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

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...

A naff Controller.
Ok, for starters will say to people who complain that there is no rumble feature. Its a 6-Axis controller if it had a rumble feature it would be registered as movement and effect your game. Duh!

But anyway to my review. The only thing that i like about this controller is that it is light...thats all i like. It feels a bit small and it also feels like it would snap in half if i gripped it too tightly. I do not liek the shoulder buttons, the lower ones feel like they would break easily...guess what!? They did. Now i have an Xbox 360 so i play that a lot more that my PS3, so i left the controller in my drawer (with nothing on top of it may I add), i got a game for my PS3 as it had the expansions free for the PS3...when i went to play it...the R2 + L2 buttons wouldn't respond...there was a lot i could not do. I have no idea why they broke and i don't really want to fork out £30 pounds to play a game that cost me £20. i am very disappointed.

Ahead of its time.
This controller has features that best the wii and xbox 360 and is extremely light.
