I've always appreciated the quality of Sony products from their televisions to their gaming consoles. The controller is classic Playstation style with the solid design and feel of Sony. This is the standard for gaming controls.
The Dualshock 3 is an excellent replacement/additional controller for the included (on older models) PS3's SIXAXIS controller. And the rumble feature makes PS2 games feel more like they did on the old system, but doesn't add significant weight. I'm still a big fan of Sony controllers and have no regrets that I didn't have to try another brand. The battery charge seems to last just as long as on my old controller, et cetera; no surprises with this unit -- it's solid.
This is a sturdy controller made by Sony, and is the official controller. It is bluetooth, syncs instantly, and works with all games. Not all games will be dualshock vibration compatible, but the controller works with all games on the PS3.
When playing vibration intensive games like Call of Duty World at War, you will feel how great and powerful the vibration is. The constant gunfire will vibrate till your hands get numb.
If you are looking to get another PS3 controller, get the Sony made one. It's trusted, and guaranteed to work.
Very happy with this item. I replaced the Sixaxis controllers and I always use the Dual Shock controller. Playing with the Dual Shock give me a better feel of the game's reality. And futher more what person wouldn't want more, rumble features plus motion tilting all in one package. NICE!
This is a nice little controller. I was on target when I thought they released the DualShock 3, Sony's next gen gamer's Excalibur. Same awesome design that fits oh so perfectly in my hand, same game enhancing vibration function as the DS2, and now with the sixaxis control feature & it's wireless! What more do I need to say about it? Sure there are other after market controllers out there for less money, but why? Who didn't cringe a bit when Sony unveiled the unsightly, boomerang controller with the PS3, oh so many years ago? So when it was revealed that the controller was going to be the same shape & function as the DualShock 2, I let out a huge sigh of relief. But my relief was tempered by the announcement that there was to be no 'shock' in the new wireless controller. "Oh well," I thought, "At least it still 'looks' like the dual shock." But then I heard that the reason for no 'shock' was that it wasn't compatible with the sixaxis feature. Now I'm no electronics engineer, but I know enough to know that there are ways to counter such incompatibilities.
Great product. Amazon shipped it quickly. Battery life is decent. I use the controller for about 3 days worth of gaming before charging.
This is definitely what everyone should have. The 1st original PS3 systems did not include these controllers. Playing with these adds another dimension to your gameplay experience.
This controller was coooool!! i was surprised that it was really white! My husband looks this controller and i can't wait to buy another one!
This remote is very good. I have 2 and they both work very well even after serveral years. It's the best.
My grandson got a PS3 for Christmas, and wanted an extra controller for when a friend comes over..He didn't want a knockoff he said. He was very pleased to get it..
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.
The wireless PS3 controller surpassed my expectations. Plugging it in to keep it fully charged is very easy, and it holds its charge for a long time. I recommend this item to any PS3 fan.
The PS3 Dualshock 3 is one of the best controllers built for the Sony PS3! It has rumble support and all the capabilities of wireless control! They also come in a unique variety of colors that just make it that much more nice. I am happy with this product and I hope you can enjoy it just as much as me! I bough the silver Dualshock 3 controller.
There is no doubt that this is the best controller for Ps3. Sadly there are no alternatives at least good ones from other brands. Logitech's controllers wont work in racing games and the shock function is not availbale for all games. I sold the logitech controller and purchased this sony dual shock.
For those who like the DS form factor, it's perfect. High quality, light controller. What else to say?
