Controller so expensive... Already have two Sixaxis controllers... Don't really need a third, but rumble is so necessary...

SIXAXIS plus Rumble for $54.95. I don't see a problem with that.

Agreed, rumble and SIXAXIS...sounds fair to me. Still cheaper than the Wii-mote/nunchuk combo.

exactly. Would you rather pay $50 for the SIXAXIS and then another $x amount for the DS3?

Is it just me, or do the DS3s feel lighter than the DS2s? I was expecting them to be heavier.

Was this a challenge? Guess I'll have to bust out the camera...

::EDIT::

And below is a(n awful) picture of me in front of it.

Hmm... The only tough part now is deciding what to play...
