and more intuative ways of use.
Overall the Sixaxis controller has a very sturdy build quility a very comfortable design, which hasn't changed since the PS1 whcih i think is great because it was perfect and there is no need to change something that ain't broke and is loved by many.

Advantages: Battery Life / Charge Times ; Nice Size Disadvantages: Squeaking / Sticking
4-5 hours I would say without needing re-charged and once they do it only takes about half an hour for full battery life to be resumed.
For me the actual sixaxis function isn't that important. Unless a PS3 version of Wii Sports comes out then I don't see that much use for this function. Virtua Tennis allows sixaxis to be used, but you also have to control the player by tilting the controller, which is very difficult.

If you are thinking about buying, my advice is to see one first and have a go with one. They are fast and it's a lot of money to spend if you dont like them.
In some areas people take this ...

Nitrotek are proud to announce that we have been appointed the exclusive UK distributors for the latest 1/5th petrol radio controlled cars from XRC Racing. Until now rc cars that run on actual petrol have been very expensive with prices starting at over £700 that made them a very specialist and exclusive product.

These petrol cars run on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station.
