I still can't see why they had to be released now and not at the same time as Japan.

^ holy hell! That's crazy. I won't be buying one of these when they come out unless I can get one cheap. Screw paying $55-60 for a controller...that's ridiculous.

I read a piece (I think on GamePro) which said they were 40% heavier. Also, the plastic on the DS3 is opaque rather than translucent.

Finally, don't care about the price. I'm usually able to get things cheaper (legally) anyway.

I've been using my DS3 for about 3 months now and going from the Sixaxis to the DS3 was Fantastic. Better feel, more weight and having rumble back just felt right. I wish someone would post up a new list of games that are compatable with the DS3, the list I have is from October 07' and want some more rumble games but don't know which ones support it. Call of Duty 4 should have had it, period, but at least Resistance has it now.

yes! i was really surprised! because the text on the controller was japanese and not german or french. i think they imported those from somewhere. i bought mine on ebay 1 month ago for a price of 70 SFR or something around that. And the dualshock 3 in the media markt was about 80 SFR or so. Next time i make a picuture of it. Are you from Switzerland too?
