    Good for the price

    Pros - Lights up, clear, good batt life. Cons - joysticks are stiffer than the duelshock III. Makes a diff when you play COD. With the OEM, it feels looser. With this one it makes your reaction a split sec too slow..which makes a diff in that type of game. Got it as a 2nd controller for the kids. Got it cheap on a trade in so cant complain too much.

    Good wireless PS3 controller

    I picked it up today and it works well. I read that someone said they cannot play when it is charging, I think it is not correct. You can use both USB ports, one for charging wire, the other for connector. I played games in this way. So far so good.

    The Boss of game Controllers

    This is a very good PS3 controller the wireless works perfectly but since I have the slim of the PS3 I only have two USB ports. The LEDs work perfectly and it is riged on the bottom so it is very comfortable. Finally they make one in XBox 360 style.

    Fun controller

    Same as the regular controllers but it lights up so the kids think it's cool when the room lights are off or dim. Cheaper here than anywhere else.

    Good starter controller not for the serious gamer.

    Pros- lights up, cost comparable. Major Con- USB hub interferes with the Sony headset. Interference from headset reduces controller function making significant lag during COD.

    Excellent controller

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Controller is excellent and handles well. The only downfall is it does not directly sync to the playstation, you have to make sure you use the USB plug n play

    Bargain WOW

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These were perfect for the ps3. My kids love the "glow" (which can be turned off to conserve battery life). The battery life is much longer than expected with length of play and movie watching. Still on first set of batteries since purchase. No incompatibilities noticed or glitches. Controller is pretty heavy duty and we all love the "see through" effect. Also has a vibration, just not as strong as the dualshock, which is hardly noticeable. Highly recommend

    Pure garbage

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought last Thursday at Best Buy. Rarely pairs and when it does it just drops within 2-3 seconds after it pairs. Gone through a dozen batteries trying to get it to work. I've called their customer support and they never answer. You call, it never connects to a rep. Live chat is always down. I've had a ticket open for four days and they claim to respond in 24 hours. This product isn't even on the pdp.com website! It may almost be double the price to get original PlayStation controller but the amount of frustration you will endure owning this product will make that extra money soooooo worth it.

    Not for PC

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Doesn't work for PC. For whatever reason, the product is not detectable by PC, which makes no sense since it's pretty much a ps3 controller, and those work with a PC.

    It requires 2 "AA" batteries despite the description on the website saying it's rechargeable and comes with an 8 foot charging cord.
