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.

I remember my red PS1 control pad. Y'know, the one without before the one with analog sticks, which was before the dualshock. Thing was so light in your hands. If I had a PS3, I would definitely by the red one instead of a black one for my second controller. Hell, I'd pick up the blue one as well.

Wtf are you talking about, WINterfang, the red 360 controller is damned sexy. Honestly, the blue 360 controller also looks sexier than the blue PS3 one.
Of course, I barely turn on my 360 compared to my PS3, so I'll happily buy that red one and keep my Dragon 360 pad:

the reason red doesn't work for 360 is because they already get enough red from the RROD

That blue controller is a thing of beauty. If only there was a 360 controller in that shade.

I would pick the red one, but these colours make the controllers look cheap and the black one is Soooooo fashionable and in. lol

I think the different colored 360 controllers look stupid. Maybe it's because the buttons are multi-colored, idk.
All I know is that these are sexy

I wish they had a piano black controller like the new-ish PSP 3000 and the PS3 itself. I don't really like the matte black color they have now.

Is it just me or is the only thing that has ever changed with these controllers in 15 years is the color?
Posted: Jul 29th 2009 12:08AM Saria the Cat said
Even that hasn't changed. :)
Why fix what ain't broke, I guess...

judging by the color of the ps3 controller on my laptop screen and the real color of my red 360 right next to it, the 2 reds are pretty close. The ps3 red actually looks brighter, maybe there's a little more orange/yellow in the ps3 one.

Honestly, I don't really like these. Need to be much darker. I really like the white ones though (any news on them comming to the UK?), but not the silver ones. I think it has something to do with contrast, either with the buttons, sticks etc (like on the white one) or with the world in general (like both the white and black ones)

At first I thought 'that blue reminds me of the soap', then I remembered the first multi-color controller I got was a blue n64 controller, and now I want one :3

What about the Philippines? >_> We have those colors too (Save the yellow in our flag)
That aside though, those colors look a bit too...tacky? I dunno, something seems off. I guess I just have to see it in person.

I would actually like to have those, both of them.
But since I don't need them, there's no reason to fork over the cash.

Psh, the blue on my 360 controller is soooooo much more blue-r than the PS3 one! It's like, super blue, and the PS3 one is like, only blue.
(And of course I will get downvoted by fanboys since no one seems to understand sarcasm around here).

i got the green halo xbox (not 360), it's see through and came with matching controllers. personally i don't think a 360 that was the same color as the game boxes would look good.
Posted: Jul 29th 2009 12:21AM jhowlett said
i want an all blacked out controller. i know the buttons by heart and the printing could be a glossy black along with the analogs, d pad, and shoulder buttons.

I wonder if there is an "early adoption fee" for these controllers for the privledge of having colours :) But I jest of course, it's cool that colours are coming. Took long enough.

Hmm, it seems you have forgotten a very important flag there, Joystiq.
Because, as we all know, the flag of the Netherlands has been around since 1572, making it the oldest tricolor flag and the first red-white-blue flag ever.
