Review by NAR for DualShock 3 PS3 controller (PS3)

I gave myself the choice to buy a Dualshock 3 or a game, and to be honest i was torn between it, i mean c’mon £40 for a control pad that just has the rumble feature added to it!
But i made the choice to get a Dualshock 3 and i admit i was slightly dissapointed with it at first, until i tried playing a game with the Sixaxis again, that is.
There is such a huge difference with entertainment in games with the Dualshock 3, i adore the controller now! and to be honest im not sure i could play with the Sixaxis again!
There a plenty of noticable differences:
It has rumble (obviously)
It is heavier, but not dramitically heavier, it makes the control feel much better and as others say not as cheap.
It has different plastic case, the Sixaxis is all shiny and slippery while the Dualshock 3 has a less shiny case and is much more firm to hold, its a small difference but it makes the control pad a hell of alot better!
The analog sticks are much easier to press in, a little push and it will go in.
The L2 and R2 buttons are slightly more inwards then the Sixaxis and they feel harder to push in, which feels much better in my opinion.
What can i say about the Dualshock 3? Well i can not play on my PS3 without it now, if you have a choice between a game and a Dualshock 3, absolutely go for the Dualshock, its a small difference but makes the PS3 just that much better to play on!
Buy one! or two, or three, its up to you!

I wasn’t sure whether or not to bother paying out for one of these imported Dualshock 3 controllers but I am so glad that I eventually did.
GT 5 Prologue swayed me as there just wasn’t any form of feedback from the original six axis controller which in my opinion really hurt the game. However with one of these the game is vastly improved the rumble is very subtlety used more so than with the older Dualshock 2s on the PS2.
You can feel the gear changes, rumble strips, collisions and even the weight of the car shifting. This alone has made it a worthwhile purchase for me. Also many other games are supported and the list is growing quickly.
Even Resistance Fall of Man is much improved with the rumble feature though you have to get the rumble update via the latest multiplayer patch as it does not auto update for the rumble features.
Seeing as there will be a considerable wait until they officially launch in the UK my advice splash out and treat yourselves you won’t regret it. Happy gaming.

Here are some other improvements I have noticed over the old Sixaxis pad :
- The plastic case is not so shiny, and feels less slippery if greasy.
- The plastic case is stronger and doesn’t creak.
- The L2 and R2 triggers seem slightly easier to press in and the plastic is more grippy, so your fingers don’t slip off so much.
- Clicking the analog sticks in feels slightly easier.
Obviously it also rumbles, and don’t worry about the extra weight, it’s not much different to a Dual Shock 2.

The new DualShock 3 controller is well worth the investment.
The contoller is slightly heavier than the sixaxis [which is still retained] because of the inclusion of rumble motors. The rumble itself is more subtle than the DualShock 2. Most games support the vibration including the PS 1+2 titles played on PS3. The effect on the battery life is hardly noticeable.
The new pad does improve the gaming experience and it is far more comfortable than the PS2 pad. Worth the money I say.

Just received my dualshock 3, connected it up with condemned 2 and it works a dream. It’s slightly heavier than the sixaxis standard controller, but it makes games have more of a controlled feel and better understanding to when you are getting hit or fired upon. I could not wait for the uk release, so therefore i ordered it from asia through an amazon british based company, and why sony did’nt sort out the legal side out to get this dualshock to be released when the ps3 came out is beyond me.
