Finally: DualShock 3 Hitting Europe July 4th
After a long long wait, European PS3 owners have something to look forward to: The DualShock 3 is hitting Europe! July 4th, the rumble-enabled SIXAXIS will be hitting the Europe with a RRP of a whopping £39.99 in the UK. I wouldnt be surprised to see a few retailers offering discounts as this is a huge price for a controller.
June 27, 2008: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller will be available for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) in Europe on July 4, 2008. The eagerly awaited wireless controller with vibration function will put truly responsive gaming power into players’ hands, shaking up gaming experiences when it arrives on PS3 this summer.
It’s not what you see – it’s what you feel that makes DUALSHOCK 3 the first choice for all gamers. More than 28 million DUALSHOCK controllers have been sold since the first DUALSHOCK release for PlayStation® in 1998. Now DUALSHOCK 3 puts some serious power into existing and future PS3 titles, with its vibration function offering even more interactive play between gamers and the many games – past, present and future – which support the vibration functionality. DUALSHOCK 3 also retains the high-precision, high-response motion-sensitive aspects that have made SIXAXIS so popular.

the price is kinda fare, cause this is the price for the regular SIXAXIS I buy in my country, that is saudi arabia of course.
it costs me around 65$ for a PS3 SIXAXIS.
anyway, the vibration wouldn’t affect the way of play mutch, what we need is a vibrating vest to feel the rush or a bulit hitting or a racing car, maybe feel a bomb exploding…. we need to get in the action and feel the game, not a shaky pad.

I’m from the UK and I have imported mine from yes-asia for £30 (for MGS4 :P)
No delivery charge, no VAT.
£30, delivered in like a week.
So forget paying $£40 guys, just import it, it works perfectly.
