woot! Tricked the girlfriend into taking a walk by a futureshop lastnight -- got a game of Rockband in, a game of guitar hero, and picked up a Dualshock 3.
"Don't you already have 2 controllers?"
"Yes, but this rumbles"
"Ok, what's that mean?"
"It's like force feedback, it vibrates"
"And the others don't?"
"nope"
"I'll never catch up to your tech-geekery, will I?"
"no... no, you won't -- ooo Eye of Judgement!"
ahhh... considering how big a nerd I am, she's quite patient with me.. I am lucky..
Anyhoo...looking forward to plugging this thing in and giving it a whirl in all my games.
hmm... beer......

Is it worth it?? I need to pick up a second controller anyways. We really should have a PS3 section in here.

That's my question (esp. in my case where I don't have people over often to game) I'm just leery of buying one of those and then having to worry about the condition of the batteries in two controllers...

I personally think it's worth it.
My issue being that purely visual cues of when you're being shot at, driving off road, or being shot at can easily be missed. If the whole screen turns red with death, am I actually taking damage? I can't see the red arrow :S .. so yeah, having some tactile feedback is always a benefit.
