I know there must be a few threads about this but I cant seem to put together the right keywords for what I am looking for.

I plan on buying a PS3 soon but I want to wait until I can buy the PS3 system with the Dual Shock 3 controller included. Is there a confirmed date on when the systems will include the dual shock 3 controllers? Thanks

Last I heard it was "after Christmas".

According to the reliable source at SONY Booth GDC08 I was informed that the new Controller/System might see the light of day before SEPTEMBER of this year. Let see how that hold up...

The only official word for the dualshock 3's by SCEA is "spring". We were hoping that there would be more updated info at GDC, but that didn't prove to be the case.

What I can tell you is that the controller in almost all certainty, will be out by mid April (release of GT5 prologue). Hopefully, the new 120gb/160 sku is released by then as well.

Don't get your hopes up, I was wishing too...

402 at the IW forums says this...

"At this point we have no plans to add in rumble support for the new DUAL SHOCK 3 controller. Although it would be awesome to have the full rumble the game was designed to have, just don't think we'd be able to do it at this point."

As long as the DS3 is available before the release of MGS4 I'm happy.

I figured it'd be around $55-60 so I bought a white one from playasia for a little over $60 shipped in December. It's great, it has a nice weight to it.
