5 out of 5 stars Six-axis   February 15, 2007
 32 out of 42 found this review helpful

This is the great new controller for the sony ps3. As its name suggests it has six-axis which is capable of capturing the controllers movement in the gamers hands. Though the loss of rumble is a downpoint of the control it makes up for the loss with six-axis a device in the controller which tracks your every movement and realays it to the ps3 and allows you to use the control in a way to play the game differently. eg. in resistance you can shake the control to get the chimera out of your face after they jump on you.

There are six-axis. 1)Roll which is the tilt of the controller from left to right. 2) pitch determines whether the front or back of the controller is facing up or down 3) Yaw means how much you have rotated the controller left to right. 4)x-axis forwards and back. 5) y-axis left and right. 6)z-axis up and down. these are the six-axis the controller will compute to let you feel more in the game.

Another new feature of the six-axis is the ps button which allows you to turn on the ps3 from sleep mode and allows you to connect the controller to the ps3 wirelessly. it will also let you control the menu whilst playing a game. eg. similar to xbox-360 menu which provides options such as return to the main menu.

A great thing about the ps3 is it allows up to seven controllers to be able to connect to the ps3. If you are player 1 to 4 for example a light will appear on the top of your controller to tell you what number you are. Whereas 5-7 you have to add up eg. for player 5 the light under number 1 will light up and the light under 4 to show you are player 5.

Have great fun with this new, fantastic controller i know i did



5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Controller but wait for Dualshock 3!   January 31, 2008
 6 out of 8 found this review helpful

The SIXAXIS controller is fantastic very light,does not feel uncomfortable and its brilliantly designed. BUT if you can wait for the Dualshock 3 then do! as you will have rumble again! :) it is due out spring this year in Europe. The Dualshock 3 will weigh a bit heavier but not much and it will have everything the SIXAXIS has but with rumble as well! So overall if your desperate for another controller buy this one, but if you can wait, buy the Dualshock 3!


5 out of 5 stars No problems with it   February 11, 2008

I do not understand why people complain about this control. It isn't that bad. It's just a control and you play games with it. OK it doesn't have rumble but it isn't something t be missed that much, motion sense is better for me. It is a good control that allows to play my games.


5 out of 5 stars Greatest Controller of All Time   April 13, 2007
 11 out of 16 found this review helpful

This controller combines classic design, revolutionary controlling, incredibly light and very long lasting and quick charging battery. The SIXAXIS beats the analogue sticks for control by far, racing games have never been as enjoyable and accurate. The battery charges within an hour and a half and lasts 30+ hours. I personally haven't noticed the loss of Dual shock because my PS2 controller's Dual Shock has been broken for years. Great controller I prefer it to the 360's and Wii's Controllers


5 out of 5 stars Good pad   October 29, 2007
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

i have no idea why people dislike this pad, its the same as the ps2, which is a very good pad. and to the person who said they got sued for dual shock, they are dumb, dual shock was their own design, what they got sued for was the motion sensor and that was by nintendo, so get your facts right you idiots, i will admit the pad isnt as responsive as it could be with the motion sensor but it works fine, its a nice pad, light and comfortable, and who cares if it doesnt vibrate, that was just anoying and i always turned it off, not like it makes things anymore real, like WOW explosions feel like a pad rumbling in your hand..., ya sure, the pad works and is very comfortable, if you like the ps2 pads, you like this
