DualShock 3 dated down under
New rumble-enabled PlayStation 3 controller to debut in Australia on April 24.

Sony's DualShock 3 controller for the PlayStation 3 came out in Japan late last year and debuted in the United States just last week, but until now, Aussie gamers have had no indication as to when they could expect the new peripheral. It seems we won't have long to wait, however, as Sony has confirmed that the DualShock 3 will be available in Australia on April 24 for A$99.95 ($92) and in New Zealand on May 9 for NZ$109.95. In the US, the controller retails for $54.99.
OK this is downright disgraceful. $100 for any controller let alone a dualshock is a big FU to the consumer. Hell i thought the Wiimote and Nunchuck combo coming in at $80 was steep but that pales in comparison with this.
Guys if u are going to buy a dualshock 3, Play-Asia are your best bet. $65, and if you cant wait for the two week $3 standard shipping then 2-3 day UPS shipping can be had for $15.

That's a fucking joke. Here's hoping the 100 bucks is going towards the GIVE ME XMB IN GAME fund.
Playasia also has the ceramic white controllers in dual shock flavor as well.
