Without wanting to turn this into a hijack, the sixaxis was never really anything more than an interrim measure by Sony. Despite what they said about vibrating controllers being a technology of the past, it was simply the case that Sony were in the middle of a legal squabble over some patent violation with regards to the old dual shock controllers.

Now that's all sorted, the Dual Shock 3 is soon to hit the shelves. It's basically the same as a Sixaxis but features the dual shock feedback capabilities. Means it's got the proper 'heft' that the old controllers had. I've never liked how light the sixaxis feels.

Not all games are compatible. Early titles aren't. Recentish ones have some limited feedback features. All current and future titles should be fully compatible.

Not sure if they're actually out yet in the UK, but if they're not then they should be soon
