Sixaxis discontinued...DualShock 3 new standard

Euphoric | April 03, 2008 | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3 Misc 
In this blog Stephen Totilo outlines the discontinuation of the Sixaxis controller. He says the new standard for Playstations will be the soon to be released DualShock 3 controller. This may prove to a pivotal point in the constant battle between Sony and Microsoft for the premium console.
I got my DualShock 3 controller from Sony today. The new controller, which goes on sale in North America this week, will make my Sony games start rumbling ASAP.

But unboxing my DualShock 3 made me wonder about my PS3’s Sixaxis controllers. Are they the old hotness?

A Sony rep tells me that the Sixaxis is indeed on the way out: “Sixaxis will no longer be offered after it’s completely sold through at retail (likely by the summer timeframe).”

    Will DS3 continue to include motion-sensors? It had better.

    Yes it will Red. I don't see why they will stop having the feature. That is also why they cost so damn much.

    @Silver_Mirro it was "twilight prince" ;;;

    And yes, it will have Motion Sensor. Will cost $5 more than SIXAXIS.

    And it should be out over the next week or so. Amazon.com says they'll be released today (Friday, April 4th)
