5 out of 5 stars A control for the future!   September 25, 2008
If your moving from the PS2 to the PS3 youll notice one big change to the controller, the lack of a cable connecting it to the playstation which is fantastic it cant get tangled or disjodged from the control.

Apart from that the controls only been changed in a minor way, the R2 and L2 sholder triggers are now not encased in plastic sheild which makes them alot easier to use, the control feels alot more responsive especially with the Sixaxis function. The case is more durable and the buttons themselves are alot easier to depress.

The battery life of the control is also fantastic i think i charge mine up at about once a month and im a hardocre user! It cant get much better to be honest ive not had a problem with the control or the charging system.

I do not own one of these and do not plan to order this either I have found a cheaper white one from a website (Better not post or amazon might not be happy) which i am going to get when i get a ps3 (This month) I am still going to say that it is worthwhile as the sixaxis is not inredibly much cheaper and is pretty inferior. Really should go for this DS3 or import a white one.

I bought an extra controller for my ps3 about a week after I bought my ps3, I decided it would be worth having to make the ps3 more useful and I was really really right.

These controllers are absolutely one hundred percent brilliant in every way. There so light, the charge lasts what seems like forever and their so easy to use. The new system for the front buttons on these controllers is great, it makes them easier to control and much better for light use. The analog buttons are as great if not greater than they were on the old controllers, they feel natural and comfortable in your hand.

The system for using more than one controller on the ps3 is perfect, just press the PS button and you can assign the controller to whichever level you like, 1,2,3 or 4.

Even if you dont play with other people its great to have a second controller so you can always have one on charge while your playing so you never have to play with the controller on a wire.

So, if you like playing games with other people this controller is the oerfect second controller to buy and if your on your own its still great to have the second controller. The price tage seems reasonable to me for the extra fun you can have from this. 35 pounds is not money wasted on something this useful! Get yourself one and you wont regret it!



3 out of 5 stars An old idea?   August 10, 2008

The PS3 dualshock controller is old news, as i just found out that even the PS1 had sixais, and now sony should be even more worried, because microsoft is also developing a sixais 360 controller! so ps3 controllers arnt so special anymore. =)=)=)!

I gave myself the choice to buy a Dualshock 3 or a game, and to be honest i was torn between it, i mean c'mon 40 for a control pad that just has the rumble feature added to it!

But i made the choice to get a Dualshock 3 and i admit i was slightly dissapointed with it at first, until i tried playing a game with the Sixaxis again, that is.

There is such a mega difference with fun in games with the Dualshock 3, i adore the controller now! i could not play with the Sixaxis ever again!

There a plenty of noticable differences:

It has rumble (obviously)

It is heavier, but not dramitically heavier, it makes the control feel much better and as others say not as cheap.

It has different plastic case, the Sixaxis is all shiny and slippery while the Dualshock 3 has a less shiny case and is much more firm to hold, its a small difference but it makes the control pad a hell of alot better!

The analog sticks are much easier to press in, a little push and it will go in.

The L2 and R2 buttons are slightly more inwards then the Sixaxis and they feel harder to push in, which feels much better in my opinion.

What can i say about the Dualshock 3? Well i can not play on my PS3 without it now! if you have a choice between a game and a Dualshock 3, absolutely go for the Dualshock, its a small difference but makes the PS3 just that much better to play on!

Buy one now!
