How do you connect the new Dualshock 3 controller to the PS3?
I've got the controller plugged into the usb cord and hooked up to the PS3 but nothing is happening? It's been scanning for like 25 minuters now. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks guys for any help you can give me.

Anyone else not able to connect to the network? I've been trying for a while with no success. And it's not giving me a message to update or anything, either.

So, this Metal Gear beta code thing is a joke. I finally turn on my Ps3 after 4 months to try this out and my code is 3 letters short. Luckily I took 2 from work, pop open the second one...same thing. I call my store and my employee had already opened our remaining 11 beta dvd's....1 had a full working code. YAY! Konami, way to screw potentially thousands of people who reserved your game over with a partial code and no way to fix it

1) That is concerning, I better open mine up.
2) So you guys have no more bonuses to give out? Don't they regulate in these stores how many freebies employees can take/open? Granted, this is probably as good a cause as any, but still...

So did a bunch of people come back and complain, or did Konami send a notice out to stores yet?

I had about 5 calls yesterday, but figured it was because the download was not supposed to start until today. On a side note, I managed to download the beta, but the update once it's installed just times out and will not download. They should have just put this damn game on 360 from the beginning and be done with it so we could actually play it

Just want some opinions, how hard do you think it is going to be to find this "limited edition" 80gb MGS bundle in June? No stores are taking preorders so that kind of has me worried.

The actual "limited edition" MGS 4 bundle with the gunmetal PS3 and controller will likely be VERY limited. I wouldn't be surprised to see it only sell on the Konami website, and sell out quickly at that.

I have used my PS2 controller with a generic PS2 to USB adaptor and it works for GHI and II, but does not allow whammy bar or hammer ons and pull offs. This looks like it could be the ultimate solution if it works as advertised. It is supposed to make the PS2 guitars compatible with the PS2 GH games, PS3 GHIII and PS3 Rockband.
It is $20 and is supposed to ship in the next couple of weeks. I ordered one and when I get it I will test it out and let everyone know if it works. They also have $50 guitars that work with all games as well, but I already have a perfectly good Red Octane PS2 guitar and would rather use that and save the money. I don't need a whole collection of plastic guitars.

"List Price" is $70.Pre-orders must be doing a pretty good business.

As well as the limited edition gunmetal bundle:
No details yet on what exactly the limited version contains, how to obtain one, or how limited it will be. The Japanese version had a 40GB PS3, which very well might be the one we're getting here.
