Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has today announced that the DualShock 3 controller will be available across Europe on July 4, 2008. The wireless controller includes the motion sensing of the previously available Sixaxis plus a vibration function which has been sorely missing for PS3 gamers.

David Reeves, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, 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.”

Sony says that almost all future PS3 releases will support DualShock 3 and is already compatible with many existing PS3 titles, including Resistance: Fall of man, GT5: Prologue and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

DualShock 3 will be released on July 4 priced £39.99.
