Sony has announced that Silver DualShock controllers for the PlayStation 3 are now available, with more colors to be released later this year. I know, I know, settle down, it's really exciting.

Red and Blue will be available this fall, giving more excuses to replace the extra, rumble-less abominations you picked up when LittleBigPlanet was released. They're going to be exclusive to Gamestop, though, so if you're still waving your boycott flag you might want to take a moment and shed a tear. They're going to be priced at $54.99, normal cost for PS3 controllers, which is a bit surprising. You'd think Sony could get away with charging a premium for something this hardcore awesome.
