I ordered it from play-asia when it came out. You can get it fairly easy here though,many stores have it imported.

Well, when isn't Europe treated as the cash cow of developers and publishers?...

For me, a PS3 purchase just cannot be justified until I get DualShock 3, backward compatibility and a significant price drop.

Here in Australia, the PS3 is:

-$US600 (AFTER accounting for taxes)
-40GB without BC ONLY
-Comes with Sixaxis ONLY

 Although we can now get a DS3 for $99AUD, That's something, a very expensive and not worth it something, but still something...... :D

Well in Europe they have release a double pack of SIXAXIS for like £40 (RRP of £35 for 1) so they are clearly trying to get rid of stock

 Yeah I got this deal, I was well happy :) finally I have 2 controllers (I smashed my first one). 

OT: I think they are coming out pretty soon, but it is cheaper to import them I think.

we get scrwed by everyone here in europe, we get games, prephirials and even consoles after the US and Japan. Its a joke, especially as the EU market is bigger than japan now.

Why'd you want a dualshock 3 when you've got the ever-so-fine sixasis? :p

Europe may be larger in terms of sales, but thanks to taxes, multiple languages, different censorship laws, etc. the US still equals more profit, and both Japan and the US would require less localisation, etc.

Of course most of those don't apply to the DS3, and the reason why it's not out in Europe is obvious. If it's the region that sells the most units, then it's the region that would deplete excess stock.
