Having the choice between both controllers is a good idea, not everybody want's rumble especially when the sixaxis is cheaper!

£40 dont think so, everyone in the uk £22 ebay, £8 shipping. U can pre order resistance 2 from gameplay.com 4 £10 less than the price of a dualshock controller, retailers can shove it where the sun dont shine imo

£40 is pretty steep considering we could buy a game for that price and alot of other people seem to think so aswell. I'm not going to buy a new controller for rumble at that price when my current controller is fine.

What I want to know is when they will announce the phasing out of Sixaxis controllers in the near future.

@uncool i really can't see them phasing out sixaxis considering everyone person with a ps3 has at least 1. because theres game which it plays an important part in like socom confrotnation where you need to tilt  back controller when leaning against wall to lean abck and free up your weapon to be able to shoot. really sixaxis wasnt a bad idea it just needed to be implemented ebtter in games.

@ bloodwarg

 

AFAIK the DS3 has full tilt functionality as well, so phasing out the "one with tilt and no shock" for the "one with tilt and shock" is a logical move.

 

Though I do _NOT_ want a DS3.  I love how light weight my Sixaxis is, and I know the DS3 is going to be a lot heavier.  When they decide to phase out Sixaxis I will have to stock up on a couple.

psn id: gingo... got it today and am very happy but the price is very steep, £40 ($80) for a controller is quite frankly ridiculous but i suppose they can charge whatever they want for this so called high demand

People complain about the pricing of controllers.  How often do you buy controllers?  Usually they last the whole life of the system when you buy them. I for one would spend the little extra money on a DS3 as opposed to regular SixAxis.
