PS3 Controller Renamed
After eight years of the DualShock controller being the companys primary PlayStation controller, the loss of vibration functionality has forced Sony to rename it. The PlayStation 3s standard controller will be now be called SixAxis, referring to its ability to sense six degrees of movement.
It will sell for approx $43 when it comes out in Japan and will run for almost 30 hours on a single charge via USB. Other accessories announced are the USB Memory Card Adapter, available at launch for about $13, which will allow you to transfer PS1 and PS2 saves to the PS3, and the PS3 Blu-ray remote for roughly $31, which will come out on December 7.
