Best Bet Controller

Absolutely love the PS controller, ever since PS2. These babies are rechargeable so you don't have to putz around with batteries. Unfortunately, they are SUPER expensive. That being said though, I haven't had any problems with any of my four controllers (I've only had them for maybe half a year) and they've been dropped, sat upon, and who knows what else. Good investment. Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Durable, Comfortable game play
What's not so great: Price. Omg, it's the same price as a new release!
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you are looking to buy a new contoller for your PS3, get this one. Yes, it will cost you more money than a third party controller but it's worth it. I have used a lot of Logitech, MadCatz, and other third party controllers. They all start falling apart after a couple months. Do yourself a favor and get this controller. Plus, lots of games for the PS3 need the Six-Axis and this is the best controller for that.
What's great about it: Durability, Six-Axix, Value
What's not so great: Hands can cramp after playing for an extended time
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wireless controllers with rechargeable batteries make this an improvement over PS2 controllers that we went through disposable batteries like water!

I have not been a fan of all those controller buttons since the Nintendo 64 came out, but I can actually use this controller. It is very comfortable, has well-marked buttons that are easy to reach, excellent features like the PS button and USB port, holds a charge for a very long time, and has great "shock" effects. The latter are just enough to tell you something is going on but not so much that it is annoying. I like the thumb sticks, too.
What's great about it: Great design, features, and battery life
What's not so great: Nothing

I love this thing! You never need batteries for it. All you gotta do is charge it and im totally fine with that. Ive dropped this thing a couple times and it hasnt given me any problems. I need to get another cause i only have one but the problem is that its freaking $55!!! I could buy a freaking brand new realease game for just $5 more. It should be like $40 at least. But whatever what are you gonna do! The thing rocks!
What's great about it: Bluetooth, no need for batteries!
What's not so great: price

from Nazareth,pa
I actually have 4 controllers. Glad I have 2 systems cause it seems playstation is stepping away from family played games.Or the companies that make the games for them are.The controllers last a while,I got a table charger for 2 controllers at a time and it works great .Keeps all 4 charged and usable.I have big hands so I must admit I like the original xbox design the best for systems.It was big enough to keep my hands comfortable for much longer time.Not much changed in playstations paddle designs ,but still enjoy them greatly.2 of my paddles are atleast 3 years old and still keep a great charge and work perfect.
What's great about it: great on battery and nice that PS# stayed with ps2 design to keep same control set up.
What's not so great: Hands hurt after long time use,lol.And price is still high.
