2 out of 5 stars dualshock worth the weight?   September 4, 2008
ok so luckily i got this controller cheap because after playing with the sixaxis for so long it feels like im using a log as a controller when using a dualshock 3,i mean seriously?this thing weights more then a dualshock 2,i dont know about you guys but the vibrations just not worth all that weight to me


5 out of 5 stars As Expected   September 1, 2008
Works as expected. Same as normal controller with added vibration function. Works very well.


2 out of 5 stars It's a controller, nothing more   August 28, 2008

It works okay. Not the most responsive controller, but maybe the best available for PS3. Nothing special really, and very, very overpriced.


5 out of 5 stars My wife likes the shock'er - Dualshock 3 I mean.   August 24, 2008
Great controller. Not too heavy, not too light, and better when you can feel the action. I wish Sony hadnt had the lawsuit and could have released this controller from the beginning. I recommend it.


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.
