This is a great controller...just like the gray controller that comes with a regular Playstation, but redesigned a bit and is made for the PSone (note logo in the middle).

One thing. Don't buy other brand controllers. My friend had a Mad Catz controller and when he came to my house we couldn't play two of my games 'cause his controller didn't work with them. I guess it's Sony's way of saying, "Use our console, buy our stuff." Spend a bit more money on this controller to ensure 100% compatability.

Great Controller. If you need an extra controller, this is the one to get.

This controller which comes with the PSOne is great and because it's made by Sony, you can't go wrong. But if you have to buy a second controller, why not buy the Dual Shock 2 for PS2. It's backwards compatible, all analog and made by Sony. It's also in a black colour which I prefer.

I have owned about twenty Playstation, Playstation One, and Playstation Two controllers. Only five of them were Sony made controllers. Those are the only ones still working one-hundred percent. They are slightly more expensive then most controllers, but over all you save money from haveing to rebuy the cheaper ones. If you are looking for a new controller I recommend getting this one, or any other Sony made controller.

This controler is not as bulky or big as X-Box, not as weird as the game cube and is the same as the PS2. Over all its confortable, easy to use and not to expensive.

Sony Did it again!! With the vibration feature built right in it!! You May think it is a lot of money but it is worth it!! Don't by the third party products (madcats, nuby, interact, etc.) they sometimes will mess up your console. It has happened to me.

I've had both Playstation brand controllers and many controllers made by other companies. One thing I've noticed consistantly is that the Playstation controllers outlast the others by about 10:1. No joke. The only time I've ever seen one break is after it's been thrown by some angry gamer. I've had one of these for 5 years already and I'm still using it on my PS2 even now. Don't beleive the [stuff] people tell you, this is a good controller.

Awesome price, I got the actual Sony PS one controller was surprised at how much I paid works with the PS2 has vibration and everything I wish I could afford like 2 or 3 more just to have in case this one gets worn out or I break it.

I ordered the PS1 controler thinking it was going to be Sony brand(as pictured)...Insted I got some cheap spin off brand with no Sony logo thats nowhere near the quality of Sony. Joysticks are not placed right, control pad does not work half the time.. i honestly dont know where all these reviews are comming from. Buyer BEWARE....

Honestly, you get what you pay for, Guess i learnd my lesson for only 6 dollars... Dont waste your time honestly.

Sony's Playstation controllers have always been reliable and durable in my experiences...and the Dual Shock is no exception. The Dual Shock is basically the same thing as the original Playstation controller designed a few years ago, except it has the two analog sticks. This brings me to my only complaint about the controller. The two analog sticks add some weight to the controller and get in the way of rapid button combination pressing in games like Tekken 3, and especially Capcom's fighting games (I think the whole analog idea isn't necessary anyway). So if you are used to the regular Playstation controller, the Dual Shock may take some time to adjust to. It's still a lot better than most other controllers on any current console system.

I was angry after buying this controller! Now you don't have to listen to me, but it would be wise to! You see this is one of the most expensive controllers for the PS1...I wouldn't waist more money than you have to. buy one of those really cool colored ones, I was much more happier with that one. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the cord is pathetic and tangles really easy. Buy it if you want to buy it... Go for it! I'm just saying I didn't care for it....
