5 out of 5 stars Amazing Get One   June 7, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Immediately after getting it out of the box you can tell the Dualshock 3 is high quality. Unlike the Sixaxis the Dualshock 3 is very sturdy and doesn't feel like it is about to fall apart. The weight is perfect noticeably heavy than the Sixaxis, which is a good thing as the Sixaxis always felt too light.

God I've missed a rumble feature, the controller's rumble is slightly less than its predecessor's, however the rumble is excellent. Playing Warhawk I can tell from which direction I was being shot at just from the rumble and games such as Uncharted can't really be appreciated fully until you've played it with a rumble feature. The controller holds its charge just as well as the Sixaxis and we easily last 20 hours before needing to charge it.

Although not officially released in the UK, I really suggest getting a dualshock 3 (imported ones still work with a UK PS3). Dualshock 3 really adds to the whole gaming experience, a must buy for the PS3.



5 out of 5 stars Something so simple adds so much   July 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The Sixaxis was a good little gimmick on the original controller but the addition of the vibration feature in the DualShock 3 is a much needed one.

You may think, "oh, the only difference is that the controller vibrates" which is true but it makes such a difference - the vibration is improved on the PS2's and feels a little more subtle in my opinion. Every bump and crash in a racing game can be felt, on shooting games it feels like you really are shooting etc.

I thought when using the Sixaxis controller that I wouldn't miss the vibration and most of the time I didn't but buy this product and you won't look back and you will be thinking, "why didn't I buy one earlier?"

Something so simple really does add so much and the only other comparison with the Sixaxis is that the DualShock 3 is slightly heavier and the battery doesn't last as long. However, I believe the added weight is a positive and rids the 'cheap' feel of the Sixaxis. Regarding the battery, it will still last you between 3 - 5 hours.

Overall, a great product and a must-have for all PlayStation 3 owners - get one now - don't wait for the UK release.



5 out of 5 stars Rumble Controller   February 7, 2008
 2 out of 5 found this review helpful

I use only the rumble controller with my ps3. I find it a must to improve the gaming experience and even though it doesn't rumble on all games, I'm sure it will on the games coming out now. A friend told me however that it doesn't work on the 40Gb version of the ps3, maby someone can confirm on that.


5 out of 5 stars essential!   April 19, 2008
I got one for 35 inc. posting from amazon, thats only 7 more than the normal controller. It worked out of the box with GT5 prologue.

It improves the game 100%. It is slighlty more solid in the hand, and had me grining from ear to ear within 2 minutes. Don't bother waiting for it to come out in the UK, when your not really paying much of a premium and can get it within 2 days.



5 out of 5 stars What Sony should have in the market long ago.   April 23, 2008
This controller makes the ps3 games a lot more enjoyable and fun, and it is way overdue in my opinion.

Slightly heavier than the original, which is actually better as it feels like a solid controller, not a fake one like its counterpart.

Works great with all games I've tried, even older ones like Lost Planet. An example for Lost Planet is that the controller shakes accordingly to how much firepower you have. If you're firing your machine gun, the shake is average. If you're firing two mini-guns from a turret your hands will be trembling!

Overall, a great controller. Try it and you'll never go back.
