The Playstation 2’s highly regarded DualShock 2 controller was considered by many to be the best videogame controller of all time. So when you’ve got a winning design there’s no need to change anything. However, because of a legal battle with Immersion over rumble technology, Sony was forced to offer their Sixaxis controller without rumble. The Sixaxis had the same Dualshock design but it felt too lightweight and cheap. Thankfully the lawsuit has been settled and rumble has come back to the Playstation.

For the most part, the DualShock 3 is almost identical to its PS2 precessor. But it has all the features of the original Sixaxis controller in addition to rumble. The Playstation Controller 3 is still wireless, can be charged by plugging it into your PS3 (or PC), rumble is compatible with all PS1 and PS2 games, and the PS3 supports up to 7 controllers at the same time via bluetooth.

Rumble in the Playstation Controller 3 DualShock 3 seems more responsive in regards to the location of its vibration depending on which side you get hit on during the games. I don’t know if this is something in the design or if it’s the developers doing it for the games but I welcome it.

All in all this is currently the best designed controller on the market right now. The PS2’s DS2 was incredible so “if it aren’t broke, don’t fix it” applies here. I’ll be enjoying rumble in my PS3 games from now on.

Playstation Controller 3 – Best Controller Ever Made in My Opinion,

Honestly, words cannot say how much more I love this controller compared to the Sixaxis wireless Playstation Controller 3 for the PS3. I actually got my DualShock 3 imported from Japan back in February and have used it all the time on my PS3. I have only played with the Dual Shock for PS2 and PS1 games though and not PS3 games yet since I only have 2 games that do not support rumble for the system. I can say that the Rumbling feature is 100% the same as the Dual Shock 2 for the PS2!

First off, the weight difference is significant compared to the Sixaxis. You can tell no doubt which controller is which once you pick up both a Sixaxis and Dual Shock 3.

Second, they now have 3 different colors for the controller which is pretty sweet cause now you can buy the controller in Silver, Black, and White.

Now, to review on the rumbling itself, well, IT’S AWESOME!!! It’s 100% accurate once something happens in a game where the controller is supposed to rumble and it gives you that feeling of awesomeness when playing games that have the rumble feature.

The ONLY con I have to say about this Playstation Controller 3 is that sometimes it can drain the battery a bit quickly, but hey, I would take this controller 100 times as much compared to the Sixaxis.

Overall, no doubt this product deserves 100 stars, but I can only give it 5.
