New PS3 pad launched today; 'Close call' on day one stock

Sony UK has moved to reassure retailers that it will be providing ?regular? shipments of its new Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller this month ? but admitted that it can?t guarantee stock for everyone on day one.

The firm announced the long-awaited launch of the controller this week, which finally brings the vibration function much-loved by PS2 users to PS3 in Europe.

As revealed by MCVUK.com this week (30/06), the peripheral launched in wider Europe earlier this week, but goes on sale for ?39.99 in the UK tomorrow (July 4th).

Mark Howsen, PlayStation?s UK sales director, told MCV: "It's going to be a close call as to whether we can guarantee enough stock for everybody day one, however, we'll be making regular shipments thereafter, in order to satisfy demand."

Despite the ?new breed? of controller, Sony has put its faith in the continued sales potential of its Sixaxis PS3 pad ? DualShock 3?s predecessor.

Howsen added: "We'll continue to offer the Sixaxis controller for the time being, giving consumers a cost effective buying choice, based on their gaming needs. Moving forwards, we'll monitor demand at retail."

President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe David Reeves commented: "We are delighted to confirm that Dualshock 3 will be released in SCEE territories in early July. We hope this will add to the intense gaming experience for our fans, as we continue to evolve PS3, its software and its peripherals.?

My order with dvd.co.uk hasn't been processed nor is it listed on their website so it means they don't have stock yet.

I don't mind waiting a few days more since i'm getting it for ?23 which is nearly half price of the ?39.99 RRP (which is a joke price). Gameplay are doing them now for ?32.99 but it wouldn't be here till next week so i am going to keep my order and wait it out.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
