week but here in Quebec i just call the store and they have it WWwwowOoooooTTttttttTTt i’ going to buy it right now Just a little question because no one ask for this games they only speak for Cod 4 (sure i want rumble for this games to ) but what about GTA 4 ??????????? hope they will make this baby rumble for the lauch Thank again for all the great work Sony ( Can’t wait to play GT 5 )

ryjo965  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 2:41 pm

looking at that list, it seems it’s compatable with every ps3 game, round about 30.

frito  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm

Too bad no compatibility with the great game DIRT…I was looking forward to feeling those impacts, but MotorStorm should be enough to hold me over!

stennex  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 4:52 pm

I noticed that there was no rumble support for the free GT demo we got last year. Anyway i guess GT5PRO will have. ALso i loved the several videos that were available on the store and the internet. I think SOny should definitely use these as adds especially the one with Weezer. Great videos.

scarface3010  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 7:06 pm

I am looking forward to the DS3, I thought about importing it for awhile but held out. I think that the cost is reasonable considering that you were able to incorporate the rumble with the motion sensing. I hope to be breaking in mine this Monday.

TheN1Armyguy  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm

Awesome, I’m going to get one next week. What are the pressure sensors? Putting pressure sensors in the controller wouldn’t make sense to rumble, can you enlighten me on what they are for?

Thanks!

perkyperk98  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 7:37 pm

How CALL OF DUTY 4??? That would be insane….

the6one  |  April 3rd, 2008 at 9:08 pm

Sony I am so proud of you!!!!!

Continue the great work!!!!!!!

A job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS3 will be market leader by 2010!!!!!!!!
