- Motion Sensing System*: Thanks to breakthrough technology and a highly sensitive motion sensing system, the controller becomes a natural extension of the user's body. (*Motion-sensitive feature is not compatible in all PlayStation 3 game titles. Check each game for specific compatible features.)
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth for wireless gameplay (the PlayStation 3 system can support up to seven wireless controllers at one time).
- Wireless or Wired: The Sixaxis controller can be easily switched from wireless to wired.
- Analog Joy Sticks: The tilting angle of the analog joy sticks have been slightly broadened to enable more delicate and dynamic manipulation.
- L2/R2 Buttons: The shape of the L2/R2 buttons has been altered, enabling increased travel and precision for more subtle control in games.
- USB Charging: Plug into a USB cable and automatically charge the controller through the system at any time. (Use any of the four USB connectors on the PlayStation 3.)
With the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system's Cell Broadband Engine creating experiences that were never thought possible, a controller was needed that would enable your experience to match its potential. Enter the new Sixaxis wireless controller. Utilizing sensors designed to read when a player angles, tilts, thrusts, or pulls, the Sixaxis controller allows game play to become a natural extension of the player's body.
And with the heritage of the PlayStation system's basic controller design still intact, gamers are now able to play the controls they've grown accustomed to while harnessing the added intuitive movements of the multi-axis controller.

I'd always buy Sony when considering controllers; I've been burnt with 'other brands' on the PS2. Its different when it comes to other peripherals, like rumble packs on an N64 or an adaptor for the PS3 from PS2 as they can work well; but controllers matter.
They matter because the Sony controller is so well made. Its durable, the buttons are progressively sensitive. They re-charge and hold charge well. Its not too heavy. Doesn't feel cheap. Also bear in mind it has the tilt axis, a very neat feature (mirroring the very old Micro PC stuff).
Its a great buy at this price, 25, as a backup controller. Personally I prefer the vibration/shock version for ten pound more - hence 4 star. Does not include cable from memory.
Good Pad, needs relaced regularly

This controller came to me very quickly and I have used it for over 2 months I think, it is still in great condition. The first controller i got with my PS3 got quite stiff Analog Sticks so I decided to buy another off Play and this one is very good.
PAL: Will play on UK and European Playstation3 only |
