amazon.com to sell $20 SIXAXIS controllers [Update]

by Andrew Yoon { Nov 21st 2007 at 2:02PM }

An anonymous, but reliable source informed us that amazon.com has some significant Black Friday deals coming up. The biggest item we saw on the list for PS3 owners: a $20 SIXAXIS controller. Yes, it won't rumble, but if you want multiplayer gaming over the next few months, this is your best bet.

Dirt for PS3 will also be $30. Additional deals will be unveiled during the sale (and we'll update this post if anything worthwhile shows up). The sale will begin on Friday and last until Monday (if supplies are still available).

[Update: Call of Duty 4 is also on sale for only $48.]

I hope there's an update as to when this sale would begin. I'm weaned off of rumble, so this is a great deal to get four wireless controllers!

DiRT...meh

I have a full racing seat and G25 setup and passed on DiRt but would probably pick it up for $30

I have a full race seat and G25 setup but passed on DiRT after the demo. I may pick it up if I see it for $30 though.

gamestop is also doing the sixaxis for $20 and the blu-ray remote for $10

i'm getting both as a gift for my dad who's getting a ps3 soon for a BD player

I'd rather pay $80 for a DS3 import than $20 for a Sixaxis.

How can this be a bad deal? I think I may pick up a couple more controllers, hell I paid 59.99 for my second one (CDN)

"How can this be a bad deal?"

It's a bad deal if you want the real thing... four controllers that *aren't* gimped. It's no secret that the SIXAXIS controllers are gimped - and that their value will be permanently reduced by the upcoming DualShock3. If you chose to buy a PS3, do you really want to settle for second-best now?

On the other hand, many gamers don't have 3 or 4 budding joining their game sessions very often (online excluded). So getting a SIXAXIS might be ok if you want a third/fourth controller on rare occasions.

OK, at $20 a pop, this is worth it for 3rd and 4th controllers.

BUT, can someone please tell me what PS3 game allows/requires a 3rd and 4th controller?????

Maci @ Nov 22nd 2007 8:31PM

How about Warhawk?

Evil Bastard @ Nov 23rd 2007 12:10AM

I just checked and the controller is still listed as $44.99

Alex @ Nov 23rd 2007 3:17AM

gotstabnoel @ Nov 23rd 2007 5:39AM
