SIXAXIS Wireless Controller (PS3)

from: Sony

March 23, 2007
Sony's law Suit with Immersion has cost them a lot, in more ways than one. This pad is basically a PS1 pad, which was designed in 1994. Technically, it's more responsive, and has much deeper L2/R2 buttons but the loss of the rumble feature makes it feel like you're back in the dark ages. I've yet to play a game which puts the six-axis function to good use. It feels cheap (which the PS2's didn't) very light, and the charging cable is a disgusting 3 feet long! What use is that if the PS3 sits in your living room 8 feet away? Also, even when connected via USB, you still have to activate the pad, why?

Like everything else for my PS3, this seems like an 'almost but not quite' sort of effort. I'm not impressed.
