Where do you guys find these websites. No amount of googling finds them for me.
I must be rubbish and googling!

I'd be more than happy to pass the info onto you.
But to be fair, I think Inoshishi or msmalls74 should have first dibs on passing the info on to you.
It's only fair as they passed it on to me.
Over to you lads

Since when have you been back dude!!!
Nice to see you!
Josh
Thanks man
Been back a few days, after over a year gone.
I always thought the shoulder buttons felt really cheap and nasty, disturbing to hear that they haven't been changed

check trust mate, Think it will still be cheaper than the official price in the UK when they come out. Not sure if its as heavy as the 360 pad, but it feels like its built better and does seem to be an improvement. Its also a must for uncharted lol.
Oh dear lol, I've got uncharted on order but no DS3 until after xmas.
Perhaps it's time I had a seperate credit card from the mrs lol.

can someone send me the info also please.
I see an ideal oppotunity for an import business.
You'd better offer a 50/50 deal with Inoshishi though lol.
For those people complaining about the erganomics of the Sixaxis, but wanting a DS3, don't forget, that part of them is exactly the same.
When mine arrived, before I tried it, I had a good look at it, to check that it was actually a DS3, and not another Sixaxis
(It does say Dualshock 3 by the USB port though)
They don't come with a USB cable either. I don't know why, but I was expecting one.
When you come to use it though they do feel a bit different.
My triggers are, I don't know if spongy is the right word, but definitely more accurate when playing a driving game.
The PS button is different on mine, when you push it in, it goes below the level of the plastic on the controller, whereas my Sixaxis one doesn't.
I think the X, square buttons are more sensitive too.
The first game I played with mine was Uncharted, and I was just starting the Jetski level. While I was driving it around, I was thinking that it wasn't very fast. Then I pushed harder on the X, and went faster. It's a lot easier to vary your speed now with the "analogue X" button. Whereas on the old one, you could vary your speed, but generally pressing it = all the way in, this time, a "normal" press, was enough for about half throttle.
The sticks, as mentioned, are a lot more precise too, which took me a little while to get used to
And of course, it has rumble!
I'm totally glad I got mine. Even better is a surprising number of older games have been updated to use the rumble, including launch titles like R:FOM and Motorstorm!
So, just remember, the ergonomics are just the same, but, just about every other part of it is better.
Enjoy!

EDIT: and just for the record, I just loaded up F1:CE for the first time in a while. That updated, and added rumble too. I have to say, especially considering I haven't played it for a while, I did really well. With the new joysticks, I was easing it into corners with, erm, ease! Now, some of this could be down to a fix in the update that downloaded, but I'd say it's probably the new improved DS3. As I mentioned, it does now rumble as well, though I'm less interested in that part.

Just to add matey, the quality of plastic is way better on the DS3 too, on the Sixaxis you can actually see through it if you hold it up to the light, and sometimes it feels like its breaking in your hand, the DS3 on the other hand feels a lot more solid and is pretty much a perfect pad in my eyes, obviously some will not agree with that but you can't please everyone.
Mine would read SOME discs, but it wouldn't read some in equal measure, it was locking up too.
I can think of at least one other person who's had that issue. Apparently failed BR drives is the main problem of returns, but even still, it's a minimal amount.
