Dualshock has long been a feature regarded as a favourite of Playstation users. Alas, when Sony initially announced that the PS3 would not have Dualshock support, most fans (including myself) were somewhat disappointed (hence those abysmally-looking sales figures, eh?). Looks like Sony’s on a hot streak of correction though – from a price cut to a long loved feature re-implemented, they’re making the Playstation 3 the console to get (as opposed to the Xbox 360, not including the Wii).

The latest update of PS3 firmware, version 1.94, finally features Dualshock 3, arguably the franchise feature of the PS3 controller (there’s also the Sixaxis, but there’s not much to be said there). However, it doesn’t seem as though you’ll be able to download version 1.94 off the Playstation Network just yet. Actually, PS3′s firmware 1.94 comes with a new Ratchet and Clank game titled Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

And it seems as though Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction won’t be the only game featuring the new Dualshock.

This does mean that us Western users won’t be able to get our hands on Dualshock 3 for the PS3 till around Spring of 2008. Ah well, at least we’ve got something to look forward to, right?
