Discount PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller

The most obvious flaw about this controller is the lack of rumble. Does sixaxis make up for it? No, because sixaxis is hardly even used in any of the games out today. And the games that you do use the sixaxis function in, is only a minor aspect of the game and its controls.

That said, the controller is lightweight. And I do like the fact that it uses USB cables, for charging and playing while connected -- and I like the fact that it's an internal battery, unlike the XBox 360.

Another flaw are the L2/R2 buttons. Sony has now modified them like "triggers." Although I agree that the L2/R2 buttons should be made like triggers (for shooting/racing games), as opposed to buttons (PS1, PS2); Sony did not make these "triggers" to fit comfortably in the contours of your fingers. XBox and XBox 360 controllers have their trigger buttons actually shaped like gun triggers, which not only makes shooting games feel more realistic, but its trigger-like crevice fits naturally into the contours of your fingertips. With the PS3 controller, the semi-outwardly-rounded surface of the L2/R2 buttons is essentially the same as the PS1/PS2 controller, except the buttons "pull" in like a trigger rather than presses. The fact that these buttons are not "indented" like a trigger allows for your fingers to slip from the L2/R2 buttons, instead of sitting comfortably within the crevice of the triggerl ike on the XBox 360.

That said, the analog sticks feel much more flexible than the PS2 analog sticks, which is great. The function with the central button (with the "PS" logo) to access the menu screen, assign internal memory card slots, assign the controller, power on/off the PS3, etc., is a nice adaptation (pretty much the same function as the central button on the XBox 360 or the "home" button on the Nintendo Wii). It's lightweight, easy to use, and will be familiar to people that played the PS2 and/or PS1.

If it had rumble, and its triggers were creviced like triggers, then this would be a superior controller to the XBox 360. Both are nice controllers, but the slight edge goes to XBox 360.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.

Cheapest PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller

This is an awsome controller, some of the great features:

Six Axis sensitivity, allows the PS3 to know where the controller is in "thin air".

No tremor/rumble; This is a great feature, as I don't like the tremor anyway.

Light; Yes LIGHT, great for extended play.

Ease of use; It's familiar to those with the PS2 controller, though I think this one is laid out better, it just feels better in my hand.

Wireless; Although I do have some issues with the Blue Tooth loosing connectivity, it's clearly the best technology for wireless controllers.

Web Surfing; It's the easiest thing to surf the web with, except for the Wiimote.

Doesn't look like it came out of a gum-ball machine like the XBOX 360 controller.

All in all, it's a great contoller. Get this controller if you have a PS3, if you don't have a PS3, get one and get this controller!Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.

Cheap PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller

I was so tiring of me or other people tripping over the cords so I thank the Sony and Sixaxis company for making this controller. Also, You gotta love the tilt function and lightweight of the controller. Kind of upset that it doesnt have vibration but then again it surely makes up for it with its tilt sensativity. Try the controller w/ Call of Duty 3, you swing the right side of the controller forward and he'll hit them with a melee attack.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.

...and what could that be? RUMBLE! I really disappoints me that Sony didn't announce this at E3. Without it, the controller is very light and feels cheap. Also, I don't really care for the triggers. It seems like they were tacked on at the last moment. They feel crunchy and they make sounds that a controller thats been thrown around too much would make...if that makes sense. Other then that, it's a pretty decent controller. Obviously, improvements can be made and hopefully they'll surprise us with an announcement at TGS 07'.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.

This controller works great. It is lightweight, holds a charge for quite some time, and feels fantastic in the hands. I also have an Xbox and every time I pick up this controller I remember how well it fits in the hand. The lack of a rumble effect is the only thing that keeps it from getting 5 stars.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.

Works fine. But as my second controller, I was disappointed that it didn't come with a USB cable to recharge it. So much for (easily) charging both controlelrs at once.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 Wireless Sixaxis Controller.
