Dualshock 3 - Image 1Gamers in Europe, do you want rumble in your PlayStation 3 video games? Then you'll be getting your wish with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announcing the imminent release of Dualshock 3 in the aforementioned region!

According to a recent press release from the company, the controller will be released in Europe by July 4. It was also revealed that almost all future PS3 games will support the controller and it is already compatible with many existing titles such as Resistance: Fall of Man, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (assuming you have firmware 1.94 installed that is).

No word yet on how much the new SIXAXIS controller will cost but you can probably bet that it'll be worth every penny to the hardcore PlayStation 3 gamer.

Thanks to MrGrey for the hot tip!

 » rumble

i played ps2 yesterday after a long time, and yes the rumble felt really cool. buying a ds3 as soon as it comes out, no doubt.

 » DS3 are fantastic

I bought 2 of these from eBay and must say they really are fantastic - much better build quality that the standard sixaxis controllers and the rumble feedback just adds a whole new dimension to the games. I`m just at a loss as to why we have had to wait for them for so long in the UK and Europe.

Game have them for £35.99, Amazon have yet to put theirs up for sale - but going by the prices of third party traders on Amazon, I wouldn`t imagine Amazon would charge too much more

Quite a few current games use it, and its so much better than the past generation DS.
MGS4 uses rumble realy well and lots of PSN games have it too, (pixel junk monsters, tekken DR, Warhawk etc)

 » i got one

I got myself a white one imported from Hong Kong for a total of £37, I love it, theres only a little snag. NOT ALL THE GAMES SUPPORT IT! I was very disapointed to find out that cod4 did NOT support rumble, as thats the game i spend most my time on. Burnout Paradise, Assassins Creed, Battlefeild Bad Company, fifa 08, ect ect... All great titles to play with the ds3. I love the rumble, a definate must have
