Cool,i hope it releases in January.Please let it be January.

Im happy to hear we are getting it back. My question is, will it support PS2 games for when we want to play our old games in HD on PS3? Either way I will be sure to pick up a couple of them. More then likey Game Stop will swarm all over this. "Trade in your old PS3 controlers + $15 for a Dualshock3"

Already have one. It's worth Importing, it's not that much and it makes playing Uncharted and R:FOM so much better.

If it is released in Janjuary I will be sure to get one. I need to buy another controller anyway.

Well, I guess it worth the waiting adter all. Hope for Amazon to add it soon just to pre-order one ASAP

the sooner it comes out, the better, can't wait to feel the vibrations whilst playing resitance fom

@ Xdeth, yes PS2 games do rumble with the Dualshock3 controller.  And it does make Uncharted a whole lot better.

Good deal there.....wait....didn't we know about this once it was first announced!?   Let us have some "new" news dudes, seriously, I was at least hoping there was going to be a street date listed once I saw this - but then I just figured it was PSU trying to hit us with more late news.  Thanks?

When is it out in Europe I wan tto know :(

why do these yanks always get stuff first?? we all know europeans are the real gamers. release it in europe too u dikeds!

By "why do these yanks always get stuff first??," do you mean "why do these yanks always get stuff first, after Japan??"? Most of the places in the world call that second ;)

yeah blachaze - we have to wait for it to make its rounds in Japan before we get it - and dude, we have more gamers over here so we get some notification for dat! lol

@Gordlacey lol. Yahoo can't wait to get one of these although it might mean ye old SIXAXIS gets neglected.... oh well

i already got mine the first week release in japan :) and boy do i love it and its white and yes you can use it on your ps2 and ps1 games :) and it does have a good battery life and i think the battery life is a little better than the sixaxis.

I'm definitely psyched for the dual shock 3! it's just a shame that i'll have two controllers that dont vibrate once the dual shock 3 becomes standard.

psn id: gingo... hopefully this means europe wont have long to wait after it heres to a jan/feb release

I have one and they need to hurry up and add the functionality to CoD4. Resistance has it and Cod4 doesn't WTF?  I imported the first one and will wait till it gets here for the second. keepin my 2 sixaxis for company lol

So it would be awesome if sony offered a trade in promotion where you could trade in a sixaxis controller plus like 15$ for a Dualshock 3.....

My co-worker is going to Japan for the Christmas and I am sending for two white DS3 controllers....heck, I might send for four and sell off two to three of them and make a killing. Here in the Bahamas games and accessories tend to go for double the USA price and the dollar value is the same here as in the US.

do you think Call of Duty will have vibrational functionality as well?

it will eventually, read it somewhere, it's coming in an update.

Old news, we knew we were getting it in '08 already,

Hopefully it comes soon along with the PS Store prepaid cards.

What about the other countries????

Awesome, it's just that I don't want to pay 59 dollars for another controller when I just bought 2 perfectly fine Sixaxis's. But still, I might buy one of these some where down the line.

hmm how much are these going to be though
