5 out of 5 stars The PS3 Is Perfect And So Are The Controls   August 17, 2008
OK, now we're in the generation of gaming with motion sensitive controlling, which has become a worldwide phenomena thanks to the Wiii. With the PS3 Sony have utilised the motion sensitive gaming whilst keeping the conventionally easy PS3 controller. The SIXAXIS controls of the PS3 pad allow game producers to implement certain motion sensitive aspects to their games, without it becoming too much for those less active gamers.

The Dualshock controllers have been a part of the Playstation generation since the beginning and now they have the Dualshock 3. A controller that reacts with vibrations at certain instances within the game. Say if you're using the SIXAXIS while playing a driving game, you're steering the car with the motion sensing turned on, and you collide with a wall. The pad would vibrate with the same level of ferocity of how you hit the wall, in a sense giving you that additional level of realism.

The battery life and size are also something I want to touch upon with the wireless PS3 pads. A full charge can literally give you more than 12 hours of solid gaming, and when compared to the wireless XBOX360 pads, the PS3 version is minute. It's light and just generally easy to hold when compared to the bulky and annoying XBOX360 pad.

If you have a PS3, you should definitely own a wireless pad. So buy it.



1 out of 5 stars Worth the price? No USB Cable included?   August 15, 2008
I purchased this controller to have a second controller for my PS3 to take on my friends.
It may be a small thing but ording this controller for the price it doesn't come with the USB cabel to charge the batteries.
May not be much but when it's promoted as:
"Can be charged at any time through the PlayStation 3 system using the controller's USB cable."

It's a bit 'CHEAP' Sony can't include another USB cable for $50+
Kind of like selling a $500 Playstation with only one controller in the first place.

I haven't been impressed with the "Rumble" feature in this unit in the first. Had metal gear solid 4 when it first came up and.
"Not a whole lot shakin' going on to be worth mentioning.



4 out of 5 stars Good Controller   August 15, 2008
Good controller, it has rumble and sixaxis and its chunkier, which feels better. I prefered over the normal sixaxis.


1 out of 5 stars WEAK RUMBLE!!!!   August 12, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

By far the worst Rumble i have ever felt in a controller. my xbox controller, if put on a flat surface will jolt around everywhere and move around suggesting great rumble. I love my PS3 but this is the worst accessory the rumble is so weak!!!! This sits still on a flat surface compared to the wonderful rumble of the glory that is Xbox 360


1 out of 5 stars Dualshock designed to fit the hands of a child, Not a man's hand   August 7, 2008
 0 out of 4 found this review helpful

Background: I'm 30 and haven't had a console system since Super Nintendo, PC games were just fine and cheaper. This year I wanted one and I couldn't decide XBOX or PS3. I bought both.

Review: It does what is expected but I find myself having a hard time holding the controller, Especially when trying to use the lower Left and Right buttons(L2 and R2).
It barely fits in my hands. My hands hurt after a half hour from gripping it so tight it doesn't fall out of my hands. I can wear a medium sized glove, Large is a better fit, but you understand what I am trying to convey. I don't have abnormally large hands. It was NOT designed for American sized men.
