Love it, definitely worth the money. I got my mate to buy two from Japan (at that time, it was only released in Japan).

chrisco84, from your games list ... GTA4, MGS4 and GT5P will support rumble. I think COD4 still doesn't support it, and they don't plan to.

i wasn't fussed, i paid 78 for GTA4, traded it in to EB for 110, bought the control(the control was actually 94), because i only paid 78 for GTA4 i really only paid that much for the control and used the rest on a holder for my psp

On play asia, there is a Japanese compatabile version and a US compatable version. Can some one tell if one or both will work with the Australian console?

The Japanese DS3 controller from www.play-asia.com/ works perfectly with any PS3 and the only Japanese text on it is on a small label underneath it (The compliance label I think?) and the best part is that they're less than AUD$57 now!!

Got one a few months back and it's amazing. I like it how it's a bit heavy and pressing the R3 and L3 sticks feels better and makes less sound to press. The sixaxis controller felt like it was going to slip out of my hands real easily.
