We all love our SixAxis. It’s what we first used to clear the universe of grubs, mow down other drivers in MotorStorm and frag that annoying 3rd grader talking smack on Call of Duty 4. Well, it’s time to fall in love all over again.The SixAxis controller will be discontinued shortly after the DualShock 3 comes out this week. A Sony rep offered the following:

“Sixaxis will no longer be offered after it’s completely sold through at retail (likely by the summer timeframe).”

Not only will we now be able to experience our games even better than before but, as the DS 3 becomes standard, used SixAxis controllers will become quite cheap on eBay and Craigslist, allowing us to hook up additional controllers for our PS3 deprived friends to use when they come over. Once you get your DualShock, please come back and tell us your thoughts.

(Editors update: GameStop has been selling the DS3 since April 3rd so head on over and pick one up. Let us know what you think!)
