 SIXAXIS - Pricy and Flimsy October 13, 2008
outofmybox (West Midlands)
The PS3 remote looks a lot like the PS2 remote but will not stand a drop on to a laminate floor!
My son dropped his and made it "rattle", I took the back off and couldn't believe how many small parts are inside, (unlike the the PS2 remote).
Yes it is a good remote to use and seems to hold its charge for a long time but considering the console's high build quality and the price of new controllers, it should be as robust as the old PS1/PS2 controllers, (certainly not made for throwing whilst playing a frustrating game)!
far to fragile September 21, 2008
Mr. D. J. Asker-browne (uk)
these controllers are not nearly as good as x box 360's ..i bought my ps3 2 months ago and the left joystick is now worn out..in 8 weeks!! thats not really any use is it?
needs sorting out to be able to handle the use it is ment to be design for....
even when it worked it was much harder to aim with...
 A naff Controller. September 18, 2008
Blunt Munkie (Amazonian Rainforest)
Ok, for starters will say to people who complain that there is no rumble feature. Its a 6-Axis controller if it had a rumble feature it would be registered as movement and effect your game. Duh!
But anyway to my review. The only thing that i like about this controller is that it is light...thats all i like. It feels a bit small and it also feels like it would snap in half if i gripped it too tightly. I do not liek the shoulder buttons, the lower ones feel like they would break easily...guess what!? They did. Now i have an Xbox 360 so i play that a lot more that my PS3, so i left the controller in my drawer (with nothing on top of it may I add), i got a game for my PS3 as it had the expansions free for the PS3...when i went to play it...the R2 + L2 buttons wouldn't respond...there was a lot i could not do. I have no idea why they broke and i don't really want to fork out 30 pounds to play a game that cost me 20. i am very disappointed.

This controller has features that best the wii and xbox 360 and is extremely light.
 Unbiased review of Sixaxis and comparison to Dualshock 3 August 18, 2008
D. Frost (England)
Starters, yes they are using their same design to the Dual shock 2 and Dual shock and it is a trade mark of Playstation. Old? Yes. Broken? No, theres nothing broken about the controller, sure there are room of improvements as with all of them - The analogue sticks need to be more robust is the biggest improvement they can do i think, which i think they have improved a bit with Dualshock 3. And the other thing would be to make the constroller more rounded and maybe slightly bigger for adult hands size i think. Maybe also bring the design into the 21st century just make the buttons have that glassy effect like the PSP, Xbox 360 controllers, pretty easy to do. It is a very light controller, personally i couldn't care less how light it is as long as it works, i'm fine with it. but others like a certain weight which is fine but you have to be pretty fussy.
Comparision: The design to the Dualshock 3 is the same however Dualshock's colour coating to different, it's fully black it's not the sightest bit see through. Weight of course, dualshock 3 has rumble (hense the name) so it has that little bit no weight. They both have motion sensor and as i said earlier the dualshock maybe a bit more robust but i'm really not that sure on that one. And the dualshock 3 does cost more about 10 pounds here on amazon.
Over all, etheir one you buy is good, if you don't really care about the weight buy the sixaxis you'll save more money, but if you're used to the weight of the Playstation2's controller or the xbox 360's or even Dualshock 1s then get the DS3.
Lastly this whole name calling thing in reply to some other reviews, " Sony stole Nintendo designs!" arguement etc. No they didn't, Nintendo didn't create motion sensoring! And Microsoft didn't create triggers etheir. These two inovations have been around for many years. Besides, I don't see a "wii mote design" on the box of Playstation 3, do you???? If you're going to have copying arguements then you might as well say: "Oh my god, microsoft and nintendo are using DVD, and CD and Sony created (or mostly) them." Get over it fangirls...
