The story of the Dual Shock 3 is one of the most drastic turnarounds seen in the gaming industry.

We know how we'll be playing when the full game is released on February 22, and it won't be with a Dual Shock 3.

The Dual Shock 3, with rumble enabled, is now available in Japan.

And the Dual Shock was a rip off of Nintendo's controller.

"Was this long-lost relative of the Dual Shock a better controller?"

Battery life with the built-in pack is shorter than the Dual Shock 3, although not to an annoying degree.

Without rumble, the controller was light, and the triggers had a much larger range of motion than the Dual Shock 2.

The Dual Shock 3 is going to be the controller for Sony moving forward, and many games already support the rumble feature.

For the majority of the system's life, the Dual Shock 3 will be the controller everyone knows, and it's a very good controller.

The Dual Shock 3 is yet another way that the system has improved since launch.
