Default LF: PS3 DualShock 3 or Sixaxis controller

Now that everyone has jumped on some of the PS3 deals from the past week (Dell and BBV), just wondering if anyone has found any deals on either a DS3 or Sixasix controller?

I know that FS and BB have the DS3 for $49.99 right now but I was hoping to find something a little bit less $$$

i've seen sixaxis controllers for about 30-40$ Buy-It-Now price on ebay (shipping included) but You will be hard pressed to find a dual shock ps3 controller for less than 50$ (I've looked around).

Personally? I don't care about rumble one bit, nor do I care about it being sony. I'm using a 10$ logitech wired controller and I love it.

Alternatively, you could buy a nice PS2 wireless controller (10$) and a ps2-ps3 adapter from dealextreme (~5$) for a cheap wireless solution. Only thing you will be missing is the PS button (which is convenient but not necessary), and the fact that you will need to use a USB slot rather than blu-tooth.

Doh...just bought a PS2 to PS3 adapter for $14.98+tax from RCSS today. I completely forgot about DealExtreme. I may just return it and order them from Dealextreme instead depending on the cost of shipping.

Be careful though, the PS2-PS3 convertor I got from DX doesn't work w/ my logitech cordless controller sadly. It probably only works with wired ones.

The other great thing about DX? I'm only out 6$. Not even gonna bother returning
