This is very inexpensive !!
I think I will reserve my vote until the deal is confirmed.
Am I missing something? Is it not clear enough?
The only confirmation that the deal existed was your post (minus uploaded pics at the time of my comment). I was reserving my vote until a catalogue picture was posted, which you now have.
But why have you written over the pic and controller? Makes it hard to determine if its genuine Sony or third party.
I think I'll continue to reserve my vote.
DS3 or DS2?
PS4 :)
Power,
you didn't reply to phil's question about how you found out about this…
Check above!
@POWERevolution: lol i was late by about 50 seconds..
Not bad, so is it the sixaxis or the standard, i was going to buy this tomoz: http://www.offerme.com.au/groupbuy/PS3-DualShock-3-Controlle…
So if it's similar, i would be stupid to not got for the kmart one.
Also, doesn't say if it is wireless or not :S
@RJE91: Yeah i was going for that was as well.. I might wonder across to kmart now seeing as it's 5mins away from my work.. I'll see if the catalogue is there.
@phillystyle: It just seems too cheap for the sixaxis … Like if offerme can do it for 50, you wouldn't think a retailer would be doing it for $11 cheaper!
@RJE91: I got no clue as I don't have PS3 but from the cat + offerme pic they both look the same to me.
Would this be the sixaxis or just the standard?
It would be the sixaxis..
GREAT DEAL!
Any picture show the difference between these 2 controller?

Yeah i was going for that was as well.. I might wonder across to kmart now seeing as it’s 5mins away from my work.. I’ll see if the catalogue is there.
Please let us know after your trip to Kmart.
Just looked in kmart then.. They had no catalogue in there but I did see the ps3 contollers. They were selling them for 99! So I doubt it's genuine
Didn't they stop making the "standard" ones, and the sixaxis is now standard?
I thought all PS3 controller now are sixaxis … hmm maybe I'm wrong …
Yes, all other variations (non dualshock) have been discontinued for.. quite some time now.
Doesn't look genuine?
Wait up,
Look at the catalog pic, just above the price sign and a bit to the left there is a usb receiver or wire, so i assume it isn't the standard sixaxis as they use the Ps3's bluetooth…
Yeah I can see the USB plug but maybe picture is for illustration purposes only. Let wait for phillystyle to confirm after his trip or someone close by Kmart give them a visit.
It's a third-party controller… EB head office knows about this and won't match.
I was and still a bit skeptical, that being said, that usb just might be the lead to charge it, if it is the genuine six-axis it's a huge bargain! If not, i'm going to be dissapointed.
Jason, are you 100% sure it's not a sony product?
Correct. 100% third-party controller.
Didn't think it was real.
Negative.
wtf this is not sony brand zz futuronics -_-
on closer inspection it does appear that the controlled is a 3rd party one
EDIT: i was looking at the symbols on the controller like triangel , circle etc coz that look slightly different.
We can't really see over the 'n' in the writing, OP please post photo again without the ozbargain writing…?
yeah doesnt look genuine for sure
Speaking of Genuine contrllers.
I remember seeing a 'bundle' with the Sega Megadrive games.
Does anyone remember where this was?
Why is there so much hype over a non-branded ps3 controller? there is a huge difference in quality, I even have a Logitech usb rumble that I use with the PS3 and it still doesn't match the feel and quality of the Sony ones… The catalogue (If it is the actual one that is) displays a third party controller and it even has a usb stick just above the $39 sign… I've seen Australian (Especially franchise) sell a genuine ps3 controller at that price, so I doubt it's genuine (I haven't even seen american online retailers reach that price… The only time a good a price near/slash beat this was when GAME added the sony controller for $20 online by accident.
Looks to be the same as
http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_…
Back when cotd had their ps3 offer.
that looks exactly the same as the kmart one! good work!
Agreed…that's it.
No deal.
Yup…look the same so is COTD genuine? Can any one bought from COTD deal confirm?
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no.
The symbols on the buttons give it away.
Deal should be edited.
So does anyone have one of these, and can comment on the quality?
LOL so much response within 1hr for a PS3 controller! :)
LOL…maybe put at the top that's it's not genuine cos it definitely isn't.
lols? told you its futuronic
Catalogue didn't show brand name…could be other brand too :)
For all those they are keen for a ps3 controller hit up the offerme site that was linked earlier - but for all those lazy folk here it is again - http://www.offerme.com.au/groupbuy/PS3-DualShock-3-Controlle…
Probably the cheapest genuine controller going around..
Maybe post it as a new deal?
SON OF A!
Damn u Kmart for fooling us >_<
If it was genuine they would have stated 'Sony' in the title.
Maybe we would of figured it out by looking at it sooner if he didn't slap the big green OzBargain over the top of it.
maybe Powerevolution know about this so he put the OzB logo :)
As this price is damn cheap (sorry didn't know it was 3rd party as I don't own any Sony, only Wii) so I though making something exclusive for OzB but didn't know this ruin the party. That's all folks!
It's alright man … looks like you need to update title so people know it's 3rd party :)
Anyone going to Singapore? It cost like SG$50 in Singapore for an original PS3 controller. Aussie price is just crazy.
that's an ugly looking controller
The item is described as "dualshock" in the catalog. This is likely to be a Sony trademark. I think you could argue that they were referring to the Sony item through the use of the trademark! It isn't likely a 3rd party controller would have dualshock written on it anywhere.
dual shock is not the intellectual property of sony, that's why sony couldnt bring dual shock at beginning, and which sucks
The photo is clearly of a 3rd party controller. End of bargain
Unfortunately, you could import these yourself for about $30.
It was a good deal…until it was 3rd party.
best thing to do is get a copy of the catalogue and try and price match it with someone who has poor eyesight! i'm sure at least one person here will be able to =P
wonder if this works…
Agreed, $39 for a 3rd party IMO is not a bargain.
Missed it by that much.
Not genuine .
Curious. Why would you write over the top of the "bargain"?
sony dpad does not connect to each other this one in the pic does ..
Positive removed 'cause of non-genuine revelations.
non genuine crap.
WOW!!!! Thats a great price! Bet they will go super quick!
