5 out of 5 stars Wireless Perfection   November 18, 2008
If you've used a Sony Playstation at any point over the last 10 or so years you pretty much know what to expect with the Dualshock 3. The size, shape and layout of the DS3 is almost identical to the original Dualshock controller that was released for the Playstation 1. Chances are if you liked using any of the previous Sony brand controllers you'll also enjoy using the Dualshock 3. Similarly, if any of the previous Dualshock controllers weren't quite right for you then you'll probably dislike the DS3.

Slight changes have been made to the shoulder buttons and the addition of a'PS' button allows for quick start-up and shutdown of the PS3 as well as access to the PS3 X-Cross Media Bar.

The L2 & R2 shoulder buttons are now less 'button' and more 'trigger'. Personally I'm mixed on the new layout. The trigger design works great in certain games such as racing games; but can be less than perfect for platforming or action games.

The DS3 features the exact same motion sensitivity featured in the Sony SIXAXIS controller for the PS3. The major addition of the DS3 being the rumble feature. In using the DS3 for approximately 6 months it has become my controller of choice. Simply put the DS3 offers a level of immersion into games that the SIXAXIS cannot offer. The actual amount of rumble varies from game to game and many games even offer the ability to adjust the rumble feedback.

Also improved over the SIXAXIS is the feel of the DS3 controller. Because of the added weight afforded by the rumble mechanism the DS3 feels heavier and more appropriate than the lightweight SIXAXIS.

Because the DS3 is wireless it relies on a built-in battery to power the controller. Battery life is comparable to that afforded by the SIXAXIS which is approximately 8-10 hours. In my experience charging the DS3 to a full charge takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

The DS3 relies on Blutooth technology to power the wireless feature. Range is excellent and advertised to be about 30ft. Suffice to say that I've never experienced a problem with regards to wireless range.

All told the DS3 is the premier Playstation controller. Well built and sturdy the controller will last through many gaming sessions. I highly recommend the DS3 to any gamer.

I wasn't happy with it because I ordered a PS-3 and never received it. So now i'm stuck with some thing I can't use.What happened to the PS -3? I didn't get a review for that. I was not treated fairly on this.Why didn't I receive the PS-3 i ORDERED?????????????


4 out of 5 stars As advertised...   November 14, 2008
Well, this thing is very familiar. The controller feels better because it's got a little more heft and weight. But the battery runs out probably twice as fast, whereas I charged my Sixaxis about once a week, I'm charging the Dual Shock 3 probably twice a week. And I thought I remember Sony and Immersion talking about how they had some "new and more precise" rumble technology, so far it feels like the old same stuff. The only reason I bought this thing was because of the amazing sale Amazon had.


5 out of 5 stars Pretty much what I expected   November 9, 2008
If you had the ps2 dualshock2 controller then nothing is going to change that much. The dualshock3 gives pretty strong vibration for being wireless, comparable to the dualshock2. I know for a fact that a full charge will last at least 7 hours (I haven't tested beyond 7 hours). It's a fair bit heavier than the normal ps3 sixaxis controllers as you might expect. The only real cons I can think of is that Sony should have rolled these babies out with the release of the ps3, and the price.
