    Sony, Has really stepped the Dualshock line of controllers up 3 notches. The touchpad, ergonomics and sixxasis. Really comfortable in hand and much larger than its prior predecessors. Enjoy hours of gaming with this controller. I love it but the battery life could have been slightly better.

    Official Sony controller; why fix what's not broken. The design is flawless. I've used the same controller that came with my original PS3 since 2006 until I needed a new replacement from parts wearing down. The texture, the feel, the weight, the layout of the buttons, the size, the battery life... it all just feels good to me. I have nothing bad to say about it.

    I love this controller and when I eventually wore out the original one (same controller) that came with my PS3 I knew I wanted to get the same exact one. I have heard so many terrible things about the cheap brand controllers that can be bought at other retailers and how they need to be replaced often because they are- well cheap. I play rough and have not broken one of them yet! I also like the feel/ texture of the controller its smooth and not slippery when my hands get clammy.

    PS 3 controllers are reliable and long lasting. I have had to replace one due to water exposure and another because the buttons began to stick, but that controller was several years old. However, I am disappointed that the price of the controllers has not gone down. The controllers cost the same as they did when the PS 3 was new.

    After multiple rounds of Battlefield 3 I was very pleased with the fit and comfort in my hands. I very much prefer this controller over any of the other major brands.

    Nothing like a fresh controller. Got it so I could play 2 player games with gf. Batteries last long and charge fast. They kinda feel sturdier than a Dualshock 4.

    Larger than PS3 controller, with play enhancements

    The PS4 controller is larger than the PS3 controller, which makes it easier to hold, and has a smooth slicone like covering on handles for easier grip. Play enhancements include real-time action sound directly from the controller speaker, new mic, and larger colored light display to signal activity, battery life, etc. There are also added buttons at each front left and right side to enhance game play moves and stunts in various games, and has a "share" and "options" buttons on face (top) next to left and right finger buttons; includes an an ext port and headphones jac.

    PS3 wireless hand held controller pretty nice design and comfort feel and easy to maneuver. However, the housing where the joystic for movement is constructed can be made of a stronger material.

    Great deal with online vendor price match

    Best Buy priced matched the regular price of the PS3 controller to match that of an online vendor, saved $18. If you need something quick and do not want to wait for shipping from your favorite online vendor because they got the lowest price, go to Best Buy and see if they will price match. I might not order video games and accessories online much anymore since Best Buy will price match the price at their brick and mortar stores when you show the cashier the web price on your smart phone.

    I purchased an additional controller for my PS3, and decided to purchase a blue one instead of the black. Other than the variety of colors the controllers come in I enjoy the actual device itself. I have small hands and have tried other controllers that I cannot use for very long before my hands get tired, but that is not the case with this device. It is the perfect size for anyone, is light weight and easy to use. I also love that it is wireless! Perfect all around!
