The DUALSHOCK3 wireless controller for the PLAYSTATION3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user's body. The DUALSHOCK3 wireless controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller's USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the hardware at anytime.

Many of your favorite games are already compatible with the DUALSHOCK3 wireless controller. And even more titles are coming soon.

5 of 5 Not compatible with Call of Duty 3 Saturday, July 05, 2008
Abmaster from Los Angeles, CA  

Finally a rumbling controller for PS3. But alas, it is not compatible with Call of Duty 3! For some reason they have not released an update that uses the DualShock 3's features as of yet (7/5/08). What a shame. Make sure it works for your favorite games before you buy!

5 of 5 Great Controller! Tuesday, July 01, 2008
A Gamer from Orlando Florida  
I have been playing Uncharted Drake's Fortune and controller makes use of the Sixxaxis and the rumble features at the same time! Didn't know the controller would do that. Familiar feel of the other controllers with more heft, definitely more comfortable than previous model. If you were considering whether to buy one or not stop considering no substitute for the Sony.

5 of 5 Ps3 dualshock controler Friday, June 27, 2008
QMan from Houston, Texas  
Great controller, ordered one a few days before MGS 4 came out and it arrived the same day MGS4 came out. The rumble is great and I am so used to playing with rumble. The controller's charge seems to last a long time(about 25 hours a charge). Best thing about it is I can recharge the controller, no need to buy batteries.

5 of 5 Finally, a PS3 controller with vibration feedback! Monday, June 09, 2008
Neil from Chicago, IL  
When the original "Sixaxis" Playstation 3 controller was announced, and it was revealed that it would not support vibration feedback, I was disappointed to say the least. For a console that had so much other advanced hardware, and introduced vibration feedback with their original Playstation DualShock controller, this seemed like a major step back. Even if the new controller supported tilt detection, it still lacked the immersion offered by rumble-enabled controllers. Well, Sony has finally remedied this problem, and I am pleased to report that the controller performs flawlessly, offering quality vibration while retaining its tilt capabilities. Games that support vibration feedback (older titles generally require a patch) greatly benefit with the use of the DualShock 3. I am pleased to report that the controller met or succeeded all my expectations, and I would recommend it to any PS3 owner. The only negative I can think of is that fact that the controller does not come with a USB charging cable, but one comes with the PS3 system so you shouldn't have any problems charging it. If for some reason you do not have such a cable, rest assured that it is a very common cable (Mini USB) and easy to find at a local electronics store. Also, with the Google Checkout discount and free shipping, Buy.com has the best price around, so don't hesitate - get it now!

A Gamer from philadelphia pa  
What's there to say, if you enjoyed the original dualshock, this is really more of the same with bluetooth and wireless usage added. Fast shipping from Buy.com as usual.

4 of 5 Good Deal Monday, June 02, 2008
The SnowDogg from Antelope, CA  
Good quality, works great. And, with no shipping cost, you can't beat the price. The only drawback I can see is that it does not come with a charging cable, though I just use the cable that came with the PS3.

5 of 5 Great upgrade from the Sixaxis Sunday, June 01, 2008
Jason from Cincinnati, OH  
The Dual Shock 3 is a great controller. A weight that is more comfortable than the Sixaxis and the added rumble makes it more enjoyable. Getting Google Checkout helped, too.

5 of 5 Get ready to Rumble! Wednesday, May 28, 2008
A Gamer from houston, TX  
This is my second DS3 controller. I brought my first one a month ago and I really do enjoy having it. You will not be disappointed. If you have owned a PS1 and/or a PS2, then you already know the drill. Do yourself a favor and get one or two...you will be glad that you did!

5 of 5 The rumble is back again. Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Jesse from Plano, TX  
The rumble is back again. The controller is slightly heaver than the Sixaxis but the weight feels more like it should instead of the paper-light Sixaxis. The battery life is great, 300 mAh battery vs. the Sixaxis 30 mAh. This is a must buy for PS3 owners.
