    Wireless controllers is the only way to go. Why have the cord? Love this controller and use it everyday. Get the charging station too!

    No problems with the controller at all. I still have an old one that I bought a year after the PS3 came out and it's still working.

    The original controllers that came with the PS3 were starting to wear out so I purchased two of these and they work perfectly.

    This DualShock controller is the best PlayStation 3 controller that is made by Somy. May be a little expensive but worth it.

    An additional controller is a must if you don't want to play alone. And if it's the original one, you know you can't go wrong.

    After a couple of years of daily use, my husband's controller was not working properly. Bought this controller as replacement. Works great and hubby is very happy to be back in the games.

    What can i say about the classic wireless PS3 Controller? It works great just as it should. However, for the price you'd think it would have a charging cable included. Not the case here.

    My original PS3 controller died after 7 yrs; it wouldn't recharge at all and the rubber covering on one of the joysticks had been peeling off for years, which was really annoying. This new one has dual shock, which I thought the original had but it either didn't or broke early on. I had to price check this item as it was about $15 higher than Walmart, but ultimately got the better deal. It seems more solid than the original controller so I hope it lasts me the remaining life of the system!

    Still the PS3 Dualshock

    Sony's Dualshock has become the best controller on the market.....at least the PS4 version. The PS3 model is a quality product but the triggers are a bit too rounded and its obvious there was some room for improvement. Being that you cannot use the PS4 controller for your PS3, id advise you to purchase a Dualshock 3. No third party controller nears its high standard of construction and usability at this price point.

    The product was exactly as expected. The representative that helped me with my order did a price match for me, and placed the order with no hassle at all. My only issues with the entire process are not related to Best Buy at all. It would behoove Sony to sell charging cords with these controllers, as it is not immediately clear that it does not come with one. Fortunately I was already aware of this, so I wasn't expecting one. My other concern was with the shipper. Though my order did show up on the day Best Buy said it would, it didn't show up until almost 8pm in the evening. But beyond that, the product and order went smoothly.
