The PS2 controller was one of my all-time favorite controllers, so it is with a bit of disappointment that I say that the new PS3 controller is a few notches down from it's predecessor.
Kudos for its Bluetooth wireless capability, as well as its relatively fast charging capabilities; it's too bad that the PS3 must always be on in order for it to charge.
The new trigger shoulder buttons stink, frankly, as they just aren't well-designed; they become flat-out uncomfortable when played for an extended period of time.
Also, I feel the controller is perhaps TOO light, as it has almost an empty feel to it.
Due to legal issues, there is no "rumble" feature on the newest PS3 controllers (a big loss in my book); in its place stands the "Sixaxis" motion sensor feature.
"Sixaxis" has yet to impress me; it feels tacked on and gimmicky (and pales in execution when compared to the similarly-equipped Nintendo "Wii-mote").
In the end, "Sixaxis" is hardly a fair trade-off for rumble (aka "Dual Shock"), a feature I've come to really appreciate in gaming controllers; I really do miss it (yeah, yeah, I know, "In the future...!" Yawn!).
As it stands now, the Xbox 360 controller is now my favorite game console controller. In the future, I hope the new upcoming Dual-Shock 3 controller will rectify these issues.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.
