Look, if for some crazy reason you've still not gotten yourself a DualShock 3 and, even crazier, haven't played through Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, then you might want to check out this Amazon bundle -- which is set to release December 15.
For $60, you'll get a black DualShock 3 controller and experience every earth-shaking explosion in Nathan Drake's first adventure through glorious rumble or -- given the time of year -- gift your procrastinator friend or loved one with one sweet bundle, granted they haven't already acquired a new console in the last year or a new PS3 Slim.
There's no word whether Sony will offer other bundles and together the two will only save you $7 right now (Amazon is pricing the game at $27 and the controller at $40), but we still wouldn't suggest playing Uncharted without a DualShock 3. What are you, some chump on the street not getting the fullest from your games? No, you hold yourself to a higher standard.
[Thanks, Yingerman!]

pretty lame deal, unless you're in need of a new controller and haven't played Uncharted.

as the writer implied, who doesn't already have Uncharted and a Dualshock?

I don't have Uncharted, and I only have a dualshock because the original controller crapped out on me during a boss fight in MGS 4 that required the motion sensors.

I played through a friend's copy of Uncharted, and my second DS3 got some water poured on it. Not a bad deal, considering normally a new controller costs $55.

What about rentals? Games sold doesn't = games played.

I believe Uncharted pushed slightly over 3 million, plus how ever many were bundled in last years bundle (like mine).

Last time I checked and for a long time, Motorstorm 1 was the highest selling title on the PS3 with 3+ million according to Wikipedia (yes, I know) even after Metal Gear Solid 4 was out for many months, which I expected would have sold a much more ridiculous amount. So, Joystiq, now I ask: what is the highest selling title on the PS3 as of now?

According to VGChartz, it's GTA IV with 5.98 million copies, followed by Modern Warfare with 4.78 million, and MGS 4 with 4.34.
Motorstorm clocks in at 8th with 3.5 million. Uncharted 1 has 2.75.
Here's the link for the complete list.

The fact that Sony has sold essentially the same controller since the 90's says a lot.
I mean, you can buy a Dual Shock 2 and it will STILL work with the PS1.

Nope, it says Sony got it right the first time, and there's no need to change.
Sorry. :)

I agree! Sixaxis controllers are amazing! That is, if you take into account the fact that the DualShock 3 IS a type of Sixaxis controller.

This offer is already on store shelves in Vancouver. There is also a Ratchet and Clank Future combo pack as well. Pretty decent controller and game combo.

I thought you were spamming for a second. Nice pic.
The DS3 is worth it, IMO.
And everyone should buy a set of these for their Sixaxis or DS3

I think they're selling those at wal-mart now, but passed. For the games that allow it, i just switch the R2&L2 for R1&L1 if they're designated as the shooting buttons. The only FPS that won't let me do it is FEAR1, which is a shitty ass port anyway, so it's not too much of a big deal.

Hmm...I could use a new Dual Shock. But trade in value on that copy of Uncharted wouldn't justify the extra cost.

freedom of speech once again thrown down :P and cmon fanboys i didnt say it was a bad game, i just believe that people obsessed over it too much. And im not talking about uncharted 2 btw, cuz i have not yet played it. I actually believe that uncharted 2 will be a game that deserves the hype, unlike its predecessor.

Actually... its NOT DualShock 3 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - It's DualShock 3 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Seems that its already on sale in Europe, so looks like Amazon is bringing that sale over to America. We'll find out for sure in about 2 weeks anyway.
