The dual shock comes out in the UK on the 8th of May (this Friday) to coincide with the release of Gran Turismo (OOOOO I sure have my copy reserved!) Well, it is according to HMV Manchester anyway. I think the geyser said the dual shock was going to be £39.95 so I'll buy one of them too if the cash-flow situation allows. (prolly not..) By the way, anyone played NFS III? I hired it out and it's excellent -- really smooth feel to the cars and a top Hot Pursuit game. I did find though that at very low speeds the physics aren't quite as crisp as NFS I (PC) -- ie doing 'doughnuts' is not quite as satisfying; and the opponents' cars have an extremely limited physics model (very apparent when colliding with them.) But IMO this is the best driving game so far. Well, it is until the 8th May...
