Works like the Dualshock 2 but wireless - Reviewed on 2008-12-03

This is a sturdy controller made by Sony, and is the official controller. It is bluetooth, syncs instantly, and works with all games. Not all games will be dualshock vibration compatible, but the controller works with all games on the PS3.

When playing vibration intensive games like Call of Duty World's at War, you will feel how great and powerful the vibration is. The constant gunfire will vibrate till your hands get numb.

If you are looking to get another PS3 controller, get the Sony made one. It's trusted, and guaranteed to work.

I purchased this as a present for my husband, and am mostly happy with what I have. As many reviews have stated, Dualshock is a much better experience for playing games than the original sixaxis.

My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a USB cord to charge it. That being said, the great thing about PS3 is that it isn't proprietary and will take any usb cord.

Overall, a good purchase.
Great item. - Reviewed on 2008-12-01

The controller has a heavier feel to it than the issued one for PS3. What can I say that wasn't mentioned on other reviews. This product works great. My only gripe is that PS3 should have made the dualshock the issued controller.

The controller works beautifully,and the extra weight on the controller doesn't make much of a difference. Though it does feel a bit sturdier than the non-dualshock ones.
