April US Release For DualShock 3 News

SCEA announces that its DualShock 3 controller will rumble onto US PlayStation 3s this April...
Following extensive legal battles for Sony over their DualShock rumble controllers, denials that a DualShock 3 pad was on the way and an eventual DualShock 3 unveiling at TGS'07, Sony has now revealed that the pad will go on sale in the US this April.
Surprisingly, the DualShock 3 pad "will work with more than 100 current PS3 titles." Given that there have been somewhere in the region of 350 PS3 games released to date, this begs the question: have developers been making their games compatible with the DualShock 3 for quite some time?
That's hard to say, although the original DualShock 3 rumours did suggest that developers were working with the controller as far back as last august. Then again, Sony's back catalogue of games could also be made DualShock 3 compatible via updates over PSN.
At an RRP of $55 in the US, this translates to nearly £28 under the current exchange rate. However, given the fact that European consumer electronics tend to be priced slightly higher than in the US, we would expect the DualShock 3 controller to cost around £35 when it eventually comes to the UK (similarly to the SIXAXIS' current RRP of £34.99).
The DualShock 3 controller will retain the SIXAXIS' motion sensing technology, although that's not necessarily something to get excited about given its poor utilisation in PS3 games so far.
