Advantages: Rumble, can be imported Disadvantages: Not out in the UK yet
I bought this controller on eBay for around £40. They are meant to be coming out early this year. I ordered a white version because everyone has the standard black controllers. Considering that the normal PS3 SIXAXIS Controllers are around £35 new, it is cheap for what you are getting. This controller will be available in both black and white.
There is only 1 big difference between the SIXAXIS and the Dualshock 3 controllers. This is that the Dualshock ... ...in some games. For example in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, when you go on the curb of the track, it rumbles until you get off it, just like driving on one in real life. You would expect the controller's battery life to be greatly reduced because of all the extra rumbling. So far I have been using it for quite a while, and I have been very impressed with the battery life on it. I would say that it is just as good as the normal SIXAXIS controllers presently ...

Advantages: nice weight, rumble effect, wireless Disadvantages: batteries need charging after long hours of play. Not supplied with charge cable.
...Dual Shock 2 for the Sony PlayStation 2.
So it's not hard to guess just how pleased i was that Sony had overcome a patent disagreement and managed to release a Dual Shock 3 controller. It has the right amount of weight in it and it doesn't affect the motion sensors in the controller either, it really does feel quite right between your hands.
The New trigger style L2 and R2 buttons remain the same as the Sixaxis but whether or not you like these ... ...of the cable you got with the sixaxis otherwise you'll be stuck for charging it. In saying that, any Small to large USB cable will do really.
This is all in all a big improvement over the Sixaxis Controller and was a good call by Sony to release this ...

Advantages: rumble is natural, extra weight, makes it feel better in hand Disadvantages: the cost
I recently bought this controller because i needed another so i could play multiplayer games and i prefer this controller extreamly more than the original sixaxis. the rumble has vastly improved from the days of the dualshock 2 as it isnt as put on. Now it is more natural. I would recommend this controller to anyone as the rumble improves the gaming experiance. also the controller is heavier which makes it feel better in your hands. The only downside ...

Advantages: motion sensative, duel shock, wireless, lots of power, triggers, ps button, and more Disadvantages: short rechargeable cord, xbox 360 design is better, £35
Well it is obvious that the PS3 controller is an essential to when it comes to playing PS3 games but with the motion sensitivity and the duel shock (rubble) it really does make the controller more than just a button presser. the controller is wireless and holds a lot of power and is really quick to recharge, you don’t need batteries like the Xbox 360s controller and with new R2 and L2 triggers, it makes it better for racing (you don’t have to got ... ...also feels like a gun trigger. The analogue sticks have been improved with a better designed and the arrows buttons are tighter unlike the PS2 controller where they had too much space to hold them. The controller comes with a USB connecter to charge it and the best thing is you can charge will you play. The controller is more weighted which is a good thing, makes it more realistic to the six axis controller which is too light and easy to break. the ...

I was dissapointed when they PS3 came out that it did not have a working controller which included vibration. So when i bought one of these when they first came out i was praying that it was worth the extra £10/$15. Overall it creates a much more enjoyable gaming experience, that i think involves you more in the game and helps in those intense moments to bring it all to life. Looking a bit more in to it, you will notice that if you use one that the ... ...lot heavier , 1/4 heavier than the origninal. I personally think that this gives it more feel than the oringinal but that is my opinion. If you want to get one of these controllers i reccomend that you only get one if you have the money or if you need to but an additional controller as the price tag will go down over time, but the other controllers will now go down in price as they will be put in the dark. ...
