With the white DualShock 3 already available, it's time to show true American patriotism with the purchase (consumerism!) of the red and blue DualShock 3s being released this October. The same show of pride also applies to the French, British, and Russians. Just want two controllers? Well, that's fine if you're Canadian or Argentinian. Either way, our point is the same: controllers are all about displaying national pride, people.

Chris isn't a moron, you're just being a bit of a jerk. I always like seeing stuff like this in extra colors and think these look cool. Usually when I buy extra controllers it's right after launch and they don't have the other colors out at those times. Sticking point for me on stuff like this, however, is I don't understand why Nintendo won't do black Wii systems here in the US. Seems like easy money...

I agree, I would rather see a navy blue and dark red.
Maybe I'll get one of these for my fourth controller (two sixaxis and one dualshock 3), maybe I'll just get another black one. I do need a new main controller because the R2 button on my DS3 is wonky [lost its springyness (?)].

even more so now that i know that you ALREADY own 5 controllers... would be a hell of a lot cheaper if you just bought color shells and you wouldnt be limited to these two colors and they'd be a lot cheaper.

It'd be nice if console companies just started offering an online only selection of controllers. Some hundred colors custom made on order. The more they're ordered, the less the premium is over the standard controller. So the fuscia might cost 20 bucks more, but I bet the charcoal gray would only cost 5. It's not like the innards would have to be custom either, or even the molds, just the dye/plastic (however that works).

@DeepFriedSushi Considering the Sticks on the Sixaxis have damn near had it, so they tilt left or up....even without that the PS3 Supports 7 controllers anyways....I had 10 controllers for my PS2 when all was said and done.
as for putting those cheap ass plastic cases over the controller?? you can have that, thats like putting "Skin" or what I call stickers on a $500 piece of Entertainment equipment.....no thanks...rather have the real thing....if YOU want to take the cheap way out then go right on ahead...but I wont....

So true,
I think it has to do with the 360 having a brighter red.

Possibly but at the same time you must remember that we don't always get the same colors as consoles.

I sure hope so. That would look fantastic. Maybe they could release those colors and a price cut. I doubt that Sony would go for a price cut though. These controllers look great by the way.

I'd rather have a white one. I'll probably won't get either though because I have no friends. All I do is read Joystiq and game all day alone with strangers.

Careful, don't get too close to the friendless. They're almost as bad as daywalkers. Except they're significantly more vulnerable to wedgies.

Suits it better? You mean because the 360 controller is a different colour of red? Huh?

SONY ANNOUNCEMENT: "We are pleased to announce that this October, we will be releasing two new PS3 controllers, available in blue and red colors. We expect this to add to the already stylish PS3 console, with these controllers at a reasonable price of $120."
The next day, Sony Corp. goes bankrupt and is forced to pull itself out of the market. Jack Tretton undergoes a facial change of plastic surgery, and then works at McDonalds. People question the seemingly new person's mysterious past. The word "Sony" is shunned across the world, looked upon as a scar on the earth.
(And fanboys, that was a joke. I would never want that to happen to Sony. Take a deep breath.)

I would buy a pink one because I have a fiance and a little girl. Besides, I'm pretty sure all that a portion of all the pink stuff goes to funding breast cancer research.

You aren't some noob so I'm wondering why in the F*** you would put your blog URL in your handle. That link goes on the appropriate spot within your profile. No one gives a damn about your blog. No offense.

It's just a little side project some friends and I came up with and I put it up for the benefit of some of my friends on Joystiq. No need to be a douche...
