what ya expect actually? its just a dualshock2 with sixaxis support...

btw, i have 16 DS3s coming over next week .. muhuhaahuaha

I think they were comparing it to other rumble experiences. It wasn't a problem with the controller, but rather the implementation of the rumble.

Just got a white Dual Shock 3 controller...Pics and impressions coming soon.

awesome.

OPEN IT!

 

[DJmizuhara]

I did...it's charging...hehehehe I don't wanna use it while it's connected to the PS3 via a cable.

 

[Sirolf]

So you've bought the goods !!

 

[DJmizuhara]

Yeah, it's bought, I'll be shipping it tomorrow morning.

 

[Sirolf]

Thanks again for your help.
Can't wait for your impression

 

[f@luS]

shoud have mine next week

 

[DJmizuhara]

It feels so much better than the regular six axis controller, feeling much more sturdy and much more weighty. This controller doesn't feel like it's gonna break in your hands.

Playing GT5 with the DS3 brings the whole game alive...this is a much missed feature and I'm glad its back.

 

[Insane Metal]

Wow, that white DS3 is SEX. So beautiful!

How limited was the supply?

 

[Dalauz]

Sorny kill app

 

[DJmizuhara]

Well the store I walked into had about 40 controllers, I bought 8 of them! So it seems they're in a plentiful supply.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Cool. I just checked my Play-Asia order and it says "Nov 9th, Preparing order". Hope I get it soon!

 

[Pachimari]

How can us who live in Europe, import those white Dual Shock 3 controllers?

 

[jett]

What about the alleged "improved", "stereo" rumble that 1UP talked about?

 

[Ken Masters]

looks really good, but I will just wait until the spring release

 

[Kittonwy]

Ima so sorny for teh dual-shock 3 it's teh true-true.

That was my main complaint about the sixaxis, aside from lack of rumble.

Eh.. I do know the Internet is the solution, I have imported tons of times before Sony put their mark. Any shops doing it?

that's where im getting mine from. shipping in 3 days.

 

[AstroLad]

Here's hoping. Looking forward to PES with a little weightier pad, as odd as it seems.

 

[Mmmkay]

:/ The only reason I want one is so that my controller doesn't sound like a creaky piece of shit...

Oh and the white design is so hot.

I swear if I twisted my sixaxis I could break it in half easily.

 

[Tiduz]

So, is Yesasia CC only? I used to use lik-sang with IBAN and did it with internet banking, worked good. It sucks not having a CC, and i cant get one either

edit: Guess not :/

Can I pay by direct deposit?
Yes, direct deposit is one of our payment options, but it is currently available only to Hong Kong customers with shipping addresses in Hong Kong.

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

the price used to be $65.00, but now is $80.00
wow.

 

[Diablos]

Sorny Dual Shock?

Is this like the new Vii or something?

 

[SOLDIER]

I'd like to import this too, but I'm not shelling out $80 for a controller. Is this the only place online to buy this? Or might they be selling it in chain stores like Gamestop?

 

[andrewjnyc]

I feel like such a bourgeois pig for spending a wad of cash on an import, but the lack of weight in the Sixaxis has been driving me nuts since Day One. Having a $5 off coupon from Play Asia relieved some of the shame, but not all.

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

if you want it now you gonna need to pay $80.00. or wait six month for SCEA to release it in US.

homer simpson once said sorny playstation because of a faked one or something like that in an episode

Yeah, I need two more controllers for 4p PES and it would be even more of waste to get a new sixaxis at this point. Import premiums can be a bitch, what can you say?

 

[Dante]

God I hope Yes Asia come through for me before Uncharted hits.

 

[kaizoku]

just ordered a white one. black looks better though imo, doubt it will be much cheaper when its released in the west

 

[AstroLad]

You guys do know Yes-Asia isn't guaranteeing anything right?

we would like to inform you that the manufacturer, Sony, has confirmed that this product will not be available in sufficient quantities on its release date due to high market demand. Further quantities will be produced daily after the release date, and we will fulfill outstanding orders as we receive stock. However, we cannot anticipate how long this will take, and currently hope to fulfill all orders by the end of December 2007.

 

[marwan]

i wish the white one had white buttons!

 

[rollingstart]

I am going to wait and hold out until NCSX decides to import the white ones, I am not going to pay $80 just for a controller with rumble and NCSX doesnt seem to be stocking them because of the bogus things they need to do to get the controllers in the first place so they wont jack up the price if they do get them.

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

actually if i were to buy a controller, i would personally pick black color.
not because i am racist. but for this reason: white controller will most likely turn *yellow once you start using it a lot, it is a fact that we all have grease hands.

 

[kaizoku]

no place is guaranteed, yesasia just cover their ass better.

ebay will be the only place you can kinda be sure, but thats even more of a premium. i can wait, its only rumble!

 

[AstroLad]

I'm pretty sure whoever got in on Play-Asia is getting their controllers Day One. The reason I mention Yes-Asia is that they are one of the few places still taking pre-orders and it's clear that they are way over-ordered. And frankly I doubt anyone who didn't get in early will get it near release.

 

[SolidSnakex]

What about the alleged "improved", "stereo" rumble that 1UP talked about?

It won't really matter if it is different if developers don't take advantage of it. The only game at TGS that people said they felt a difference with was MGS4.

 

[SaggyMonkey]

Are the L2 and R2 triggers any better on the DS3? I'd like them better if they had a harder stop, they feel pretty mushy currently.

 

[InterMoniker]

http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-games/pid-1005069416/

Jesus! $80 is a lot for a controller, especially when the sixaxis's are like $39 now.

I know it won't cost this much when it comes out here. I guess thats the price you pay to import.

 

[Zombie James]

It won't really matter if it is different if developers don't take advantage of it. The only game at TGS that people said they felt a difference with was MGS4.

Yup. If the game wasn't developed with rumble in mind from the start, it's pretty much tacked-on.

Did you get my email? That controller looks fantastic!


Does anyone know if there's support for the DS3 pad on PC like the sixaxis PC patch?
