DualShock 3 From Japan

[Ertay]

Hello there,

I wanted to buy a DualShock 3 controller. I found one for a decent price at www.play-asia.com . But now my question is this: Will the Japanese Dualshock3 work with my Europe/PAL Console? Here is the link to the item

Thanks!

Yes it will work, however Play-Asia won't ship to the UK for Sony equipment I'm afraid. Try Yes-Asia instead.

I am not from UK . I am from Macedonia. Thanks for the fast reply mate

[Number45]

No problem, sorry for the assumption.

Is Macedonia part of the EU? (thick I know) as PA do not ship Sony products to the EU

(Seeing as England played them in the Euro qualifiers they may well be)

[Ertay]

Nope not in the European Union hehe .

So what is Macedonia like then ? as we don't get much coverage on Macedonia for anything apart from football.

Some people have all the luck :-)

What games on the PS3 actually support the Dualshock 3? Is there any backwards compatability or is that yet another damn thing we'd be expected to download patches to facilitate?

Seriously, no vibration/rumble is one of the main things that put me off the PS3, apart from the price, the paltry number of games and often second rate cross platform versions of course.

I'm sure Uncharted, Resistance & Motorstorm support it, but not sure on any others.

Add GT5P to that, also seems to work fine with all ps2 games.

All the luck? I'm telling you , you dont want to live in this country . You know what happened to me 2 weeks ago? I got screwed so badly -.- . So, I ordered two copies of PES2008 (because Macedonia is SO great that you can't find any other game besides Ridge Racer and Genji) from the UK store called ChoicesUK (www.choicesuk.com) . The total amount was 71.98 Pounds (103 Euros). After a week from the order, I get a call from the post office, and they are telling me, your order has exceeded 50 Euros so you must pay additional fees (my highest order was 60 Euros before this and I didn't pay any additional fees, was shocked when I heard them say that). I told them I will gladly pay, but guess what they replied? They told me I need to pay the customs 20 Euros which is fine by me, but they also asked 40 bloody euros to make the documents, and on top of that the Airport requested 25 Euros, because they kept the "microscopic" box in their storage areas. D'oh, the storage area isn't a 5 star hotel for god's sake. I really needed the games, so I paid 85 Euros to get the package. Now, I learned my lesson tho .

Oh and, Legendary, Macedonia is a small country in the Balkan. A bit lame in winter, but pretty cool in Summer.

I was refering to the luck of not being in the EU, not being lucky living in Macedonia. although I'm sure that has many plus points over the UK, particuarly during the summer.

Customs charge woes are universal - if you think living in the EU will stop your imports costing you extra you're ignoring the inventiveness of government departments, big business and corrupt individuals in screwing the 'little man' over.

[Ertay]

Hehe, well yeah you have a point. But I am sure you won't pay additional fee of 85 Euros for a 100 Euro package.
