Welcome Back Old Friend
Tokyo Game Show has kicked off and what better way to start the news from Japan than the re-emergence of Playstation's dual shock controllers. After the clamoring from fan boys and fan girls alike Sony has finally capitulated and is bringing dual shock to it's PS3 controllers. When asked how Sixaxis and DualShock would play well with one another Sony exec Phil Harrison responded, "The two can counterexist due to some very clever algorithms that filter out the effect of motion sensitivity and part of that is done inside the controller and part of it in the library."
For those upset that the games they've already shelled out hard earned dollars for will be without the rumble we all know and love I say fear not! Sony is planning on releasing retroactive upgrades for dual shock support. The only question now is whether you're willing to shell out nearly $500 for a system that is still being outdone by it's forbear.
Sadly, those of us not living the jet set life in Japan will have to wait until Spring to get our hands on a Dual Shock controller where as those in Japan should see them in November. Were I a Sony fanboy, I'm sure this would simply be another reason to add to the mountain of reasons I should move to Japan.
