WTF!?!?!?!?!

Not only that, this controller uses a USB port. Slight correction. They did NOT recently reveal this controller. It was revealed two months ago! It went on sale three weeks ago.

"Not only that, this controller uses a USB port" Do you mean that it uses an RF instead of Bluetooth?

WTF!?!?!?!?!

Yes, it uses an RF dongle in a USB port. I didn't mean to imply the controller was corded.

$55

Actually, the PS3 Rumble controller will retail for $55, and I'm sure you'll see it on sites like Amazon.com for $50 a pop. Take into consideration the fact that the price of the older Ps3 controllers will most likely drop down to around $30/$35, and third-party controllers like Nyko's won't mean much as things currently go. Until they start offering better hardware or more competitive prices, the first-party hardware is sure to win out.

PLay Asia

Just go to Play Asia and buy a real one. You can get them now, they even have white and silver. My silver shipped yesterday. It only comes to $66.70 with shipping thats only a buck or 2 more than this after taxes. And it's official Sony. Go here:http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-aifh-71-bm-49-en-84-k-40-extended.html It helps me if you follow that link. But just type in Play-asia.com if you want. Just get the real one this one's reviews aren't that great.

I can answer for him

No, he has no life. He uses that annoying topic in order to look up his posts to see if anyone disagrees. Then he has childish arguments with anyone who opposes his views. Since I've already proved him wrong numerous times, especially with the blu-ray HD-DVD format war, he's getting more desperate.

by Mister Common Sense - 2008-03-11 09:32:02
yep

The Dualshock 3 is great, I don't know why anyone would want this one, especially on the 40gb model with only 2 USB.

WTF!?!?!?!?!

Hehehe....it takes all kinds. I love keeping it around just to show how people FREAK OUT over caps and so forth. How can such few key strokes be so "annoying" to people. Hilarious. Anywho, I agree! I'm waiting for the official Sony controller. 1. I hate dongles and 2. Of all the reviews I read, many people didn't like how this controller felt in their hands.
