DualShock 3 Getting All Ceramic White for Japan

On November 11th, Sony is also releasing the DualShock 3 in Japan. The force feedback controllers will retail for ¥5,500 (US $47) and come in Black (model number CECHZC2J) and Ceramic White (model number CECHZC2J CW). These will not be packaged with the 40GB PS3.

I'm thinking about it, not sure if I want to wait till next year to play Uncharted with rumble

[HowarthsNJ]

A bit pricey or did I read it incorrectly?

[Marceles]

<----importing @ launch

[btkadams]

wow i am definitely importing. that white looks sweet. i hope it works with my ps3 lol. i dont see why not to be honest.

[DiLeCtioN]

definitely will import but does it work with EU PS3 and what about warranty

[resistance100]

Yer they should work.

However if the dual shock 3 breaks you will have to send it back to SCEI to have it repaired

[sandip787]

wow i seriously hope its compatible with eu ps3s...
do you guys think itll look nice with a black ps3?

[user9691653]

Why don't they get this in the same package as the white 40GB PS3?

Really. I think I could buy it next Christmas when the price is reasonable in combination with some good games. The white PS3 + white controllers at last with rumble I would pay 200 to 300 Euro for then.

It's good to wait with the PS3, so they get all the futures in that should have been there @ start: rumble in controllers, a mature/good online service and... games. Christmas 2008 I think Sony will have it's stuff done hopefully...

huh... don't get the N4G systems working... Changed my name to Xboxkings, but suddenly I have the old name again. Pretty strange. What is happening here...

[SmokeyMcBear]

hahahahah someone took themarts name, he changed his to xboxkings, now someone took themart username, this cant be the real themart, aka xboxkings

[user9691653]

Not joking now... I changed my name to Xboxkings, someone else obviously written in a TheMart account (mine was TheMART) but the N4G systems probably are mixed up, because my newsreader logs me in on this account...

Strange! I looked into my account and don't know what's going on... E-mail says [email protected] so it's a XBOX employee now having fun around here or something like that? Moahahaha WTF is this...

[gEnKiE]

wow, that is beautiful. I was going to import one anyways but now that they have the ceramic white dualshock3, theirs no question. :]

[sandip787]

wow mart i am actually shocked, you have something good to say about the ps3!!!
are you feeling ok?
looks like you've taken the green tinted glasses off and are now seeing properly!
congrats mate

[user9691653]

Dude, I've always been like this. I think the current offer isn't good. I think Sony started wrong (too high priced, no rumble, online didn't live up to the expectations Sony created).

I am saying the PS3 will be worth 200 to 300 Euro when it has some games next year. So don't buy it now.

What I find strange, is that I changed the name of my account on N4G to Xboxkings and in my newsreader I keep my old accountname. Don't get that actually... I sure only have one account, but some things get mixed up @ N4G it seems... ghosts...

[SmokeyMcBear]

haha different account, only 5 ignores, someone has multiple accounts or is screwing around.. too funny

[gEnKiE]

....it is really sad when somebody goes around making multiple accounts to imitate somebody else....really sad..

[sandip787]

LOLOL!!!!
smokey well spotted mate!!
i honestly was fooled!
dude you have 210 points whereas the real mart has like 140000
and to think you almost had me fooled...

[user9691653]

I'm not fooling around dudes... I have changed my name in Xboxkings, but I use my newsreader and suddenly get into this account. WTF is happening here, databases of N4G facked up?

EDIT @ Sandip

I am not joking dude... I am working from my newsreader now on this comp, was working on my other comp last night which logs in normally on my changed accountname to Xboxkings. Don't know what's happening but can see in this account the mail [email protected] which is obviously not my e-mail address....

Something is going terrible wrong with the N4G databases. Most funny thing is, that guy that made TheMart is probably an xbox employee with that e-mail address???

[sandip787]

dude come on now youve been rumbled. stop being so sad.

[razer]

is from somewhere in Europe and he sure as hell doesn't say "dude" in every post he makes..

Will the real TheMART please stand up!

[eagle21]

[Cat]

guess i'm the only one that thinks this looks like a knobbly panda.

[mighty_douche]

while its certainly 'eye catching' (trying to be polite). ive always liked my tech to be black, boring i know but thats how i think it should be.

[nevelo07]

where do i need to go online to import this out of japan guys thanks

[Korosuke]

You can get one from this retailer. I don't know it will work or not another region's PS3,,,but maybe ok.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

arent the x and o switched on the jpa controller...like thre functions..

[mighty_douche]

its the sames layout has anywhere else.

[Barreldragon00]

On Japan and (Europe?) Consoles the O is the confirm button on the XMB instead of the X button.

[PS360WII]

Well I think Sony is racist for making a white controller. heh that was fun.

Neato but I'm not truly understanding this want for importing this? Is it because of the rumble?

[resistance100]

Rumble is the reason, having the option to get it in white is just a bonus.

I don't want to wait until spring to play HAZE and Uncharted: Drakes fortune with rumble hense why im importing a DS3

[PS360WII]

ah yea that's cool. I wouldn't mind some rumble for Uncharted that game looks sweet ^^ Not sure why Sony is offering rumble in games but not bring out the controller till later. Though I suppose it's a supply thing so what can you do short of importing.

[user9691653]

.

[MikeGdaGod]

this is not correct

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[Korosuke]

Yes, it's correct.

Source is SCEI press release. Sorry it's Japanese. But it mentioned about bundle controller at *5, it's not DS3, plain sixaxis.
http://www.scei.co.jp/corpo...
※5　同梱されるコントローラはワイヤレスコントローラ（SI XAXIS）です。ワイヤレスコントローラ（DUALSHOCK& #174;3）は別売となります。

[damnwrx]

But I'll wait til' more update/ details for it! (isn't it region free).

[Bonsai1214]

i hope sony does some sort of a trade in process with sixaxis and DS3..

does DS3 have motion detection or just rumble?

[Madmax1281980]

well not to be rude m8 but if u look at the back off the controller it plainly says dualshock3 sixaxis in it :)

[Quisp]

Does Sony need to do a firmware update for these new controllers to work?
Are firmware updates released regionally?
If so, then I guess importing or buying online would be moot.

[makingdamage]

Why haven´t they still not fixed the R2/L2-buttons?

[DarkSniper]

I wont be buying a DS3 until I know for sure it will work on American and European PS3's.

$niper

[Violater]

The black DS3 preorders have sold out. lol

[emaddox84]

The white DS3 is a cool looking controller, but I wouldn't want to have to clean it all the time to keep it from looking nasty. Imagine how that thing would look after your friends came over to play some games with their sweaty ass hands, haha. Just look at your white light switches in your house. I'll stick with the black.

[mikeslemonade]

This is the first thing im going to import ever. Im getting the white. I don't think about the big picture as far as displaying items in my room. I just get the coolest thing in my opinion so obviously white is better.

[Sevir04]

and Yes the DS3 to the person who asked also has motion control. i'm importing from japan. i'll get one just one i dont think 120 plus 16 bucks shipping is justifiable for 2 controllers. i'll get one. and i'll do it in black ^^ cant wait uncharted with rumble and motion ^^ good stuff, and Haze will support it. cant wait for it Nov 11th good stuff
