    Yes, but Amazon almost always has them for around $40.

      I don't need really need a new controller but I think i am going to buy this one anyway. I have several games to trade in that i forgot to trade in when i bought NBA2k11 so the controller with the show should not be to bad with all the trade ins.

        Can you pre-order the controller at GameStop?

        I've got over $100 in store credit and plan on using that for The Show 11 and the controller. Gotta love that 50% extra credit they have going on trade-ins right now. I traded in 6 games today and earned over $80 in credit.

          Yep, I preordered the game and the controller from my gamestop almost a month ago. I think my total was around $125, and the sales tax in Chicago is 10%, so yours will likely be a little less depending on where you live.

            Good news! I'll make a point to stop by the store over the weekend and get that pre-order in.

            Did you get a code for MLB.TV trial? I didn't, so I'm hoping it comes with the game or on the receipt of purchase on Mar. 8.

              I paid for mine in full when I preordered and nothing came on my receipt, so I'm assuming it'll likely be included with the game. At least I hope!!!!

                  I was in a Best Buy in the Atlanta area last month and the dual schock controllers has dropped about $15-20.

                    Yes, it has an AutoPilot button you can turn on and just sit back and watch the game. It's pretty cool.

                      Just for a controller that you already have except it does not have the baseball graphic

                      But when EA or any other game like COD releases a map pack for 15 dollars. People cry and say that they are robbing us clean and should be much cheaper but others want to drop $55 on something they said they do not need but gotta have it.

                      Hmmmm
                      The difference, of course, is that the $15 you spend for a map pack is only usable in that game, while the $55 for a themed dualshock 3 can be used as your primary controller for all your PS3 games; it is not functionally tied to one game.

                          I'm gonna break down and buy it. I have 2 working controllers, one that I haven't even opened yet as a spare, but that controller is too sweet. And I will only use it while playing The Show, no other game.

                            I've been given the green light on the purchase of this controller. I have to be honest....at first I viewed it as a gimmick and I'm not a gimmick buyer but the appeal has grown on me. Not only an exclusive show controller but exclusive just to me as well. My viewpoint: no greasy fingers on this controller. The trendy red and the traditional black will become the community controllers.

                              Had 3 dualshocks already, sold one for 30 bucks to my cousin, then realized my left joy stick on my blue one is acting funny, so I will be preordering both

                                As soon as I saw this I went right to Amazon and bought 2 controller skins and the skin that protects the PS3 body as well! Awesome!
