Dualshock 3 hitting Europe on July 2nd

Sony has announced that its Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller will be made available for PS3 in Europe on Wednesday (July 2nd) for 39.99.

The wireless controller with vibration function will put truly responsive gaming power into players’ hands, shaking up gaming experiences when it arrives on PS3 this summer.

According to Sony, ‘Dualshock 3 also retains the high-precision, high-response motion-sensitive aspects that have made Sixaxis so popular.

David Reeves, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, commented:

"We are delighted to confirm that Dualshock 3 will be released in SCEE territories in early July. We hope this will add to the intense gaming experience for our fans, as we continue to evolve PS3, its software and its peripherals.”

Almost all future PS3 releases will support Dualshock 3, and the controller is already compatible with many existing PS3 titles (firmware upgrade 1.94 required).
