I have owned a ps3 for 4 years now and no joystick comes close to this. I have used other joysticks but once you are used to sony others are very poor and spoil the gaming experience.

I for one am glad to finally get the Dual Shock 3.

Did not having it take away from my PS3 experience? No, but it's a must have none the less. As always the DualShock takes gameplay to a whole other level.

Very pleased with the product it self as my previous controller had lost ability to work wireless so I have the freedom again now. But when it got delivered the box it was delivered in was all crushed and ripped..

works; sleek; love it

packaging when delivered

I bought this additional controller so that my son can play multiplayer mode of minecraft on the same console with his friends. So far, works as expected, though I still have to test out the "dual shock" features when I play uncharted on it.

Does what it says on the pack lol! Still pricey considering there's PS4 out now and I wish they sold the pink one but never mind it does the job that's the main thing.

can not turn it on or charger it. can not request replacement online, and no respond with email.

Not much to say. It's like all other Sony Dualshock 3 controllers - consistently dependable. That said, I think the PS4 has been out long enough now that Walmart & Sony and should be dropping their price on PS3 controllers a lot more than they have.

When Sony's PlayStation 3 came out in late 2006, much was made over the fact that the new Sixaxis wireless controller that shipped with the system didn't offer any force feedback--or rumble, as the vibration feature in Sony's earlier DualShock 2 controller (for the PlayStation 2) is often called.

Wireless PS3 controller with rumble support; slightly heavier, which gives it a bit more heft than the featherlight Sixaxis controller; rumble function added to many existing games via downloadable patches

Somewhat overpriced; doesn't come with a USB cable for recharging; rechargeable battery isn't removable

Genuine Sony product. This seems to be an improvement over the bundled controller. Little stiff in the beginning, hopefully will get better over time.

I had some Staples Rewards money to use and on a whim, checked to see if they carried Playstation 3 Controllers -- and they did! I had no trouble finding the color I wanted and the regular price was significantly cheaper than any other store around.
