Customer Reviews

Duel Shock released soon
This control pad will soon be redundant and soon Sony will stop making them, if they havent already.

The pad feels light and flimsy. The controller does it job like every other playstation pad before it which isnt a bad thing. Yes its more refined but thats to be expected from the next gen.

The motion technology is also quite nice but i've recently imported a duel shock pad...
it doesnt feel light, has a nice weight to it and i'm just now remembering just how immersive rumble is.

An thats enough of a reason to wait till duel shock's released.

you can see right through it
there is two things wrong

1) it does not rumble

2) if you buy one serperatly from the PS3 and you put in front of the light you can see right through it

apart from that everything else is good

Sticky X button
I bought my PS3 system about a year ago, I already have 2 Six-Axis controllers with sticking X buttons Grrrrr!! Good controller but made the quality of a Kinder Egg Toy inside. Yeah, i decided to take one apart to see what was going on inside!! I hope the system itself is more durable.
