Sony: Dual Shock Still Defacto, Motion Control Secondary
6:00AM Mark Wilson | We saw Sony’s impressive motion control demo. You may call it a gimmick, and even Sony admits that it’s not the primary direction of the PlayStation 3. The Dual Shock will still reign as king. More »

Use Your PlayStation 3 DualShock/SixAxis Controllers On Your PC

PSP Getting Dual Shock 3 Support Through ‘PSP Plus’
10:40PM Mark Wilson | We’ve seen the patents and the rumours that the Sony PlayStation Portable would begin accepting the Dual Shock 3 controller. Heck, we’ve even seen those too impatient to wait who’ve modded the experience on their own. But finally, Sony has announced a new feature called PSP Plus that will allow you to play PSP (2000 or 3000 models) with your Dual Shock 3 (or SIXAXIS?) controller.

How Sony’s Cheapness Is Biting The PS3 In The Arse
5:40AM Jason Chen | Sony’s mantra of not writing checks for exclusives–or much of anything–seems to be biting them in the arse a couple times this week. There are at least four cases where the PlayStation 3 has suffered because of Sony’s lack of willingness to open up the purse strings. We knew two of these before–backward compatibility and the DualShock 3–but we only found out about the other two during the roundtable session with Sony’s Jack Tretton yesterday. More »

PSP Plays Better With DualShock
4:30AM Mark Wilson | The PSP controls are not horrible—though that analogue nub leaves something to be desired—but the DualShock is a far more comfortable controller.

10:55AM Nick Broughall | If you like some rumble in your gaming jungle, then you’ll be happy to know that Sony has announced that their Dualshock 3 controller for the PS3 will be released in Australia for $99.95 on April 24.
As a point of interest, the US version (which is exactly the same in every way), has an RRP of US$54.99, or the equivalent of $59.37. That’s roughly $40 cheaper. Factor in the shipping and it’s still cheaper.
Sure, there are economic factors that local companies need to take into account beyond the strength of the US dollar, but $40 is a lot of money in anybody’s book. Sony’s decision to price their controller that high in Australia really will encourage a lot of people to import.
