Solid Controller from Sony - Lacks a USB Cable

The controller was designed solid by Sony. Nothing special, I find it better comfort over third-party controllers. Battery life is on average when compared to Wii and Xbox 360 rechargeables (5-6 hours continuous play). Full Charge via USB averages around 4 hours. It's difficult to understand for $55 it's just the controller and no USB Mini cable included to charge it. Even a 4" cable doesn't cost more than $.50. Would it be nice for Sony to pony up and offer a USB with the controller? Not too much to ask for. It would upset others if you don't have a handful of them around. Again, Solid controller I find hard to replace with any other third-party.
What's great about it: Comfortable natural fit for extended play and Excellent Build Quality
What's not so great: Lacks USB Cable
I would recommend this to a friend!

I always think the controllers are a little pricey, but it seems to be a constant for all gaming platforms. I love the PS3 and the controller. I had the SIXAXIS controllers before and didn't really notice the vibration missing, however I do really enjoy that fact that this one does have the vibrate function. It makes the game slightly more realistic. Additionally, it doesn't seem to drain the battery faster than a regular controller which is nice.
What's great about it: Vibrate Feature, Easy Wireless Connectivity
What's not so great: Little steep on the price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just a standard PS3 controller. The in-store pickup feature was fantastic. The product works fine, as advertised. I just wish it came with its own charging cord.
What's great about it: It gets the job done.
What's not so great: It did not come with its own charging cord.

THE controller in gaming

For all your PS3 gaming needs, the Dual Shock 3 Wireless is the controller to have. Playstation enthusiasts will love falling right into the comfort of the controller they have known for years. Rumble and button positioning is kept mostly intact. The difference in this iteration is the six-axis control scheme that is implemented here and there. Great potential.
The best features by far are the easy-to-set-up, far-reaching wireless capability (with charging done through the PS3's provided USB cable) and the surprisingly lengthy battery life. If you're a gamer like me with a distaste for battery replacement, this is a must-have.
My only gripe is the MRP of $54.99, but this is a standard distaste during this generation of consoles and comparable to the price of a Wii remote + nunchuk combo or the Xbox 360 wireless controller. For the gamer in need of comfort, wireless, and good battery life, the Sony DS3 wireless controller should top his or her list.
What's great about it: Comfortable, excellent wireless range, button positioning, battery life
What's not so great: Price (although only a minor perturbance)

This controller is perfect for my hands and has all the great features that i love about it.
iv'e dropped my a couple times split sprite on it on accident, i cleaned most of it off and still works perfectly. The wireless feature also is a good thing that it came with! I Have had it for over a year now with my PlayStation 3 and i am very satisfied with this product. I hope this really helped.
What's great about it: It Lasts really long, rechargeable right from your PlayStation 3

Everyone need's that second and third controller so they can play with their friends. So making the controllers expensive I feel is a bad move. Other than that I love the controller, has changed in 14 years but still the same and that's great.
What's great about it: Everything about the product itself.
What's not so great: The Price
