Yes, you read that correctly. We've just received word from Sony that the long-awaited European release of the DualShock 3 is coming soon. We'll have our hands clasped around the buzzing wonders from Friday the 4th of July and they will cost £39.99

[UPDATE] To clarify: DualShock 3s will be made available on the 2nd of July on the Continent and on the 4th of July in the UK.

I imported mine, I’m sure it was about £10 cheaper as well!!!
Must admit disappointed with the little tiny rumble.

I think the price is far to high if you ask me but then again so is everything else here so I guess they dont see it like that.

I think your probably right m8, Having looked around its actually cheaper to import it than buy it in shop's here. Is the rumble really poor ? if so I may give it a miss. I was gonna get one soon but by the sounds of it its not worth it I guess ?

I imported mine from YesAsia for £30.01.

I think the rumble is fine - maybe not as intense as the DS2, but certainly more than adequate. As has been said, they've probably toned it down to preserve battery life.

I never really missed rumble, though, and the only reason I bothered importing a DS3 was for GT5P when it was released. There's so much feedback through rumble in GT games that it's a must-have. Oh, and I did use it for MGS4. Other games, I can happily do without it, and still use my SIXAXIS more often than not.

I imported mine for about £30.

Typical rip off Britain again!

I find the rumble OK it works really well in MGS4
