Amazon.com:
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. Dualshock 3 wireless controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller's USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the PlayStation 3 system at anytime.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - playstation 3 Dualshock 3 wireless controller
Sony has finally brought back the vibration to the controller. To play without one looses that extra dimention to the games. I have used it with Grand Theft Auto IV and Tom Clancy's R6V2 and won't play them without it. The grip is a bit more comfortable in my hands unlike the plain controllers.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - LIttle heavier, battery time shorter, but vibration is worth it (for games that have it).
LIttle heavier, battery time shorter, but vibration is worth it. Not all games have shock programmed in them, but for those that do it makes the gaming experience more interactive. In Grand Theft Auto for example, when there's thunder, it vibrates, when you're next to the train tracks and a trains going by, you feel it, you can even set your phone in the game to vibrate. The controller feels comfortable to use, and it's not too heavy. It's very easy to recharge with the usb cable that comes with the PS3. The weight and battery time aren't really issues. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because it's a little expensive and not all games have vibration capability, but still, I think it's worth it.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice...
Finally, the DUALSHOCK3 is what Sony should've launched long ago with the launch of the PS3. It feels heavier and more secure to handle than the normal SIXAXIS. The plastic isn't see-through like the SIXAXIS as well.

My concern was the battery life, since it's using more power for the feedback, and thankfully it didn't disappoint me. The battery cycle lasts almost the same as a normal SIXAXIS would. The feedback is not that powerful yet not weak; somewhere in the middle. But not bad at all.

Gives your new games a better experience and refreshes your old ones (if supported of course) :)


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PS3 Dualshock Controller
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.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ohhh yea its back!
It may have took a little over a year but Sony finally released a true PS3 controller. One of the things I like about the DS3 is that it seems much more sturdier and durable unlike the cheap feeling six-axis. I am currently playing gta4 and the rumble works great in it. The only downside is that not every game supports the rumble like Call of Duty 4 but that doesn't matter to me that much because the feel is what brings it all together for me. It's everything I hoped for in a controller.
