Anyone know where I can order the new Dual Shock PS3 controller and import to Canada? I tried Play-Asia but they are out of stock.

Any suggestions?

I ordered one from www.e bay . com

just search Dual Shock 3

play-asia.com (http://play-asia.com) or yesasia.com (http://yesasia.com) have them also.

Anyone know when ps2 rumble will be enabled? I will buy one then.

It already works for PS2 dualshock, confirmed by kotaku.

mine should be here tomorrow from japanvideogames.com (they are also on e bay)

Thanks for the info. Going to get it from yes as...

Don't mind e b. .. but the shipping costs are just too high.

Thanks again,

When you say it already works for PS2 dualshock, do you mean:

a) PS2 games rumble with the Dualshock 3 when played on the PS3

or

b) PS2 Dualshock will rumble with PS2 games and PS3 games on the PS3 (ran through an adapter)


So I guess I am more interested in Scenario b. If I have an older PS2 dualshock can I get rumble from PS3 games when connected to the PS3 via an adapter?
:confused:

Both of the articles that I read stated that the DS3 will now rumble for PS2 and PS1 games.

Will the White PS3 work with US games?
Does it just plugg into US electrical sockets for power? OR do I need a convertor?

I got mine from Japan Video Games. (http://www.japanvideogames.com/) They are about 10 minutes from my house so I picked it up myself, but they ship it to where ever I believe. Any one in So.Cali may want to look them up if they ever want to buy imported gaming related items. The store is pretty well stocked with stuff and they had plenty of DS3s left when I got mine yesterday.

And yes, I've personally tested it and the vibration works fine for PS1 and PS2 games.

Back in stock at Play Asia

It charges via USB so there's nothing to worry about as far as electricity goes.

Thats cool that you already got yours joeblow. I live pretty close to them. I haven't gotten a call yet.

My ceramic white Dualshock 3 has just shipped from Play-asia.com! Now the hard part, waiting for it to arrive.

No need to wait (I didn't). Just go down there and pick it up.

OceanAve: Yes, there is no lockout of games between the US and Japan since they are now in the same region according to Sony's worldwide region divisions. The imported white PS3 should work fine with american games.

Just ordered mine from Japan Video Games.

Kinda pricey, but it will be nice to play R&C and Uncharted with rumble.

Japanvideogames.com is VERY reliable for this sort of thing.

so, if the pre-release imports are 75-ish, is there any clue as to what the domestic ones will cost when they're finally released?

Same price as they are now.

Very reliable ... The release date for the controllers was Nov. 11th ... I received mine Nov. 13th.

As you're asking a question that's not relevant to the topic, you may want to make a new topic next time.

But I'll answer you. Yes, the Japanese Ceramic White PS3 will play US games. Japanese PS3s can play US PS3 games. But keep in mind that there is still a region lock for DVDs, PS2, and PS1 games, meaning you won't be able to play US PS2/1 games and DVDs on the Japanese Ceramic White PS3.

yesasia sucks do not order from those fools.

its a pain to cancel an order and the idiots continued to take orders after they ran out of stock.

PLUS on the site they say that pre-orders would not be charged until the product ships. I put in a pre-order (I wanted to have a back up pre-order)with them a few weeks ago and they charged me instantly. I cancelled my pre-order and it took them a week to refund my credit card. I will stick to Play-Asia.com.

I'll throw in another good word for JapanVideoGames.com

Ordered the DS3 on Monday, 12 November and it shipped Tuesday.

$75 plus shipping is a little steep, but again its an import and seeing how its not due in the States until next Spring, it makes sense. Gotta love free market capitalism.

i also ordered 1 white and 1 black from japanvideogames. ordered last Thursday, released and shipped Monday, played with the DS3 last night.

No need to wait (I didn't). Just go down there and pick it up.

Thanks JB again. Picked up 2 controllers yesterday from Japan Video Games fro my 80 gig.

[QUOTE=Tigerriot;12216197]It's already been confirmed that the following games support rumble right now.


Resistance
Motorstorm
Assassin's Creed
Ratchet and Clank
Uncharted


COD4 has already been confirmed to not have rumble, but the development team has said they could add it later with a patch. I think people need to send them emails and beg they add it to the game.


MY DS3 Games:

Resistance
MotorStorm
Assassin's Creed
Ratchet & Clank

[Formula 1: CE?]
[Dirt (heard there was an option in the game]

The one I want it to work with the most is COD4.

:rolleyes: :o
