Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land As expected, Sony have officially announced that the range of DualShock 3 colours has increased by 1, with the release today of PS3 controllers in a fetching shade of silver.
In 2007, Sony settled a long-running dispute with Immersion, a company holding patents for control pad rumble technology. The world moved on. But now, the lawsuit (or at least part of it) is back.
While we’ve heard that the silver DualShock 3 controllers will arrive in the US in June, it looks like the even-nicer white pads have already hit.
A listing has appeared on GameStop’s website for a silver DualShock 3 controller for the PlayStation 3. Which is odd, since there are no silver PlayStation 3 consoles available in the United States.
Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi gave Game Developers Conference attendees a chance to learn “All About Noby Noby Boy” today, including that the game was originally developed on the Xbox 360.

In a get-out-the-vote ad from presidential hopeful Barack Obama, the candidate is reminding voters that they need to make sure they actual do vote on Election Day, November 4. This new ad points out that you cannot make history on November 4 with a Wii-mote. (We’ll take this to mean you can make history with a DualShock 3 or an Xbox 360 controller. Thank you very much Trophies and Achievements!) Obama, who is also running in-game campaign adverts in Burnout Paradise, has previously confessed his love for Pong.
Taking a page from the Wii Play playbook, Sony is going to bundle one of its more popular upcoming games, LittleBigPlanet, with a DualShock 3. It’ll do it in Japan anyway, hoping that the Japanese video game consuming public will be awed by the woolen cuteness of Sackboy and bring some vibrating solenoids into their workaday lives. Price is just 7980 yen, about $79 in increasingly worthless U.S. dollars.

PlayStation Portable owners, you’re about to get a bit more value our of your copy of Resistance: Retribution. If you also own a copy of Resistance 2 for the PlayStation 3 — and if you’re actually going to grab Retribution, there’s a good chance you’ll have one — connecting your PSP to the PS3 will “infect” your copy of Retribution.
Sony is adding rumble support to the PSP, courtesy of the DualShock 3. Using the new “PSP Plus” feature in games like Resistance: Retribution, owners of both the PSP and PlayStation 3 will be able to forego the portable platform’s analogue nub for a better control experience.
