White Dual Shock 3 Options?

Hey there fellow CAGs, I've been looking out for a White DualShock3, and the only place I've seen them is play-asia.com for $66.65CAD...has anyone seen them cheaper anywhere else? Thanks!

You can always try hunting down a $10 off $50 USD Coupon for Play-Asia.
There's also:
Japanvideogames.com (http://www.japanvideogames.com/Sony-Playstation-3-PS3-Dual-Shock-3-Ceramic-White-p/ps3-ds3white.htm) - $49.99 USD
Videogamesplus.ca (http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?cPath=486_488&products_id=13600) - $59.99 CAD

I'd sell you one for $50 shipped (used/like new), if my deal with someone else falls through.

hmm VGP is actually not tooo far away from where I live, might be worth swinging by and checking out this weekend, thanks!

Ooooh, I've been looking for a local place to pick up one of these. Hadn't heard about VGP. Might make a trip out to their North York location tomorrow as it's not too far from me. Thanks everyone!

hey DMPugh, leave a comment about the quality of the VGP store! I'm quite curious to know how it is before I get there!

Just got back from picking up my sexy, white Dual Shock 3. Not a bad little store, actually. They have (I believe) Samsung LCD tvs set up around the store for every system they have setup, which I believe was 360, PS3, Wii, and I think a PSP? Had some great old stuff too. I was strongly considering picking up a complete copy of Cyber-Core for TG16 they had in there. LOVED that game back in the day! And the guy working there was very friendly too. If it wasn't kind of out of the way, I'd shop there frequently.

Here's the problem: as he rang it up he told me that I'm lucky I called to have it set aside, as this was his last one he had in stock. I asked him how frequently he gets them, and he said very frequently, so hopefully he'll be getting some in for the weekend? Better call ahead before you go just to make sure. If he doesn't have any in stock when you go, I am VERY sorry man!

Haven't tried it out yet (I'm charging it at the moment) but all the buttons feel just as responsive as my black Dual Shock 3. So far I'm very satisfied.

Sweet, thanks for the assessment! Really though, I'm now considering a PS3 controller as close to an Xbox 360 as possible (save the Ben Heck mod some of us have seen). I find myself wanting to buy Xbox games over the PS3 equivalent purely for the superior 360 controller.
