Why? Isn't Dual Shock 3 the same just better?

[icestar2]

As far as I know its only in america for now we are still getting them. However we should be losing them soon and getting Dual Shock 3. Yes this is by far better and we may be getting them sooner than you think with MGS(june 12th) just around the corner. The rumour is May 2ND but nothin confirmed yet.

Is it heavier than the existing one? They are light

From what I have read it does weight more and feels alot better in your hand because of it.

STONEISLAND - We will still have SIXAXIS just with added rumble so thats gotta be a good thing right ?

You can import them from Japan and they still work here in the UK. Cost about £32 for a SIXAXIS Rumble pad with free shipping! :tu:

Play Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-2lau.html)

I like the way Sony are improving a lot of the PS3..

[Cerberus]

Things can and only will get better. A possible 80Gb version being released this summer, MGS4, GTA IV, SOCOM & GT5 Final next year. Things are looking up compared to a year ago.

[icestar2]

And Infamous if it ever releases. Another exclusive that looks great. Resident evil 5 this year to :) and Haze again if ever released another could be good exclusive.

I wouldnt be surprised if this is all going to plan for Sony tbh. They aint stupid.

The way 2.5" hdd's are heading I might put a larger one in mine sometime

Mines a 40gb with a 60gb drive in it (had the 60gb drive spare from a previous laptop upgrade so shoved it in the ps3)

Play Asia don't ship them to Europe however.

[punky]

It says they do: Play-Asia.com provides shipping to virtually any address in the world.

Also, why would they quote in GBP if they didn't?

Play Asia don't ship them to Europe however.

[icestar2]

I think they have been shocked into making a lot of changes tbh. I do like the look of the PS3 now. Especially when a SKU emerges with the dual shock 3 controllers, and the 80gig ps3 they have in the USA with the ps2 BC

PS res evil 5 is next year isn't it? I really want that game so so bad.

I think your right but am just wishing for a late release this year as a nice surprise from capcom. Well a guy can wish cant he lol.

I agree the game looks like its gonna be awesome. I have the trailer on my PS3 and cant help but watch it every now and then.

Erm.... :sulk:
