5 out of 5 stars Something so simple adds so much   July 16, 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!

The DualShock 3 is a vast improvement on the Sixaxis. The buttons feel much better and the controller in general feels of higher quality.

It is great to have a controller with vibrate and although it is subtle, it does enhance the game. Highly Recommended.



5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!   July 24, 2008

I ordered myself on of these just last week and I am glad that I did.

Don't get me wrong, the sixaxis controls are good, and you might think "why would I need dualshock, its fine without"...well then fairenough, but you do realised a vast difference!
When i've been using the dualshock control and then I switch to using my sixaxis one it just seems so dull because you get no feedback from the game

So anyway, I reccomend you order one of these, well worth the money! (especially with it not being much more than a sixaxis one)



5 out of 5 stars Perfect   August 14, 2008

I bought an extra controller for my ps3 about a week after I bought my ps3, I decided it would be worth having to make the ps3 more useful and I was really really right.

These controllers are absolutely one hundred percent brilliant in every way. There so light, the charge lasts what seems like forever and their so easy to use. The new system for the front buttons on these controllers is great, it makes them easier to control and much better for light use. The analog buttons are as great if not greater than they were on the old controllers, they feel natural and comfortable in your hand.

The system for using more than one controller on the ps3 is perfect, just press the PS button and you can assign the controller to whichever level you like, 1,2,3 or 4.

Even if you dont play with other people its great to have a second controller so you can always have one on charge while your playing so you never have to play with the controller on a wire.

So, if you like playing games with other people this controller is the oerfect second controller to buy and if your on your own its still great to have the second controller. The price tage seems reasonable to me for the extra fun you can have from this. 35 pounds is not money wasted on something this useful! Get yourself one and you wont regret it!



5 out of 5 stars Now that feel better   July 30, 2008

The Sixaxis controller always felt too light and detached from the game play.
The Dualshock 3 feels sturdier and the rumble brings back an element of feedback.
A worthy replacement for the stock PS3 controllers.
