DUALSHOCK 3 Impressions

Well, I've finally gotten my DUALSHOCK 3. I've got to say, upon picking up this controller, you can certainly feel the difference. Comparing it with my SIXAXIS makes the SIXAXIS feel like a cheap plastic toy. The DUALSHOCK 3 features more weight due to the rumble component inside the controller, and it definitely feels the way a controller should.

I tested the new/old rumble feature with three SCEA games. Since I just bought the Omega Dawn and Broken Mirror booster packs, so I thought Warhawk, along with Resistance: Fall of Man and Motorstorm would be my games. I'm telling you, I was definitely shocked when the controller first rumbled. It's a feeling we haven't felt on our controllers in so long, but it felt good. I got smashed in Warhawk, and it rumbled, and my hands loved it.

Let me just sum this up. We can't really go in-depth when we are talking about a controller that features rumble and a new (right) weight. The only thing we can say is put down those SUXASSES and go pick up a DUALSHOCK 3. You'll like the way your hands feel.

I'm getting my DS3 sometime next week, I'm imporing it from Japan to Sweden since it's way cheaper. Man, I really can't wait to go GTA IV with a Dualshock 3 in my hands :D Five days off from school too, I just can't wait :D

Try it with UT3....its pretty ridiculous. Nonstop rumbling since the game is so faced paced.

I so want to buy a DS3 but am not going to. I already own two sixaxis controllers and I do not play with four people so as much I I will miss rumble I am not going to waste money on it. I wish though that Sony could make an add on that uses the USB port so people with the SA would not have to waste money on a new controller when there old one works fine.

Anyone know how a person in the US would go about getting that Satin silver one??

Its not wasting money because youll use that controller the most :)

As for the satin one, not sure. Supposedly they will be in stores but I havent seen one yet.

I plan on picking up one next week also along with (maybe) a copy of GT5 Prologue.

The satin version sounds nice but I did the non-matching controller with the PSOne and PS2 and frankly I felt very disconnected from the system by using a different colored controller.

Color me anal but I just like stuff to match.
