4 out of 5 stars LIttle heavier, battery time shorter, but vibration is worth it (for games that have it).   May 11, 2008
LIttle heavier, battery time shorter, but vibration is worth it. Not all games have shock programmed in them, but for those that do it makes the gaming experience more interactive. In Grand Theft Auto for example, when there's thunder, it vibrates, when you're next to the train tracks and a trains going by, you feel it, you can even set your phone in the game to vibrate. The controller feels comfortable to use, and it's not too heavy. It's very easy to recharge with the usb cable that comes with the PS3. The weight and battery time aren't really issues. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because it's a little expensive and not all games have vibration capability, but still, I think it's worth it.


4 out of 5 stars Nice...   May 11, 2008
Finally, the DUALSHOCK3 is what Sony should've launched long ago with the launch of the PS3. It feels heavier and more secure to handle than the normal SIXAXIS. The plastic isn't see-through like the SIXAXIS as well.

My concern was the battery life, since it's using more power for the feedback, and thankfully it didn't disappoint me. The battery cycle lasts almost the same as a normal SIXAXIS would. The feedback is not that powerful yet not weak; somewhere in the middle. But not bad at all.

Gives your new games a better experience and refreshes your old ones (if supported of course) :)



5 out of 5 stars PS3 Dualshock Controller   May 9, 2008
Just as advertised. Much better than the regular 6axis b/c it actually has weight to it. Feels just like the good ole PS2 controller.


5 out of 5 stars Ohhh yea its back!   May 9, 2008
It may have took a little over a year but Sony finally released a true PS3 controller. One of the things I like about the DS3 is that it seems much more sturdier and durable unlike the cheap feeling six-axis. I am currently playing gta4 and the rumble works great in it. The only downside is that not every game supports the rumble like Call of Duty 4 but that doesn't matter to me that much because the feel is what brings it all together for me. It's everything I hoped for in a controller.


5 out of 5 stars Way Better then the Regular SixAxis   May 9, 2008
Games that support Dual Shock 3, are just 10 Times More Enjoyable with "Rumble".

Once you Try a Dual Shock 3 controller, you won't want to go back to Regular old SixAxis.

I Highly Recommend this product.
