PS3 DualShock 3 controller coming in April

MIG-31

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) on Tuesday announced plans to release its DualShock 3 wireless controller for its PlayStation 3 video game console in April. The new controller will cost $54.95.

Since the PlayStation 3 has shipped, the system has used what Sony calls a "Sixaxis" game controller. It looks almost identical to the gamepads that Sony makes for the PlayStation 2, but features internal gyroscoping capabilities so users can tilt the controller up, down, left and right to control the game.

The interactive capabilities of the Sixaxis controller drew criticism from some game reviewers and analysts because the controller lacks the distinctive "rumble" feature that was present in earlier generations of Sony controllers marked as "DualShock" products. Those devices utilized force feedback technology which would cause the controller to buzz and shake in the user's hands based on in-game actions, such as being hit or punched, or causing explosions.
