DualShock3 - Worth It?

OpenToSuggestions · 7 Oct 2008 at 23:36

I got mine over 6 months ago for under £35 (delivered) off ebay from HK.
Surely you can get it under £30 now

My white one cost me £32 and I paid via PayPal which anyone with a bank account can use, so there is no excuse!

Anyone else find the rumble doesn't seem as good as on PS2 models though?
Perhaps in light of saving the battery. It's certainly not as noticeable as the 360 anyways.

I agree, the rumble is kinda weak but it does its job.

Depends on the game tbh, play the Bioshock demo and when the Big Daddy showed up at the beginning I thought the controller was going to jump out of my hand.

My left analog stick...sticks too! Thats well annoying. I need to get a new controller but its way too expensive.

You will never want to touch a sixaxis again after a ds3, its that much better.

There is a clue in the upper case used on the first line and a quick google search found it straight away.

I've had dvd's from them in the past and they usually take about 24 to 48hrs, mostly 48hrs to arrive. Not used them in a while though due to their dvd's being a tad pricey than other places.

Yes, bought mine in March for £34

reckon I might snaffle a couple then, at that price it would be rude not to

if you go to that site theres a link for a 30 day trial at lovefilm, if you take it they email you a 20 quid voucher for the site so effectively making the DS3 4 quid!! bargaintastic

I had to sadly. When I went to throw them into the back of my wardrobe. Thankfully I've never touched them since.

pinkacidbootson · 8 Oct 2008 at 12:32

I just got one for £24 brand new, only used it in WipEout HD so far but I think it makes a noticable difference, and at that price it's not much more expensive than a Sixaxis anyway.

Thanks for the link/hint for the DS3 controller, ordered one a few hours ago.

Bennie-Mac · 8 Oct 2008 at 14:58

I just got 2 Sixaxis controllers for £25 brand new. im not going to go for ds3 seems pointless

Two pieces of turd isn't better than a single juicy steak.

My DS3 died on me and I haven't played on the PS3 ever since, except for a few rounds on the Killzone 2 beta - the old controllers are so bad compared to the new that I simply can't stomach them anymore.
