Is this confirmed DS3? All the pics i have seen show it as a sixaxis.

A SIXAXIS comes with the console.

But its advertising the DS3 and the console seperatly.

It looks so cool and shit when its silver, But i prefer to have black on black. Mixing and matching looks fake. But the price is hardcore. Its dropping down to when xbox was released. Sony are also idiots. They feel the need to drop the console price, but what about the games! I'm still paying off my ps3, and I'm growing bored of only having moterstorm, resistance, assassin's creed and burnout paradise! And where I come from, demos cost over 20 quid (inc the mag). I'm f***ing broke! I'm guessing that the console they released is NTSC(110V) and not PAL(230V). Because if you are planning put a 110V into a 230V socket, please video tape the evidence and post it on this forum and/or youtube. And make sure you have insured your PS! That will be soooooo cool to watch!


But beside that, what happend to the original idea sony had of releasing the boomerang remote??? Now...that... looked hardcore. It was like damn! I want one of those!

I was pissed that when i bought my console in april that it didnt come with a dual shock 3. I know it wasnt released then but they could have just put it into the console packs....

Does anything think sony would send me a free one if i called? Im not trying to be cheap or anything, its just, why should i pay for something if i might be entitled to a free one?

No you will not get a DS3 for free.

Did you get your PS3 for free if you had a PS2?

Things upgrade. It happens.

I got mine on UK release, so ive got 3 standard SIXAXIS pads.

And im buying 3 DS3 pads soon.
