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 3s have a vibration unit that gives the user feedback 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 on sale. Also as with the normal controllers, it does not come with a charging cable.
As normal all the six-axis system works well, although it does get a little bit hard to control when you are trying to play a game using the six-axis control system and also when the rumble function is switched on.
When I first picked up the controller, I was quite surprised at how much heavier it was when compared with an original one. It also seems to be a little big bigger to try and hold. Apart from this, it is essentially a normal controller.
The newer games that are coming out in the UK now have already been upgraded to use the Dualshock 3s full potential. Also some of the older games have updates available online to incorporate the new controller.
Current games include:-
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (Not sure about GT HD) Motorstorm (Needs update) Juiced 2 Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots Uncharted : Drake's Fortune
Overall, I would recommend this controller to anyone who has a PS3, although the release date is not confirmed yet.
After using this white controller for a while now, it has become clear that it was not a wise move. It collects all the dirt and shows up, for this reason get the black version when they come out.
Just to let you know that you can import any controller from any country and it will work with any PS3. I have now got 2 controllers that I have imported, the white one and the silver one which work fine.

The Sony Dual Shock 3 controller is the official controller of the Sony PS3. Communicating with the console via wireless, this is definitely the number one controller on the market. Used to control games, DVD's and also as a place to plug pocket sized extensions into, such as a keyboard. === ~~~ Size + Weight ~~~ ===
For someone who, I would say has medium sized hands, this controller fits perfectly. The analogue sticks are at the perfect ... ...reachable. The Dual Shock 2 is quite a bit heavier than the Sixaxis version, because of the rumble function. This is a bonus for me, because the Sixaxis controllers were slightly light. The extra weight makes the controllers seem more sturdy and reliable. === ~~~ Buttons ~~~ ===
I've had my controller for around six months now and everything is working the way it originally was. The buttons and the analogue sticks work smoothly without sticking ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony Dualshock 3 PS3 Controller
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 effect, sixaxis motion sensor, usb cable supplied Disadvantages: only a few games support vibration
when i first got my PS3 it came with the original sixaxis controller, now i believe when you buy a PS3 now the dualshock 3 comes as standard. The dualshock 3 now has a different style of material, it is more comfortable and makes your hands not feel as if you have coated them in butter. The R2 and L2 buttons have also been changed, i have noticed that they have bigger "grooves" which i think is a help to FPS (first person shooter) games. these controllers ... ...this as the controller actually sits firm in the hand. the analogue sticks are much more sensitive and seem more reliable than the sixaxis' ones, my original sixaxis controllers analogue sticks started to become stiff and squeaky after a few months. so far the dualshock 3 is keeping well. alot of people on the internet have stated that the dualshock 3 controller does not include the sixaxis feature, just to let you know IT DOES. the controller seems ...

Advantages: good handheld device, shape, connection and tilt sensor. Disadvantages: Battery life is not too great
...is the best controller that Sony could have stuck with and in actual fact they changed the PS3 controllers after a couple of months so that they were these wireless controllers. The buttons are in good places and the controller is neither too big or too small. The shape of the controller allows easy access to the R1, R2, L1 and L2 buttons on the top of the controller. The shape will also accomodate if you want two fingers on the top instead of just ... ...easy way to play many of the games that just would not be possible with the original directional buttons. Overall i would say that if you have a PS3 do not buy cheap knock-offs, get the real thing! The tilt sensor makes gameplay fun and even more interesting! ...
