Okay.. i didnt really get this article to be honest.. so what are they saying, what price are we talkin here? Expensive or... I mean who cares, a DuelShock3 would be cool to have - but geez its only got rumble. I'll stick with my regular Sixaxis until i can get a cool white one in 6-8 months time. who cares.

Yes but Sony is well known and disliked for shutting down importers...so now they are trying to leverage them? Sure thing. Sony just release it in the US, EU, and Australia already - what a bunch of twits.

Im from the UK, and I've just bought my DuelShock3 off ebay from a guy in France who had 10 for sale. It cost me £10 extra than a Six-axis Contorller but that was a small price to pay, I'm wasn't prepared to wait several months for it to appear over here, I wanted it now. :) ....(Oh and not at all 'richkaos' my Six-axis Contoller had broke and I need a new one. I didnt really want to buy another Six-axis knowing the DuelShock 3 was going to be released in a few months)

well if people are desperate or daft enough to hand over loads of their cash just to get one of these controlers a few months before everyone else then good luck to them. Sad'os

There are lots of places to get the Dual shock 3 for good prices....... not all are rip offs... I ordered 2 of them, 1 white and 1 black......for very good prices.

I'm getting two Dualshock3 controllers...but not Imported one's...

Hmmm... Dual Shock 3 will come when it come. Patience. And by the way, I'm really interested in what you do for a living?

Well if you can afford a DS3 and do require a new controller or just another one then why not? theres nothing stopping someone, as long as its low quantity and OK by local customs.

i'm after a 2nd controller for multiplayer

Are you offering me a job?

Either you go to work with a mop or you're some kind of contract killer

yo i'm not trying to wait plus i have officially worn my controllers out. They are working but barely. I need that DUALSHOCK 3 joint yesterday!

Its a stupid article...PSU c'mon!

I'll just pick mine up from playasia then

Meh...i've got 2 sixaxis controllers...but lets face it...how many people still play multiplayer games on the same screen...I only play like that if my girlfriend wants to play a game with me...other than that all my mates play online...that way you get the whole screen to yourself...

i got a DUal Shock 3 from www.japanvideogames.com

Its costing me total $73 with shipping

 

Oh well i get it half a year earlier, and i love the rumble feature, but anyways

i told people about it, and those that waited are now facing a $10 price increase in the controller (i got it $59.99 and now its $69.99)

but hey, if you have the extra money, i say get it.

 

Also if you dont want to pay shipping, just walk into the store, they have a walk-in store in california

why didn't i think of that lol

Prolly get one begining of December instead of right when they're available.

What's the point of getting one when only 1 Game Works with it at the moment???????   Or iam wrong? Iam talking about the one game!!!

psn id: gingo.... i think i can wait till next spring to get one of these while rumble is cool and all i havn't really missed that much except in heavenly sword so i think i can wait to get it at a normal price

I agree that it's silly to pay a high premium for something like this.  On the other hand, according to some of the posters here you can get one for $10-$15 mark up then what the heck? 

well i i am imported my controller i payed 68 dollars after shipping and to me 20 bucks is not bad to get it 4 months early so i dont mind but what kind of prices is this article talking about?  

dam, i really wanted to import one. with all these games supporting rumble already i cant resist.

haha what a load of bull. Just wait till it comes out here.

drunk drunk i am so no comment
