I still don't know what kind of rumble tecnology is built inside that damn controller,is it a custom touchsense or just the old rumble tecnology?Until this question will be answered,it's a no....
However i'll buy one regardless when msg4 will come out.

Besides the trolling, this is a common misconception I keep reading over and over again.
AFAIK Sony never stated something like "we didn't add rumble cos it's an old gen feature". The old/next gen argument was brought up in relation to the decision to add the motion sensor instead of the rumble. They had to choose between the two, and went with the motion sensor claiming it was more "next gen" than the "old gen" rumble. Which is hardly debateble.
As for the reasoning about the OMISSION of the rumble ON TOP of the motion sensor, that's another story.

How am i trolling? I like both systems, but i'm not so blinded by fanboyism that i'm going to stick up for a controller without rumble vs. one WITH rumble
Why can't you all just admit it, not having rumble just straight up BLOWS and takes a ton of immersion out of gaming. :shrug:
And PR sure. I'll let Phil Harrison have that one since i would have his love child. And anyways, my beef isn't with Sony really - it's towards the obviously ignorant and stubborn people who won't just admit that rumble does make a difference. They aren't bringing it back just for shits and giggles ya know.

Might as well if R&C support it.
DCharlie said:i did - my theory was that i would be buying 4 controllers anyways, so might as well get them at launch. Plus i`d still need 4 controllers for BC too.
4 players - Warhawk
back then ? not as such.
I have 6 sixaxis....so don't feel too bad....
I bought 4 additional ones plus the ones that came with my PS3 and the PS3 I bought for my little bro....
its fun for the sports games.....and of course Warhawk.....but I feel where it shines to have extra controllers are for PS2/PS1 games that required Multitaps...its just so much easier and less messy.....
has anyone tried trading in any sixaxis yet....how did u get?
I figure I'll only need 2 Shockaxis sticks....so I'll sell 2 of my current ones.....

If it's relatively inexpensive, then yes, I will import.

Nice backpedal... work it!
On topic:
I've been wondering if this delay for Europe and North America isn't actually a good thing. Remember when some Sony big wig said they weren't opposed to having different controllers for different markets. I love the traditional Dual Shock button layout, but I think it would be cool to have the d-pad and the left joystick switch places.

I'll import if the US releases of the games this fall have rumble.

Will the DS3 from Japan work on US systems? Play-Asia says it only works on Japanese systems.Holtz said:

That has been my concern the whole time. I don't know why it wouldn't work, but I don't want to buy a paperweight either.

According to statements, there is not technical standing in the way from using an imported controller.

YesAsia's one is a fairly good deal. They have a promotion right now when you purchase over US$50.00 you get a US$5.00 coupon for your next purchase. Free shipping too of course.

I think Play Asia knows full well just how much Americans and Canadians pay for the Sixaxis. They just added to that and then added a BS list price to make us feel like we're getting a deal.

Rice-Eater said:
Why have a BS like price like that?
Make it have a list price of $200, it makes it look like even more of a value.

AstroLad said:
Well, either way, they aren't paying $70 for these controllers.
They give an absurd list price which we KNOW isn't the Japanese retail price. If they are giving absurd list prices, why not make it look like you are getting a good value by raising the list price higher and give a large "discount" that lowers the price to $70.

Hopefully that answers your question.
kenta said:I went with white just because I already have 2 black ones. When the original DualShock came out, I bought it in black (when the rest of the controllers were grey) and it became my lucky controller, I'm hoping the same happens here
I'll probably do the same
To be honest ... if there was a PS3 region hack, I'd actually just order the white PS3. Initial impressions say its quieter ... plus you're not getting ripped on the controller pricing.

if burnout is notably better on PS3 (to make up for the fact i'd be leaving behind my group of 360 owning friends that still play revenge online every week) i'm importing. i'm not playing burnout without rumble.
