I wanted a rumble contoller in the first place but was denied it by Sony who claimed it was “last gen” and “technically incomplatible to do rumble and motion sensing”, until Nintendo managed to do it brilliantly then Sony claim they have just worked out how to make them all the while we have been buying up their stocks of crap sixaxis controllers.
Well, this is not right and proper and we should be compenated properly.
Also, no, I will not shut up.

Hey, Ton Capone, you crank.

Firstly, what’s this “we”? Typical crank; thinks everyone agrees with your complaints.

Secondly, you can keep your SIXAXIS controllers because THEY ARE NOT OBSOLETE AND THEY STILL WORK. Nobody is forcing you to buy DS3s. So don’t buy one, and do shut up. Thanks.

@Ton Capone,

Another whiner. Do explain how the SIXAXIS is obsolete. Either that or quit using words you don’t understand.

Nice try at viral marketing John and trying to convince us it’s a good deal.
You failed, we see it for what it is.

Threespeech

Will SCEE be providing a system by which we can trade in our now obsolete six axis contollers and recieve the new “last gen” dual shock 3 free or at a large discount?
If not, why not?
They said they were not doing rumble as it was last gen so I invested in the six axis controllers in good faith.
