Videogaming 24/7 have just recieved a statement from Sony stating that DS3 will be released on Friday. Full statement below: DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controlleravailable for PLAYSTATION®3 this summerFeel the full power of your games as the eagerly awaited DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller arrives on PS3™June 27, 2008: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller will be available for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) in Europe on July 4, 2008. The eagerly awaited 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. It’s not what you see – it’s what you feel that makes DUALSHOCK 3 the first choice for all gamers. More than 28 million DUALSHOCK controllers have been sold since the first DUALSHOCK release for PlayStation® in 1998. Now DUALSHOCK 3 puts some serious power into existing and future PS3 titles, with its vibration function offering even more interactive play between gamers and the many games – past, present and future – which support the vibration functionality. 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). Face the heart-pounding fear of alien warfare in Resistance: Fall of Man™, hold tight as you tear through the streets of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue™, or feel the thrill of treasure hunting in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune™ – your favourite PS3 games like you’ve never experienced them before.Making your gaming experience more immersive, more intuitive and more realistic, DUALSHOCK 3 is the only Bluetooth® controller combining vibration function and SIXAXIS™ features, and the first choice for anyone wanting to get the most out of their PS3 gaming experience.

NOT Coppin....
it aint even a necessity to me. pads a pad, dont see what the hype is about vibration
Games feel dead without vibration. Especially shootersThe ps3 pad is sh*t, bare light and feels cheap. Dont see why they decided to leave vibration out of the design in the 1st place

It was more complicated than that. They were suing both Microsoft and Sony, but microsoft settled out side of court Sony try take it to another level and got taken to court and had to remove it before the ps3's went into production.immersion took them to court won and Sony had to pay them pretty much $100million (for the 8yrs the controller had been on the market)Then just to rub salt in the wounds, immersion said "i'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement"Then charged a higher amount (bearing in mind they just got 100million compo) to implement it into the ps3 controller againMicrosoft paid the money and bought a 10% stake in the companySony finally sucked its lip up and paid for the service :lol:
