This controller is terrible and feels terribly unnatural. The thumbsticks are poorly placed and give no resistance back, while being to tall to provide any accuracy what so ever. I would recommend finding an adapter for the 360 remote. Sony has had 3 shots at this and gotten it wrong every time. WTF?!?

The controller is smaller than the PS2 but is roughly the same design. I found the size to be too small for my hands. I think it would be fine for someone who is less than fifteen years old or is a female. My hands had to awkwardly grasp the unit which eventually caused cramping.
The buttons are pressure sensitive. For example, an accellerator for a car game will not be fully engaged unless you press the button down hard. Once your finger/thumb is sore from using the controller you will have to stop playing or endure the pain. This is like the PS2 controller and is a major let down. I have seen pictures of deformed thumbs due to playing games. The thumbs almost resemble toes.
The rechargeable battery is sealed in the controller. If the controller fails and you are out of warranty then you have to get a new one. This is either a horrible example of engineering or it was purposely designed into the controller. Sony counts on you buying more controllers as it is a very profitable item.
It is wireless using “firewire” communication. This means it uses radio frequencies to communicate and does not need to have a direct line of sight to the system. The drawback is it notoriously loses that connection to the PS3. One user remarked on another site, “it’s not big deal, it only happens two times every three days and lasts for fifteen minutes.” Another user commented that he just left it hooked up to the USB cable, others suggested buying a larger USB cord as the one that comes with the controller is only about 6 feet long.
It does not have any vibration in it like the PS2. I personally do not mind this but alot of others are bothered by this fact. The controller supposedly has the ability to tell which direction it is being held like the Nintendo Wii controller. This is poorly implemented from what I have read and is not used except in one game at the time of writing this review.
I recommend not getting this controller or the PS3 system at this time. They are not ready to be sold much less used by consumers.

As I said in the title, this controller is almost identicle to the ps2 controller. I find that this greatly diminishes the gameplay of the PS3. It does not even rumble! However this controller may be half the weight of a ps2 controller, I would still not recommend it.

I wonder if they are dropping the price on these because they are going to bring back the feature every gamer has been yelling for…Rumble ! I’ll wait.
