The rumble-ready DualShock 3 controller should be ready for US audiences on April 15th, according to a report by Kotaku. This release would coincide with the release of the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Retailers have supposedly just received this date from the Destination PlayStation meeting. The controller will cost a rather hefty $55.
We're getting in touch with Sony right now. Let's see if they can confirm this announcement.

Already got my DS3 controllers from Asia, but if you could also get an European date from Sony I am sure many here would appreciate it.

I'm sure that will be the date for the new bundle then too.
120gb PS3, with DS3 and GT Prologue would be sweet.
I'll pick up a second one if that happens.

A simple firmware update could do that.
