Sony are not having a good week this week. First 2.40 retraction, then the very long awaited DShock 3 arrives over priced and under stocked.

Come on Sony. I know you are playing catch-up, but please sort this out. Its actually still cheaper to import this controller from Japan duty paid than it is to buy in the UK; Thats if you can find one!

Why bother buying a UK version when you can import for £9-£10 less in price which is what everyone I know did.

Another Sony press release, bought to you by the Official Sony Web Site.

Don't see any shortage of these at retail myself, but if it is the case its blatantly Sony creating a shortage.

Surprised there is a shortage at all, considering the price. I wish i earned the salary you P3'ers must obviously earn to pay for the hardware lol. Bit harsh with regards to the "official sony website". I think they have been more than balanced in the past, and i think that any other hardware release by the other two hardware players have had just the same coverage.

Hope when i buy mine next year they make a bundle with two pads or they come down to a more reasonable price. Or i will just import like everyone else lol.

I love the spin Sony have put on this whole debacle. It was a mistake not to use the vibration function in the first place. They fobbed of Nintendos just announced technology and then after zero six axis innovation from developers have decided to play it down and release this "all new" controller. Its a total joke that these are even selling, and should be price at £20 to trade for £29.99 retail, not £26 trade for £39.99 retail. A shameful attempt at ripping off the consumer when it was Sonys fault to blame.
I mean what on earth is exciting about relaunching existing technology? The cost price cant be more than £5 on these either.

well i don't see any shortages, my suppliers said they had plenty of stock, maybe it's just to make people panic buy????

Yep, at the moment we have plenty in stock. Methinks Sony are just trying to get people in panic buying.
Sony will just blatantly hold these in a warehouse claiming stock shortage like Microsoft and Nintendo have done in the past. I for one won't buy mine until I see a price reduction (he says *raises eyebrows*).

I have loads of money,but still I stole 2 of these pads to prove a point.On monday I will steal some more.I am bored.
