Well my guess is if you are buying this you have used a PS3 controller before so you know what to expect. The weight is nicer than the old sixaxis and the dual shock is just like it was in psone and ps2. The white color is cool and goes nicely with my Wii remotes sitting on my table. In case you were wondering this controller works fine with US versions of the PS3.

I recently imported two Dual Shock 3 Controllers for $59.99. The controllers are amazing. The controller has the standard motion control of the Sixaxis but adds the Vibration function from the Dual Shock 2. The added weight of the Vibration components make the controller much better in your hand then the standard Sixaxis.

Also Sony is adding patches to a number of its games to add the Vibration Function. Its definitely worth it, but DO NOT PAY MORE than $59.99. $59.99 will be the retail price when the controllers are released in the US. And you can already get them for that price from Play-Asia.com

Buy PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller (Japanese Version) Now

i must admit that when i first heard the original sixaxis controllers for the ps3 were not going to have rumble, i wasn't all that disappointed. but now that i have rumble back, i realized just how much i missed it. i shipped mine in from japan so i wanted to give it my review for others who are thinking about getting one when it comes to the states.

this controller is slightly heavier than the regular sixaxis, but it feels great in my hands. i feels sturdier and makes the old controllers feel like toys in comparison. and i noticed the buttons and analog sticks have a bit more resistance to them which make me feel more connected to the games.

the rumbling itself isn't super powerful like the xbox controllers, but i never really liked the rumble in those because i throught they shook too much. it destracted my game. the ds3 rumbles just enough to immerse you more, but doesn't make you think, "whoa this is making my hands numb" like the 360 controller.

there is one notable difference with this rumble however that i wasn't sure was a rumor or not. THE RUMBLE REALLY IS DIRECTIONAL. i popped in Uncharted and let some guys shoot me from different angles to see. when a guy shot my right side it felt like the controller jumped to the left as if reacting to bullet. i thought this was super cool.

all in all, this controller improves on the original sixaxis and also the old dualshock 2 with the addition of directional rumble. the ds3 is a must have for anyone who desperately misses the rumble from the ps2 days and i would also recommend it for everyone else who is even remotely interested.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to warn people that are complaining that their SONY WHITE CONTROLLERS STOPPED WORKING AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.

Here is the possible reason:

It's FAKE. COUNTERFEIT!

There is a video on the web to help identify the counterfeit product, do a search for counterfeit ps3 controller video. Amazon blocks out the links..

I just bought one from eBay and it's fake. Looked real, packaged like the real thing, until I saw this video and realized I got scammed.

Can you see the flashing red led lights through the controller? Yeah.. it's fake.

The video identifies a lot of the points showing if it is fake.

I am unsure if this person sells real or fakes, but if you have firmware 3.0 on your PS3 I think you will find out soon enough.

Good luck.

Want PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller (Japanese Version) Discount?

If you want dual shock on your PS3 Wireless Controller, this product is what you need. I purchased this product from a seller at Amazon and the only downside is that it did not come with the cable used to recharge the controller (I use the cable of my old PS3 Controller to recharge it). Despite the controller being Japanese version it works fine on my PS3 and the lettering is in english. I originally purchased the controller because the analog stick on my original PS3 Controller broke so easily, but DualShock controllers in general are more resiliant in the analog stick. I am completely satisfied with this product.
