DUALSHOCK 3 Launching in North America This Week


Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced that the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller will be available at retailers nationwide beginning this week for $54.99 CDN (MSRP). DUALSHOCK 3 incorporates both the rumble feature and motion sensing SIXAXIS technologies for a more realistic, interactive and intuitive gaming experience on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) system.

DUALSHOCK 3 will enhance the gameplay experience on future PS3 titles, including the highly-anticipated Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, the next installment of the billion-dollar selling racing franchise, launching in two weeks in North America.
