Dualshock 3 Pre-order $50 shipped at Amazon

[quote name='Serpentor']wait a sec... am i missing something here? the only deal is that you're paying $5-$10 less b/c you're not buying an import. The pre-order is set at $50, which is the retail price of the controller no? If not, i don't see $5 off from $55 on Amazon. If it's $5 off, then it should be $45. Sorry, no bite for me... main reason, no ceramic white color. I rather pay $5 more to have it in white.[/quote]

btw wtf is with everyone wanting the white? only if u have a imported ps3 thats white it does not match the ps3.

and its more like $10 off if u add tax
 
I ordered a white one, and my main reasoning was that I can quickly tell it apart from the other controllers that way. It's quicker than picking them up and feeling for the heavier one.
 
I have to admit I don't get the excitement over the white and silver controllers either -- I'm definitely a fan of the classic black, and it's nice to have a controller that matches my PS3 (as opposed to matching my Xbox 360!)

I like having each controller be a different color. I really want a silver with rumble but not until it's under 50 shipped.

I have all the 360 solid color controllers except the halo edition 360 green pack-in (my wife loves her pink one), I do have people over to play socially and it solves the which one is my controller thing.

It's also good for tracking which one has the best charge.

Reminder: everyone check the buy.com with GCO price thing.

ya the gco pricing thing is a few buck cheaper but they add tax for my purchases for some reason.

and to top it off ive done google checkout already so its a one time thing. and the silver color is really the naltogic one. the orignal ds was white. but rlly i always thought it was fruity to get all the different colors of the rainbow for ur controllers.

brings back the old days when the ds1 came in see through blue, green, red lolzz
 
[quote name='NamPaehc'] I usually don't buy more then one controller, but maybe this'll help get my friends to join in more often.[/QUOTE]

Well yes, since it would be impossible for them to participate in multiplayer with you and only one controller.
 
[quote name='gobz']I'd much rather have a wireless controller with a built in fan for my sweaty palms :p[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I second that emotion! Nobody currently offers a wireless controller with a fan. I guess the fan is too much of a powerdrain. Was a big fan (pardon the pun) of the old Airflo controllers from Nyko. Haven't tried the Logitech Chillstream ones, though.
 
[quote name='iNCREDiPiNOY']Finally! My order changed the estimate shipping date earlier to April 8! Its about time!!![/quote]

Mine is still "

Shipping estimate: April 21, 2008"
 
Just got a shipping confirmation for my preorder of the DS3. Nice that it is coming early now (was estimated around the 15th).
 
My credit card was auth'd for the $49.99 and the status has changed to shipping soon. Looks like I'll have it shortly, like everyone else.
 
I totally forgot I had ordered this (I thought I had subsequently canceled)... apparently my copy will be here Friday via Amazon Prime.... :/


Oh well, guess I'm upgrading to a DS3 :)
 
Hmm... right now I"m actually pretty happy w/ the Siaxis or however you spell it.

But then again I plan to get at least one more controller so might as well make it a dual shock 3...
 
Rumble has never been important to me... I play my 360 with the rumble shut off cause the battery lasts longer, and i enjoy not having to shut it off on the PS3.

Just my opinion though.
 
yayz, i thought they were gonna delay it or something because it said yesterday april 21.

today i check it to se they finally have shipped it. kick ass i should have it tommorow or monday
 
[quote name='FrankieFiero']I just checked my email - and waddya know - it shipped !!!
May be just a delay in getting the notice out or something.[/quote]

Hmm, I checked mine and nothing. Their site did change though:

Guess that is better then the 21st which it was before, so I'll just keep an eye on it and hope for the best.

Received DS3 today, charging now.

DOES anyone know if it is better to charge the controllers with the cord that comes with the PS3 or with a wall adapter for like a Blackberry?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter... 5V is 5V.
 
Went to CC, BB, and Target, no go.
Finally found it at Gamespot.

$54.99 + tax.
I missed out on the Amazon deal but at least I have it in my hands today.
