is it really worth £10 more just to get the rumble feature on some of the games?

Yes it is

yeah it is I have to say it is defiantly the best controller I have ever used.

£10 is a steal

DS3 + MGS4 = epic win beyond comprehension.

Definitely

"£10 is a steal"

Abso-freakin-lutely!

I just wish I had it when I played GOW and GOW II on my PS3 (I never had a PS2).

I'd say so.  Comes in handy for MGS4 ;-)

It's the best controller. I wish I had it. I just want to save my money up, and not throw it away aimlessly.

I ended up importing the white one from japan when it first came out. It certainly adds another dimension to games.

I prefer it just on the weight alone. For some reason playing games with a super light controller doesn't feel right.

Yeah I like it alot more than the Sixaxis.

Yes it is! It's totally woth it!

When I had only the sixaxis it was fine... but remembering the rumble functions is pretty cool. It has become my primarily controller, never play without it! I guess the sixaxis should have never existed, I mean, a dual shock 3 "sixaxis" is fine, but sony and immersion should have worked their problems before ps3 launch...

:)

Yeah, I'd have to say i really love the DS3 now that ive been using it for a while. I imported one from Japan around christmas time, and just a single play session with it meant i could never go back to the cheap, light feel of the Sixaxis. 

Personally I don't care.. I don't need a shaking controller to tell me that my head just got blown off..

Probably, but I'm totally satisfied by my light Sixaxis controller.

Yeap It's worth it!

Totally worth it, just didn't feel right without it.

i think im going to buy one now

Yes it is.

It feels really good and doesn't feel so lifeless, so it's worth the extra £10. I found the £40 price tag horrendus for a dualshock3, so if you try ebay (I bought mines there) you can get one cheaper,  I picked up mines for about £28, really good!

I hope to get mine soon. I heard some games even support only part of the controller to rumble to tell you where your getting hit.

With the Sixaxis functionality and the added addition of the rumble, the Dualshock 3 is now the best controller in the industry.

yes!! I have both Sixaxis and Dualshock 3 and the dualshock 3 owns!! Especially when playing MGS4

it seems alright, but it feels a little too heavy for my liking, i like the ligghtness of the sixxaxis controller
and as for 10 pounds more?, we down south have to pay an extra $50 just for the rumble, costing $100 i i was to buy one.

FUNNY STORY:


Yesterday I hooked up the PS2 and was playing some games. My hands, being accustomed to the rumble-less SIXAXIS, grew tired soon after all the vibrating began. I didn't realize how MUCH vibrating happens in most games. I used to not notice it but now I'm overly sensitive to it.

I got so sick of it that I had to turn off rumble in every PS2 I played. And like nickkcin said, it's too heavy. I love how light the SIXAXIS is.

If you want a second controller there is no reason NOT to get a Dualshock 3 over a Sixaxis. And yeah, in Australia they're $100AU (around $97US) for a Dualshock 3, still worth it if you want a second controller; at least that way you have one of each.

i bought one from work today so i feel this thread can be made rudundant and locked but there seems to be some decent crack so lets keep it, and to be honest i like the greater weight of the dualshock

Yes, DS3 is definitely worth it. I imported one as soon as I got my PS3

jesus mine was second hand but you can buy thm new in the uk for about £35/$70US"

It is worth it.

The old Six Axis felt cheap and to light. Dual Shock 3 feels "right"... and yeah, the rumble is great,

I dont really like rumble, I turned it off in my wiimotes and I havent bought a dual shock 3  yet and dont plan too. I think its a question of whether you personally like rumble

The DS3 is pretty good for some games, others don't really need the rumble. The only problem I really had with the original Sixaxis was that it wasn't very sturdy. I imported mine from the US before is came out here in the UK for only £29 which is good seeing that is much cheaper than the RRP. If you don't want to pay the extra, the imported controllers will likely still save you the £££.

well since the sixaxis is going away i don't see you having much choice in a little while

What are some good MGS4 moments with rumble?

Im sure someone else can add a better moment, but the very first time you control snake. The control rumbles to explosions all around you, in such a way, that you can tell what direction they're coming from. It really adds a extra level of immersion.

Enough immersion to warrant an extra $20?

Yes. $20 isnt a lot. A lot is what I spent on Rock Band controllers. Anyway, its not just about immersion. As others and I stated, the extra weight feels "right". With the sixaxis, it felt flimsy. As if it would break easy. Or fly right out of my hands.

Amazon is selling it for $50 ($60 for the white Japanese model). Gamestop is selling for $55.
