Manufacturer's Description
The newly designed SIXAXIS wireless controller for the PlayStation 3 system enables gamers to harness the potential of the world's most powerful computer entertainment console. Developed by refining the popular original PlayStation controller, the de facto standard in gaming with several hundred millions units sold worldwide, the SIXAXIS controller features motion-sensing technology to detect natural and intuitive movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user's body.

The SIXAXIS controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless gameplay and the controller's USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the hardware at anytime. Furthermore, unlike other interactive controllers, the SIXAXIS controller is easy to set-up and is compatible with today's monitors and televisions.

By integrating all these features into the original PlayStation controller design, Sony Computer Entertainment, together with content developers, plans to further enhance the gameplay experience of next generation computer entertainment.

Customer Reviews

taking a risk with seconhand products
I bought a secondhand sony 6axis and was very disapointed as did not work properly, so cauiton don't pay to much for seconds and dont be surprised if they are faulty

SIXAXIS - Pricy and Flimsy
The PS3 remote looks a lot like the PS2 remote but will not stand a drop on to a laminate floor!
My son dropped his and made it "rattle", I took the back off and couldn't believe how many small parts are inside, (unlike the the PS2 remote).
Yes it is a good remote to use and seems to hold its charge for a long time but considering the console's high build quality and the price of new controllers, it should be as robust as the old PS1/PS2 controllers, (certainly not made for throwing whilst playing a frustrating game)!

far to fragile
these controllers are not nearly as good as x box 360's ..i bought my ps3 2 months ago and the left joystick is now worn out..in 8 weeks!! thats not really any use is it?

needs sorting out to be able to handle the use it is ment to be design for....

even when it worked it was much harder to aim with...
