Sony has confirmed that the Dualshock 3 wireless controller for the PS3 is shipping to North American stores this week and will arrive on shelves next week. It will retail at $54.99.

Get ready to rumble!

Sony also released a list of compatible games on SCEA’s PlayStation blog. Some titles will require gamers to download a patch before the rumble feature will be activated. The patch will automatically download to the PS3 once the console is connected online. These titles are marked with an asterisk on the list below.

Sony also launched a page on the PlayStation website which will detail titles that use force feedback. The page will be updated as new titles become compatible. Gamers can also look out for the icon which will identify which new software releases are Dualshock 3 compatible.
