The PlayStation 3 is getting a new urban digital camo controller, presumably to help your kill/death ratio in the upcoming onslaught of modern first-person shooters.

Sony is getting ready for the onslaught of modern war shooters with a brand new controller design for PlayStation 3.

The DualShock 3 controller sports an "urban camouflage" look, making it pair nicely with the official PS3 Bluetooth headset.

A Sony Computer Entertainment America rep confirmed that the controller will retail for $54.99, the standard price for all DualShock controllers. In addition, it will be available in November.

Check the official PlayStation Flickr page for a closer look at the controller.

      The Best Buy here prices Dual Shock 3 controllers at $60. I should probably be looking for Amazon deals instead.

      What do you think, should I get a digital camo controller for my machine that plays Bayonetta, GT5, and Catherine?

        You actually like the digital camo? I think it's ugly. Controllers in other colors are fine, but this is just ridiculous.

          Yeah, I'd be worried about putting the controller down and then not being able to find it.

          I just think it would be goofy to be playing Bayonetta or Catherine with a digital camo controller.

      This will be great for those rednecks who wear camo everywhere they go.

      It's going to get lost on the couch even easier.

      The design is decent, but anyone in their right mind should by the controller+game bundles for $59.

      Holy hell, $55 for a pad? You would think technologys price would decrease after 6 years...

        Gaming console accessories never go down in price; they just make a higher margin after the component prices descend.

      I'm not ashamed to admit it that I'll be picking this up at some point. Yeah it's a novelty, but I can always use another controller and this is definitely different. Just wish dual shocks were cheaper.

        75 hours of Bayonetta will do a number on a controller. It's about time for me to get a new one, but I really hate the $55 price tag; I could get a game for that much. I'll have to wait until I get some extra disposable income sent my way.

      They should use a couch camo paint, not urban digital.
