Joyrex Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 http://dealnews.com/Sony-PS3-Dual-Shock-3-Wireless-Controller-for-16-11-s-h/325609.html Just ordered two (with tax and shipping) for under the price of what I'd pay for one at retail - who gives a fuck if it's red.
plstik Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 seems like its already down. But besides that the price for the black one seems incredibly low too. In germany it costs about 75$.
mcbpete Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 $16 ?! Bloody hell in England the normal black ones are like (does maths, resorts to google instead) $67... EDIT: Ooh, I see Germany has it even worse.
Guest mafted Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Yea, that's worth it just for a backup. Nice find!

I just checked... yeah, it's expired - glad I ordered 2! In the States, the DualShock 3 prices range from 39.99USD to 54.99USD. I've never seen them this cheap before. $16 ?! Bloody hell in England the normal black ones are like (does maths, resorts to google instead) $67... EDIT: Ooh, I see Germany has it even worse. I can never understand why everything is more expensive in Europe...

I think I'm gonna order one or two and mark it as a gift, that way I'll only have to pay for shipping and they'd still be cheap as hell. games are cheap too...hmmm edit: lol 1 Dual Shock 3 + Batman Arkhams Asylum + shipping costs about as much as the game alone in germany.

You might want to try Amazon's US store (if you can manage to get them to ship it to Germany) - they typically sell DualShock 3s for 42.99...
plstik Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 yes, I've bought DVDs from there some time ago, but it looks like you cant ship games that are only for 18+ here from the us to the eu..

I've read recently that in Germany they had a "bad game dumping" where they invited everyone with a "bad" game to go dump it into a dumpster, and they filmed the dumpster and it barely had anything in it... Funny how countries are about certain things - America: prudish about sex/nudity, violence is a god given right UK/EU/ROW: prudish about violence, ok with sex/nudity

Funny how countries are about certain things - America: prudish about sex/nudity, violence is a god given right UK/EU/ROW: prudish about violence, ok with sex/nudity yeah, that story was truly It was organized by a group of relatives to the victims of last the school shooting in the german town "winnenden". They wanted everyone to trash their kids "Killerspiele" (thats how they call ego shooter in germany...), as a reward everyone who participated got a lottery ticket with a chance to win a signed football shirt of the german soccer team. I dont mean to disrespect these people, but the public discussion is still hopelessly biased and that "bad game dumping" is just a sad highlight of this immense stupidity.
acid1 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 I imported a while rumble shock from Japan a while ago, think I'll stick with that for the moment.
Guest Space Coyote Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Lame I missed this. I need as many spares as I can get due to friends with fucked up dirty hands and games like UFC where you can button mash (escape holds) or circle the joystick to death.

I *HATE* when controllers get abused - my son destroyed our old SIXAXIS controller on Battlefield: Bad Company, holding in L3 to run. Now the stick sorta lolls to the side...
plstik Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Best Buy offers buy 2 get 1 free starting sunday.
Joyrex Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 UPDATE: I got a bit worried when I didn't get a shipping confirmation the same day I ordered it (considering the site says "ships today"), but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and decided to wait until Monday to check my order, and Monday morning I got an email saying my order was cancelled due to a "mistake" and the "product offered was not available". Thankfully, I wasn't charged. If it's too good to be true...
