Jan 2008
The new DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller for PS3 inherits the basic design and functionality of the popular PlayStation controller, while keeping the high-precision, high response motion sensitive six-axis sensing system.
The added rumble feature, combined with the highly realistic motion sensitive sixaxis sensing system, takes gamers deeper into the world of interactivity, delivering a more intuitive, realistic and immersive game play experience. PS3 titles that are already in the market can become compatible with the rumble feature through software update.
With DUALSHOCK 3 and the attractive lineup of PS3 titles incorporating the rumble feature, Sony will introduce more new ways of enjoyment that can only be found on PS3, and will further redefine the world of entertainment.

Good, but not worth the money
2 August, 2008
I've used one that a friend imported, and whilst it's heavier to hold, it's not all it's cracked up to be in terms of rumble.
The increased weight is good, as it feels more substantial in your hands.
The rumble however leaves a lot to be desired. It's barely noticeable on most games, it's nowhere near as powerful as that of the DS & DS2 controllers.
It's also outclassed by the rumble on the 360 controller, which is a further shame as games such as Dirt, Grid and many others just don't feel the same without true vibration.
All in all i'd say it's a 6/10, whilst it's better than nothing, it''s firstly, not worth the price, and second, it's not outstanding and adds little to most games.
If you're going to buy one get a cheap import, or look elsewhere for a lower price one.

Duelshock 3
23 July, 2008
Well at last the uk gets the new duelshock 3 from sony and it has taken some time to get here (unless you got yours on import) i guess for most people who will buy this will want the rumble to work but be aware that your firmware must be at least 1.92 and up the lastest being 2.41 if your ps 3 in not connected to the net then there will be problems as some old games must have a patch for the rumble to work i have tested gtavi and uncharted drake and rachet and clank and for sure the pad does rumble :) in gta when lightening strikes or when you fire certain guns you can even set it to your phone as Dream would have said things can only get better......
