Sony of Europe today announced that the Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller will be available across Europe on the 2nd of July.

The DualShock 3 Wireless Controller includes the highly anticipated rumble feature which gamers will be able to use on past, present and future PS3 titles which support the vibration functionality. The controller is also said to retain the “high-precision, high-response motion-sensitive aspects that have made SIXAXIS so popular” and is the only Bluetooth controller that combines the vibration function and Sixaxis features.

Sony also announced that “almost all future PS3 releases will support DualShock 3.” Gamers will be able to play many existing PS3 titles (including Resistance: Fall of Man; Gran Turismo 5: Prologue and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune) with the DualShock 3 as long as the PS3 is updated with firmware upgrade 1.94.

According to Sony, over 28 million DualShock controllers have been sold since the first DualShock was released for PlayStation in 1998.

David Reeves, President and CEO, SCEE, 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.”
