Rumor - Dualshock 3 available on May 2 in Europe - Image 1 


We're sure a lot of you are tired of reading about rumors, but sometimes rumors turn out to be right on target. Rumors that the 80 GB Sony PlayStation 3 will be phasing out, for instance, turned out to be spot on.

Now, there's no telling whether this latest rumor is true, but we can dream. Dutch website PlayStation Only has reported that the DualShock 3 controller will be arriving in Europe this May 2, a little over half a month after its release in the US.

PlayStation Only reports that the news of the release came from a "reliable source," although they don't offer any further information than that. We'll work hard to see if this is true or not of course, and we'll keep you posted, so check back for updates.

» Has anyone at QJ graduated highschool?

Or let alone, junior high? Because 17 days is closer to two weeks, than it is to "almost a month." Hell, even 3 weeks is closer to say! Is it too much to ask to brush up on your English, or common sense, even?

» wow...

i really don't see the big deal with the DS3. i've had mine for over a month and i gotta say, im not impressed. Plus my favorite games (COD4 & FIFA08) don't even support rumble. Hopefully when it formally comes out here in america we'll see patches left and right for such titles

» Mmm..

I live in the UK and got a DS3 imported from Japan, and, as good as it is, its nothing to get worked up about waiting for. like dtom2444 said, not all the best games support it yet. IMO the best thing about it is the extra weight over the sixaxis. it will be much more worth the money when the best games start supporting it.

My DS3 works with Pain. What else can you ask for!lol

It works on my PS2 games too. You got to remember, it's still early. I would definitely say it's worth the extra $5.

The 80gb PS3 was only removed for a period of time; it will return with the DualShock 3.
