Japan is home to some of weirdest and most wonderful gaming paraphernalia in the world, and it thus comes as no surprise that a marvellously adorned DualShock 3 controller will be released there alongside one of the biggest games of the year.
‘Uncharted 3: Atlantis Sleeps in the Desert’ is the Japanese title bestowed upon the ‘Drake’s Deception’ we know and love. Sony Computer Entertainment Japan’s desert-themed DualShock 3 controller (pictured below) will be bundled with the game for a collective cost of 9 980 yen ($129). Uncharted 3 will sell for 5 980 yen ($77) on its own.
If this controller never gets released in the West then expect it to become a rare (and expensive) piece of PS3 memorabilia in a couple of years time.

Whoa, looking really cool! Definitely collectible material!
And I like that Japanese title for Uncharted 3 - "Atlantis Sleeps in the Desert." So mystical. ;)
hehe - yeah, they don't want to paint drake as a deceitful character (since the title can be read two ways, of course). i'd definitely pick up this controller if i could - it's noice!
It looks like a map of Middle-Earth with the "One ring to rule them all" adorned to it. I must say, I'm rather underwhelmed... And I think the name of the controller just gave something away regarding the UC3 story, and I've been avoiding anything UC3 related as to make the game a complete and total surprise!
Im not a fan of the colour but i also would not mind having it as well lol
i want! For some reason i love DS3's in earthy colours and i went as far as to buy the Killzone 3 bundle just to get the green dualshock, and then trading the game as i don't like fps's. the only thing i don't like is the ring on the right side.
I think it's pretty cool :) I definitely would not mind one of those!
