Try to find the link to get support! I just did, that is a challenging video game I can not get past the first level of the game "how to return your Dual Shock 3". I let mine sit during the 30 day return window. Now only partial function, bad buttons, only 8 days after the return window closes. I should have played it many times during the return window. Now I have lost 43 bucks. the SONY Brand support does not seem to exist for this model. There is support for the dual shock 4, but not the model 3.

a must for all ps3 owners!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2007

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.

wow when i first got the six-axis it felt like something was missing, when playing call of duty it felt very wierd. but when i got this I felt complete ! this is a definealy a must-grab for ps3 owners, i seriously think this is worth the extra money because god knows when it is coming to the states

When selling knock offs, at least make the serial numbers unique...

Listing said authentic, open box. Ordered two, they feel... Off. And both have the same serial number.

Hoping they are least function. Most "generic" ones don't seem to support the motion sensors, which my games need. If they aren't 100% will be filing complaint with Amazon.

I got this to replace one that wasn't working right. This one is even worse. Seemed alright at first but quickly became unusable.

Junk!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2012

Do your homework!! I bought this controller thinking it was a genuine Sony PS3 only to find out it was a China knock off with cheap parts! My nephew accidentally dropped the controller and the wireless hasn't worked since. This is when I found the insides to be cheap junk from China!! Just junk! I paid $50 for this thing and it wasn't worth $10!! Very disappointing!! Ugh!! I refuse to buy a replacement until this one totally craps out cause it does still work it plugged into cable. Just do your homework before purchasing items such as this!!

使えない

Reviewed in Japan on April 25, 2019

購入後、綺麗で新品同様の手触り、「これで１０００円なら良い買い物したな」と思いましたが…使えない…誤動作連発。
試しに他のPS３のコントローラーを使用しましたが、全く問題無し。
購入時の詳細には「誤動作」の表記もなく、完動品だと思って購入しました。

正直「だまされた」と言う印象が強いです。
業者側は、検品後に誤動作確認の上で、新品に近い商品をこの値段で、詳細に誤動作の表記をせず、出品したように感じました。
もうここでは２度と買いません。

そもそも電源が入らない

Reviewed in Japan on August 20, 2018

届いて本体とケーブル接続してペアリングしようと思ったら電源入らないおまけにL1ボタンが押したままの状態で戻らない
これが商品として送られて来るのが不思議
何を管理しているのか
返品するのもとても面倒なのでせめて使える商品が欲しい電源入らないなんて致命傷でしょジャンク商品でもないのに

どの店で買うのか！決断がむずかしいところです。

Reviewed in Japan on November 14, 2020

当たりの『コントローラ』を『ＧＥＴ！』です。
快適に『Ｇａｍｅ』をプレイできました、良かった～。

今、『プレステ３のコントローラ』を手に入れようと思っても、
新品は高すぎるので、必然的に中古品となります。

他人がどれぐらい使い込んだのか、わからないわけで、
ルーレットのように、何が！私の手元に来るのかは、わからないわけです。

今回は２千円で買い！当たりました。
もし、ハズレたら２千円でも嫌ですものね、心がブルーになりますからね。

さて、私は店でも『あと２個』コントローラを買いました、色違いです。
１個目は当たりでした、もう一つは『バイブ』の感覚が少し雑？的な感じで、
まあ、操作には影響ないので『ギリ』ＯＫコントローラ！てな感じです。

今あるコントローラ＋今回買った３個のコントローラ、
これだけあれば、壊れる心配はなくなり、気分良くプレイを楽しむことができます。
余裕があることは、いいものですね。

ここまで読んでいただき、ありがとうございます。
中古品で綺麗な商品が届くと、ハッピーな気分になりますよね。

新品は高すぎる

中古で買いました　ｐｓ3買って既に４台目のコントローラ－です
左スティックが毎回破損し　龍が如くの桐生ちゃんが勝手に走り回りますｗ
中国産になってから　耐久性がないですよね
いまだに新品で9000円近くするのも・・
一個2500円位の値段で適正じゃないですか
最近のプレステは　品質が悪すぎです　ちなみに本体も２台目です・・
