That's a long list
It's good to see the dualshock back - I missed the rumble

But, was it really necessary to post all the games it's compatible with?

Sorry got so excited and I thought that PS3 fans who are thinking of buying the new gamepad might want to know what games will be compatable....then I realised the list was very large after copying and pasting it
