Sony DualShock 3 review

  by David Carnoy (cnet.co.uk) - Apr, 2008

cnet.co.uk

While it costs more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning

Slightly heavier than DualShock 2 ; Rumble function added to many existing games via downloadable patches

Somewhat overpriced ; Doesn't come with a USB cable for recharging ; Rechargeable battery isn't removable

We just hope the price of the Sony model drops closer to £20 with time

Sony DualShock 3 - black (PS3)

When Sony's PlayStation 3 came out in late 2006, much was made over the fact that the new Sixaxis wireless controller that shipped with the system didn't offer any force feedback--or rumble, as the vibration feature in Sony's earlier DualShock 2...

Wireless PS3 controller with rumble support; slightly heavier, which gives it a bit more heft than the featherlight Sixaxis controller; rumble function added to many existing games via downloadable patches

Somewhat overpriced; doesn't come with a USB cable for recharging; rechargeable battery isn't removable

While it costs a bit more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning.

Dual Shock 3 hands-on

  by James Yu (cnet.com.au) - May, 2008

cnet.com.au

How does the new Dual Shock 3 differ from the Sixaxis controller?

The fact that Sony is replacing the Sixaxis with the Dual Shock 3 makes the buying decision easier for new PS3 owners. Anyone looking for additional controllers will soon be able to buy only the Dual Shock 3 as the Sixaxis disappears from retail. Early...

Dualshock 3 controller

  by (theage.com.au) - Jun, 2008

The return of the good old rumble effect adds a touch more weight to a featherlight game pad.

In reality, this is the controller that should have been shippedwith the PS3. In that sense, the DualShock 3 can't really befaulted except when it comes to pricing.

Vibrierender PS3-Controller: Sony DualShock 3

  by David Carnoy (cnet.de) - May, 2008

cnet.de

Der DualShock 3 ist etwas zu teuer, und eigentlich hätte die PS3 die Rumble-Unterstützung von Haus aus mitbringen sollen.

schwerer als der DualShock 2; herunterladbaren Rumble-Patches für viele vorhandene Spiele

etwas hoher Preis; kein USB-Aufladekabel im Lieferumfang; Akku ist nicht auswechselbar

Die Rumble-Funktion ist hervorragend, doch eigentlich hätte dieser Controller schon im Lieferumfang der PS3 enthalten sein müssen.

It's an official PS2 pad - so it's officially stood the test of time.

It's an official PS2 pad - so it's officially stood the test of time.

As the title says, it's stood the test of time and was largely considered as perfection by the majority right up until the Xbox 360 was released. It's also an official product, which means it's no 3rd party cheap imitation. If you've seen my review of...

The proper Sony PS2 controller

The proper Sony PS2 controller

If you need a controller for your PS2, it has to be the Sony official one! The biggest difference is the smooth graduation in the analogue sticks, allowing the slowest smallest of adjustments in aiming a gun in a game! You just feel the quality!

Alright controller - but some of the buttons need to be pressed hard!!

Just got this controller for the PS3. It's alright, but there are some buttons which need to be pressed quite hard. So this one might be faulty. The PS button needs to be pressed hard and the Start button. Also, I find that the L2 and R2 buttons are...
