It would be nice if they would make them a little more durable and extend the battery life, or at least sell replacement batteries for like $15 or so. So of course since the 1 year warranty was up, I had to replace them. Is that so much to ask Sony. I had 2 of these controllers for just under 2 years and this past weekend, both of them went dead. not dead as in plug them in to charge them, but dead as in that's it, they are nothing more than paper weights at this point.
I also love the fact that you can PLAY and CHARGE your controller at the same time, instead of waiting for battery life to run out in the middle of a game. Well that problem is fixed now with the new HINGED R2 and L2 buttons. [.]. I love this product very much, it has a lot of major improvements from the PS2 controllers, first of all its a lot more LIGHTWEIGHT but its still very DURABLE. Second, a lot of PS2 owners may have noticed in shooter games (where the R2 and L2 buttons are used a lot) that the R2 and L2 buttons will get JAMMED under the body of the controller.
What was wrong with the old school controllers that had normal r2 l2 buttons. I actually returned the game rental and rented on the 360 instead and the game played so much better.Pros:Long battery lifeQuick recharge timethey look like the classic PS2 controllersCons:No rumble featureToo light causing it to feel cheaploses bluetooth connection from time to timethe R2 L2 hinged buttons are a terrible idea.In short, I am considering buying the new dualshock controller because it's a few ounces heavier. I enjoy my PS3 from time to time. I loved the PS2 controllers, they were the same size just about. so instead of going left like I wanted to I vered right. I don't like how light the controllers are. Why they decided to do that I don't know, because it feels awful pressing into them.
It only happens in a split second, but ummm when you're playing a racing game and your controller freezes I've seen my car vere to the left for an extra second causing me to crash OR the controls actually reversed once lol. Not like the battery was low, but the bluetooth hiccuped for a second and had to reassign the controller.
I'm sorry I'm an adult with bigger hands than a kid. I've also had the controller un-sync during a game.
I don't have any games but I download demos on occasion to give games a try. I loathe it when companies change things that are perfectly fine the way they are.
and I have a logitech USB controller which is great but it doesn't work with some games, and it's usb so it doesn't turn the ps3 on or off :( I'm trying to sell my normal controllers lol(yeah i bought the console with an extra controller) if you like heavier controllers(xbox orig, 360, ps2, dreamcast) you will not like the feel of this controller. but they were heavier and felt soooooo much better in your hands.
The other huge letdown was the L2 and R2 buttons that are hinged at the top instead of being regular push-in buttons.
You can turn on or shut down your PS3, turn off the controller, start and play videos, games music, download stuff, browse the web, and even more with its wireless capability by just moveing your fingers. [That does not affect me because I never used it]. This is a great controller with its motion sensing, light weight, potrability, and wireless capability.
This is practically copying the X-box 360 controller with the ''triggers'' for L2 and R2 and it also copys the ''X-box button.'' It is quite expensive too. The worst part to this product is that you have to separately buy the USB-to-Mini USB cable to charge it. It does not have the rumble vibration feature either.
This product has many good features. [If you are a hardcore gamer and play a lot then I would recommend having a spare controller].Now lets look at the downsides to this product. [This does not affect me either because I have tons from my other Sony products].Overall this is a great product if you do not use it tons and you are sure to be satisfied by its incredible performance.
What can't this controller do. The battery lasts at least six hours and it is a breeze to charge.
this is the best controller design ever made in my opinion, the joysticks are in the perfect position for your thumbs, the buttons are in a great location, it just feels right.
