2 out of 5 stars They truly feel cheap   August 1, 2008
I enjoy my PS3 from time to time. I don't have any games but I download demos on occasion to give games a try. I loved the PS2 controllers, they were the same size just about... but they were heavier and felt soooooo much better in your hands. I'm sorry I'm an adult with bigger hands than a kid. I don't like how light the controllers are. The other huge letdown was the L2 and R2 buttons that are hinged at the top instead of being regular push-in buttons. Why they decided to do that I don't know, because it feels awful pressing into them. What was wrong with the old school controllers that had normal r2 l2 buttons?? I loathe it when companies change things that are perfectly fine the way they are. I've also had the controller un-sync during a game. Not like the battery was low, but the bluetooth hiccuped for a second and had to reassign the controller. It only happens in a split second, but ummm when you're playing a racing game and your controller freezes I've seen my car vere to the left for an extra second causing me to crash OR the controls actually reversed once lol. so instead of going left like I wanted to I vered right. I actually returned the game rental and rented on the 360 instead and the game played so much better.

Pros:
Long battery life
Quick recharge time
they look like the classic PS2 controllers

Cons:
No rumble feature
Too light causing it to feel cheap
loses bluetooth connection from time to time
the R2 L2 hinged buttons are a terrible idea.

In short, I am considering buying the new dualshock controller because it's a few ounces heavier. and I have a logitech USB controller which is great but it doesn't work with some games, and it's usb so it doesn't turn the ps3 on or off :(
I'm trying to sell my normal controllers lol(yeah i bought the console with an extra controller) if you like heavier controllers(xbox orig, 360, ps2, dreamcast) you will not like the feel of this controller.



4 out of 5 stars Sony Strikes With Another Great Gaming Combo   July 27, 2008
This product has many good features. This is a great controller with its motion sensing, light weight, potrability, and wireless capability. What can't this controller do? You can turn on or shut down your PS3, turn off the controller, start and play videos, games music, download stuff, browse the web, and even more with its wireless capability by just moveing your fingers. The battery lasts at least six hours and it is a breeze to charge. [If you are a hardcore gamer and play a lot then I would recommend having a spare controller.]

Now lets look at the downsides to this product. This is practically copying the X-box 360 controller with the ''triggers'' for L2 and R2 and it also copys the ''X-box button.'' It is quite expensive too! It does not have the rumble vibration feature either. [That does not affect me because I never used it.] The worst part to this product is that you have to separately buy the USB-to-Mini USB cable to charge it. [This does not affect me either because I have tons from my other Sony products.]

Overall this is a great product if you do not use it tons and you are sure to be satisfied by its incredible performance.
