Playstation 3 Controller : These Controllers Are Fragile, Beware!!
Some User Reviews…
I am about to have to purchase my third Playstation 3 Controller after they literally keep falling apart in my hands. I don’t drop them or attempt to inflict damage on them in any way but they keep breaking. On my first two controllers the springs for the triggers broke and now on the third one, the plastic shell has been breaking off piece by piece.
I never had this problem with PS2 controllers, these Playstation 3 Controller are very fragile and not worth the price.

Playstation 3 Controller DS3 – Not ‘Exactly’ Like DS2
This is a must for your PS3, however, it is not exactly the same as the PS3 DualShock2. It does feel heavier than the SIX-AXIS, and the rumble feature does suck up the battery life (not TOOO bad, but still).
I like it, specially with GT5 Prologue, couldn’t image playing a racing or fighting game without the force feedback function…

Playstation 3 Controller – The PS3 Is Perfect And So Are The Controls
OK, now we’re in the generation of gaming with motion sensitive controlling, which has become a worldwide phenomena thanks to the Wiii. With the PS3 Sony have utilised the motion sensitive gaming whilst keeping the conventionally easy Playstation 3 Controller. The SIXAXIS controls of the PS3 pad allow game producers to implement certain motion sensitive aspects to their games, without it becoming too much for those less active gamers.
The Playstation 3 Controller Dualshock have been a part of the Playstation generation since the beginning and now they have the Dualshock 3. A controller that reacts with vibrations at certain instances within the game. Say if you’re using the SIXAXIS while playing a driving game, you’re steering the car with the motion sensing turned on, and you collide with a wall. The pad would vibrate with the same level of ferocity of how you hit the wall, in a sense giving you that additional level of realism.
The battery life and size are also something I want to touch upon with the wireless PS3 pads. A full charge can literally give you more than 12 hours of solid gaming, and when compared to the wireless XBOX360 pads, the PS3 version is minute. It’s light and just generally easy to hold when compared to the bulky and annoying XBOX360 pad.
If you have a PS3, you should definitely own a wireless pad. So buy it.

Sony PS3 Motion Sensing Controller E3 2009 NEW
Ps3 Console – It Keeps Getting Better!
Looks very nice its lighter and like the add says “it only does everything”.
The only issue I have so far is that cheap HDMI cables(it keeps loosing signal or green lines in the background), Ps3 Console Slim and a samsung tv wont get alone!…I test it with my old PS3 Console and multiple HDMI cables and I still don’t get the right answer of wats not compatible…I will update with more info in the next couple of days!(apparently it has something to do with the bravia link or the HDMI profile!)….up date 1 sep 08: ok after testing the slim in another tv(sony) I came to this conclusion; use only category 2 and 1.3 version of hdmi cables when conecting to a samsung tv…that fix it for me
Unfortunately when you want to review something you have to compared it with its competition the xbox 360…believed or not I had one… had it for like a year and the only problem I had with it besides the things I don’t like about it was the sticky tray!
So here it goes
You think PS3 Console is bigger…think again 360 is bigger! put the power brick the hd dvd add on the charging kit the cooling fan and those huges cables all together and something has to come out of you room!
The 360 is noisy as hell and the heat is insane!
hardware issues left and right staring with the rrod! price….to get close to the value u get with the PS3 Console on the xbox u r looking to spend over $500 and still you can get blu-ray!
$60 for online gaming…. PS3 Console is free
HD player …the cheapest is like 180…or you can get a PS3 Console with blu-ray for 299….
…and the list goes on and on….but the thing that bothers me the most is HOW THA HELL MICROSOFT AVOID A RECALL…with the worst failure rate in electronic history!…only one thing come to my mind…pay offs and influence….
…yes… I may sound like a fanboy but prof me wrong!
Overall….there is not excuse for not to buy a PS3!
PS3 Console – Drawbacks Keep It From Its Potential
On its own, it’s a pretty good console; compared to other consoles – even previous PS3 Console – it’s lacking.
I preordered the PS3 Console slim and had it on the release day. I was excited because I always wanted one, but couldn’t justify spending $450 on another console. As an owner of numerous consoles (PS1, PS2, NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Dreamcast, Xbox 360) and an avid gamer, I was super stoked to follow the rumors about it in the weeks coming up to Gamescom; I was finally going to get my hands on a PS3 Console.
I wouldn’t say I was completely disappointed, but I’m going to list the pros and cons.
HD cable? – nope, it just comes with composite connectors (Yellow, Red, White)
Features rolled back – Previous PS3 Console had memory stick slots, Backwards compatibility, and even the ability to run Linux.
Controller shape (thanks fanboys) – The Dualshock controller for the PS1 made sense. When the hands grip the controller, the natural postition for the thumbs to fall were the dpad and the button group. This made sense because most games at the time used the dpad for most movement. Newer games almost all use the left analog stick for movement, and Microsoft and Nintendo figured that out LAST GENERATION. So to use the controller, you have to put your hands in an unnatural position. This is my single biggest problem with the PS3 Console.
Anywho
It plays Blu ray discs – both good and bad actually. For a home theater it’s absolutely awesome! Problem is, as a game console it makes the games take a LOOONG time to load. So much that I will not buy cross-platform games for the PS3 Console; I already made that mistake once.
The game library is actually really good (finally) – I’ve been playing Infamous, MGS4, Resistance: Fall of Man, and I even downloaded the Little big planet Demo and Flower from the Playstation store. I still think the Xbox360 has more good games, but that doesn’t mean the PS3 Console doesn’t have a bunch.
It is very quiet and also a fairly good looking little machine.
It hase Wifi built in – Not necessary for me because I prefer to use ethernet cable for its reliability, but nice for those who can’t run a cable directly to the console.
Overall, this gets 3/5. If I weren’t comparing it to anything else it would probebly get a 5. The problem is that games play and look better on the Xbox 360, they also feel better due to its more ergonomic controller design. I think Sony should stop listening to their fans (who are going to love them no matter what) and try to find out why people prefer the 360.

Ps3 Dualshock Wireless Controller – Lets Get Ready To Rumble!
Awesome controller but wish Sony had this on day 1 with the PS3′s launch. It works with Playstation, Playstation 2, and Playstation 3 games that support the rumble feature. One thing I will notice about this controller is that its a little heavier than the SixAxis controller which felt light since it lacked the rumble feature.
The only problem I with the DS3 controller is that the R2 button trigger got stuck in the Ps3 Controller. I only had the controller for a year and this happens. I take good care of my Ps3 Dualshock Wireless Controller but luckily ordered one from Amazon for $42 since it was 50% off video-game accessories. I still have my SixAxis and have yet to have problems with it from stop working.
PS3 Dualshock Wireless Controller – Great Controllers
PS3 Dualshock Wireless Controller is a really good controller. I have used it on many games and am very happy with it. But when it says down in the product features “plus USB-USB mini cable for play-and-charge” Note: it does NOT come with a cable. You have to use the one that comes with the game system or buy a charging system as well.
PS3 Dualshock Wireless Controller – A Little Let Down
I was seriously hoping this would be like the PS2 blue controller and be see through which I think is cool, I love being able to see all the wires it just looks cool but this one is solid and I was let down. The PS3 Dualshock Wireless Controller as a piece of equipment for the PS3 works very well though, I had no problem syncing it with my ps3 and oddly enough the battery was fully charged when I got it. Though it is kind of stupid that I have to buy another charging cord for it and it didn’t come with one.
