4 out of 5 stars Unbiased review of Sixaxis and comparison to Dualshock 3   August 18, 2008
D. Frost (England)
Starters, yes they are using their same design to the Dual shock 2 and Dual shock and it is a trade mark of Playstation. Old? Yes. Broken? No, theres nothing broken about the controller, sure there are room of improvements as with all of them - The analogue sticks need to be more robust is the biggest improvement they can do i think, which i think they have improved a bit with Dualshock 3. And the other thing would be to make the constroller more rounded and maybe slightly bigger for adult hands size i think. Maybe also bring the design into the 21st century just make the buttons have that glassy effect like the PSP, Xbox 360 controllers, pretty easy to do. It is a very light controller, personally i couldn't care less how light it is as long as it works, i'm fine with it. but others like a certain weight which is fine but you have to be pretty fussy.

Comparision: The design to the Dualshock 3 is the same however Dualshock's colour coating to different, it's fully black it's not the sightest bit see through. Weight of course, dualshock 3 has rumble (hense the name) so it has that little bit no weight. They both have motion sensor and as i said earlier the dualshock maybe a bit more robust but i'm really not that sure on that one. And the dualshock 3 does cost more about 10 pounds here on amazon.

Over all, etheir one you buy is good, if you don't really care about the weight buy the sixaxis you'll save more money, but if you're used to the weight of the Playstation2's controller or the xbox 360's or even Dualshock 1s then get the DS3.

Lastly this whole name calling thing in reply to some other reviews, " Sony stole Nintendo designs!" arguement etc. No they didn't, Nintendo didn't create motion sensoring! And Microsoft didn't create triggers etheir. These two inovations have been around for many years. Besides, I don't see a "wii mote design" on the box of Playstation 3, do you???? If you're going to have copying arguements then you might as well say: "Oh my god, microsoft and nintendo are using DVD, and CD and Sony created (or mostly) them." Get over it fangirls...



3 out of 5 stars Good But Tricky   August 13, 2008
A. Bennett (england)
I got my SIXAXIS controller with a brand new ps3 not knowing what it meant.When i discovered that it meant my ps3 had motion sensors i was very pleased indeed. I turned them on and found that it was very unresponsive and shuddery. It sometimes even went left when told to go right.

you'd have thought SONY would have perfected that. A nice idea but a bad one



2 out of 5 stars Sony's law Suit with Immersion has cost them a lot...   June 5, 2008

Sony's law Suit with Immersion has cost them a lot, in more ways than one. This pad is basically a PS1 pad, which was designed in 1994. Technically, it's more responsive, and has much deeper L2/R2 buttons but the loss of the rumble feature makes it feel like you're back in the dark ages. I've yet to play a game which puts the six-axis function to good use. It feels cheap (which the PS2's didn't) very light, and the charging cable is a disgusting 3 feet long! What use is that if the PS3 sits in your living room 8 feet away? Also, even when connected via USB, you still have to activate the pad, why?

Like everything else for my PS3, this seems like an 'almost but not quite' sort of effort. I'm not impressed.



2 out of 5 stars Duel Shock released soon   April 21, 2008

This control pad will soon be redundant and soon Sony will stop making them, if they havent already.

The pad feels light and flimsy. The controller does it job like every other playstation pad before it which isnt a bad thing. Yes its more refined but thats to be expected from the next gen.

The motion technology is also quite nice but i've recently imported a duel shock pad...
it doesnt feel light, has a nice weight to it and i'm just now remembering just how immersive rumble is.

An thats enough of a reason to wait till duel shock's released.

********************UPDATE ***************************

The duel shock is now available.
Its a better pad and i dont quite understand why people disagree with my review.
The sixaxis IS a very good pad.
But the duel shock will/has make it redundant.



3 out of 5 stars you can see right through it   April 7, 2008

there is two things wrong

1) it does not rumble

2) if you buy one serperatly from the PS3 and you put in front of the light you can see right through it

apart from that everything else is good
