Dual Shock 3 Released
So tonight at work (yeah yeah, its Walmart..) I'm putting up my freight, and I open a box that is PS3 controllers. I use the magnet keychain to unlock the peg and start to put up what i think is the SIXAXIS, and then see a big fat DUAL SHOCK 3 on the side and go OMGGGGGG! I can't remember when it was scheduled for here, probably like a week ago since we get **** late, but I know we have it, and its not the $59 I had heard, which is pretty much why I bought it.

I'm reading about directional rumble which sounds legit and sweet. Also, if it works for COD4 and DMC4...I'm sold.

You could get it at gamestop on March 30th lol.


and No rumble for COD4 yet, but pretty good buy for me. I also imported a white one earlier in the year simply cause it looks so silky smooth.

I really feel bad for the australians.

DualShock 3 gets Oz release date News // PS3 /// Eurogamer

Ouch! I recommend that any Australians (or Europeans, for that matter) might want to get one imported instead of paying that ridiculous price!

Most games out now do not have directional rumble since they are all simply patched to support basic rumble. I heard reports of some games having a little bit different rumble than normal though.

Also, MGS4 is supposed to be the first game that fully uses the new rumble. I would like to see how it turns out.


Also, COD4 does not support rumble, and 402 said that it isn't on their agenda to add it any time in the future.

No biggy for me, I think I'm just more or less glad that if a 360 fanboy comes over and talks **** about the rumble i can say "what now?". Or just go in the living room and turn on the jet engine 360 compared to the oh so quiet ps3.

That's the PS3's claim to fame, it's quiet

I never understood why they would have taken out the rumble feature in the first place. Did it interfere with the SIX-AXIS controls?

They got sued and couldn't use it. It was like a patent violation or some gay ****.

Indeed. They originally claimed that rumble was "a last gen feature", and motion sensing was the way forward, pretty much implying that anyone who wanted rumble is an idiot stuck in the past. Of course, this wasn't the case, they stopped being stupid and pig-headed and settled with Immersion (who holds the rumble patent) and now we have the Dual Shock 3.

I'm glad that Sony are beginning to realise that they can't get complacent just because PS1 and 2 were so successful. They appear to be realising that they can't just arbitrarily decide what people want and what the future is. People started voting with their wallets and it seems they're now listening to the fans and sorting out a lot of their mistakes. So well done Sony. Eventually.
