Summary: It's a controller, nothing more
Comment: It works okay. Not the most responsive controller, but maybe the best available for PS3. Nothing special really, and very, very overpriced.

Summary: My wife likes the shock'er - Dualshock 3 I mean.
Comment: 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.

Summary: The PS3 Is Perfect And So Are The Controls
Comment: 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.

Summary: Worth the price? No USB Cable included?
Comment: 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.

Summary: Good Controller
Comment: Good controller, it has rumble and sixaxis and its chunkier, which feels better. I prefered over the normal sixaxis.

The Dualshock 3 wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS™ motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body.
