The new DualShock 3 arrived at GameDaily HQ today. We took pictures of the unboxing as well as some side by side shots with the SIXAXIS controller. The new controller looks almost identical to the SIXAXIS, save for the name, which appears in blue on the controller and it feels a little weightier. We have it charging right now and will be giving it a go on some of our fave PS3 games tonight.

The official PlayStation Blog says the controllers are headed to stores today, so expect them on shelves by the end of this week/next week for $54.99.

New PS3 games that work with the rumbling controller will come with a DualShock 3 Compatible icon.
