    I think they should make the insides of the joysticks stronger so that they don't break so easily.

    When I researched this online before I bought it, it claimed to work with the new Sony Blu-ray online Playstation Network app. However, when trying to play a game after accessing Playstation Network, it only gives you the option of the Dualshock 4 controller. Not happy....unless I'm doing something wrong?

    Complete garbage the controller disconnects back to back while in game. The buttons randomly push back to back. The left stick moves itself constantly so I can't even aim properly on cod games. It's complete garbage and they need to remove this broken product from the store.

    Quality Controller but too small.

    This controller is a pretty big improvement over the PS2 and older SIXAXIS controllers. With the Dualshock 3 you get rumble support as well as more overall weight. You will also get a built-in rechargable battery pack with a charge cable that hooks right up to your PS3. It holds a long charge (25-30 hours) as well. The L2 and R2 buttons are now triggers which is a decent improvement over the PS2 but not as good as the Xbox 360 triggers. The joysticks are also the most free-flowing of any current-gen controller. It's as close to mouse and keyboard accuracy you can get out of a controller at the time. My only gripes with the design is that it is a little too small (the palm grips need to be longer) and the placement of the left trigger and D-pad could be switched up. The SIXAXIS is actually a nice feature in my opinion as long as it's utilized right (Ratchet and Clank, Killzone 2). I gave Durability a 5 because my friend submerged his in a glass of water and it works fine. Value for price is also a 5 because for $55 you get a quality controller with a built-in rechargable battery and cable as well as limited motion-control. Some people complain about the price being too high compared to the Xbox 360 controllers but just do the math. To get the Xbox controller and play and charge kit it costs $75 after tax whereas for only $55 you get both in the PS3 controller.

    Excellent

    "I have this controller that came with my PS3. I am glad it has the rumble feature, and it is especially nice to be able to turn the PS3 on and off with a button on the controller. I played on the PS2 for years with a wireless Pelican controller, but it never had the great feel and comfort of the Sony controller. The battery life is great. I play for hours at a time, and don't have to charge it very often. The only downside is that you have to have the PS3 on to charge it. I will be getting a wall charger to avoid this. I would like to buy another one so that while one is charging I can still pay without a cord hanging down in front of the TV (my PS3 is on top of my TV) while the controller is charging. The only thing that holds me back is the price. The best Sony controller so far."
