Sony Announces Limited Edition Gold DualShock 3

Always believe in your soul

by Sammy Barker Tue 5th Jun 2012

Sony’s releasing a limited edition gold DualShock 3 to tie-in with this year’s Olympics celebrations. The official blurb explains that using the themed controller will make you feel like a “real winner”. Sure, unless you keep getting sniped by campers in Battlefield 3.

The gold controller comes with all the features you’d expect from a DualShock 3, including SIXAXIS motion technology, pressure sensitive buttons and Bluetooth support for wireless gameplay. Anyone tempted?

I am a bit. Only have 1 DS3 and 2 Sixaxis (that came with my launch 60GB). My DS3 is getting a little unresponsive on a couple of the buttons, I don't fancy taking it apart, did that with one of the Sixaxis ones to do a mod' for my G-con3 and I'm buggered if I can get the thing back together!

This color looks really nice. I might just pick one up. I do need a new Dual Shock 3 so this is perfect timing.

I need to buy a new controller, so I've pre-ordered this. Good timing.

Not bad. I'm going to become rich one day, though, and get a real gold one made for me. Then I'm going to force my friends to use it. It's going to be solid gold. I'm a crappy friend.
