Dualshock 3 in Canada!
TheExit | 5:15 PM on 02.04.2008 7 comments




My Dualshock 3 controller I got off Ebay came today from Hong Kong! HELLS YEAH!
Complete
with Japanese packaging and everything. I'm so stolked!

No instructions (that I could read anyway), or USB cable, just the controller. Pulled it out,
plugged it in with my USB cable that came with the system, and it started
to charge and was recognized. My system is fully updated too.

Let me start by saying the controller feels way better then the regular Sixaxxis controller.
Its
heavier and just really feels better. Popped in God of War to see if the rumble would
actually
work, and did it ever! Worked with all the PS2 games I tried and PS1. So now it was the
PS3 test. Threw in Uncharted, and rumble! It was awesome! Same with Resistance. As
stupid
as it sounds, force feedback is awesome. I personally think it adds to the games. I like my
PS3 even better.

Not sure what games it doesn't work with, I've heard a few haven't been updated here yet,
but they probably are by now as that was a few months ago.
So $70 CDN later, I'm lovin' the controller, and rumble with all my games. I recommend
getting it, and not waiting until spring.

UPDATE: Works on now with Turok and Devil May Cry 4 Demos and assuming both full
games!

I don't think it sounds stupid at all. Force feedback DOES enhance the experience, I don't care what anyone says.

That blog title was such a tease. I was hoping it had actually started to make its way to North American retail outlets.

sony was retarded for removing it in the first place.

force feedback help bring the player into the game. I dont think it matches riding in an actual car or helicopter but hell it at least tries

 about me

I'm a Mac fanboy. Xbox 360 is my system, along with Gamecube for Anything Zelda. Graphic Design Graduate. Fav games are Gears of War, Forza 2, Bioshock, EA's Skate when it comes out. I skateboard, play guitar, interested in photography, and film.

Its kind of ironic that I loath Windows computers but have a 360.
