FAKE CONTROLLER. Worth 5 bucks.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

The reviews here seemed pretty back and forth about whether or not it is real, and I've came to the conclusion that most of these sold are fake. It really is impressive how well they hid it though, since they look genuine from the logo to the overall quality of the controller. The only big thing that stuck out was that they were using the Japanese packaging when the dualshock 3 first launched, instead of the newer 2013+ packaging that looks fairly similar to the Dualshock 4's packaging. That, and the label on the back is not the same kind of sticker material the genuine controllers use, they also contain different info. Other than that it looks almost identical (with some very minor things different).
The controller wont charge, even after been connected for hours t the PS3. aste of money , dont buy.

Final verdict is that if you're looking for a dualshock 3, your best bet is probably going through an actual store, since all the ones here on amazon seem to be either 3rd party controllers or most likely a chinese ripoff, which I find really weird odd the PS3 is still alive and well. Of course, these controllers should work, but if you're already paying 45-60 dollars on one, then get a genuine one instead of this.

I don't like being played with

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is not the product I received, instead I received some generic thing that cost 11 bucks. I feel ripped off. I payed a price for a official Sony Controller, so no, I don't like being played with. Be careful of what you see on the picture and advertisement. I though the price was a bit low at $33, but though It was on discount or something, I checked and it was advertised as a Sony controller.

HOW2 USE PS4 CNTRL WITH BLUTTH TO PS3 GUIDE... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work)

HOW2 USE PS4 CNTRL WITH BLUTTH TO PS3 GUIDE... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work)

YEAH... GET A PS4 CONTROLLER INSTEAD! (though vibrate and PS Button don't work), the PS4 controller lasts much longer, is more solid and just plays much better than the Sony PS3 Controller.

So, the last 2 of the Official Sony PS3 Controllers lasted about a month before they started dropping from connection and powering off constantly on their own and the joysticks go sloppy (it works, but just useless, aiming is lost)! The one that came with my PS3 barely lasted a year before it completely fell apart!

I'm now using a PS4 controller (which I got over a year ago and it still feels very good), which is far superior, it feels much better, I feel I have much more control, though I'd definitely do some design changes if this were my product to make it much better, like very short joy stick stems (maybe no stem at all) and options to disable buttons and etc....

Anyway.... The PS4 controller is much better, though with a Sony PS3 Playstation (that's right, I'm using it with my PS3 - THREE).... the vibrate doesn't work (I don't really miss that though) and the Sony Playstation (PS) button doesn't work.... I only play Battlefield 4 on my PS3, so no big deal, you can't quit out of BattleField 4 with the PS4 controller, you have to power off and power on the PS3, or use a PS3 controller to quit games (you can use a PS3 controller that only the PS button works, like an old broken one... which is what I do). So if you want to quit out of BF4 and want to use YouTube, or Netflix, you have to power off, or use a PS3 controller and it's PS button.

HERE'S HOW TO CONNECT A PS4 CONTROLLER AS WIRELESS BLUETOOTH TO A SONY PLAYSTATION PS3
1) Using a PS3 Controller (or other means) POWER UP YOUR PS3 (PS buttons powers up the PS3, it does not have to be plugged into PS3, you can power up wirelessly with bluetooth) and at the PS3 main menu, scroll over left to SETTINGS.
2) scroll down to ACCESSORY SETTINGS
3) scroll down to MANAGE BLUETOOTH DEVICES
4) scroll down to REGISTER NEW DEVICE and hit ENTER (X)
5) a window will open on the PS3 that says START SCANNING, hit ENTER (X), a SCANNING PLEASE WAIT sign is displayed
5) on the PS4 Controller hold down the SHARE + PS BUTTON until the front large flat light starts to flash quickly (you need to hold both buttons for a while, like 3 to 5, maybe even 10 seconds), it should connect almost immediately and display on the PS3 - WIRELESS CONTROLLER once it's found your PS4 controller.
6) on the PS3 Controller hit ENTER (X), it should display REGISTER COMPLETE and that's it! NOW YOU CAN USE EITHER CONTROLLER TO WIRELESSLY CONTROL YOUR PS3 (though on the PS4, the PS Button and Vibrate don't work... not big deal, right?).

That's about it!

Here is also a picture comparing the Chinese ripoff sticker (black) to an actual controller (gold) (ignore the quality of the gold controller, I bought it used with my ps3)

Fake. Do not buy this!

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Fake! The packaging looks official, even the controller looks official, but I assure you it's not. Any PS3 controller with the model number CECHZ2H is a fake. Do not buy controllers online. If you want a REAL control, cough up the extra bucks and go get a real one.

thanks, china. it worked 31 days. too long to return, not long enough to enjoy my favorite games. money gone.

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2015

well, good job, china. you have now taken the confidence out of anything remotely electronic. this thing worked for just a bit longer than the return policy. has to be a fake because if sony themselves flooded the world with unreliable crap like this we would all be buying xboxes. so. $35 gone down the toilet. ill have to go to a brick and mortar store and hope that they get theirs from sony. don't do it unless you have money extra, to burn, in which case ill give you my address and you can mail me a check and ill send you the same crap youll get from this order.

Genuine product - This is not!
Instead i received a cheap knock of controller that didn't work properly there was no Sony markings, the build of the product was terrible. the PS button actually said P3 and this button only managed to turn the damn thing on. the material used for the plastic was a cheap. Start and Select buttons did not work at all. no Charging cable came in the box either! and all this in spite of being shown an image of a genuine controller and description. Sort it out amazon

Does not work terribly well

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Purchased this for my son for Christmas. It came fully packaged and promptly, initially it seemed fine, but then he noticed that the left toggle doesn't seem to work properly all the time. On racing games he thought it was just because the controller is new and less worn in than his old one, but then it became increasingly obvious that the toggle does not work as expected. This becomes very evident on some platform games when the controller is required to rotate. It obviously has a glitchy trackball or sensor as it will complete 1/4 rotation and then stops. I guess these are all old stock now, so cannot expect every one to be fully functional. Just a little disappointing as they are not the cheapest items.

Not new and faulty......

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

Not new and faulty......Whilst this may of been a genuine controller, for 49.99 I would expect a new working controller.
The one I received had scratch marks & showed signs of wear, I could of ordered a used controller for half the price.
Further whilst the controller would connect via the USB cable it would not pair with Bluetooth.
Followed all the various recommendations for pairing to no avail.
Bought another controller from a different outlet the next day and it worked and is still working without issue.

Controller was returned for a full refund as per amazons policies.

I was very pleased as I thought this would be a cheap knockoff

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

As it stated...brand new, genuine PS controller in the genuine PS controller box. In fact, the box still had the origninal seal, indicating they were direct from Sony. I was very pleased as I thought this would be a cheap knockoff, but to my surprise, its as if I bought it directly from Sony.. PS3 controllers are hard to find brand new, with a decent price, and not a genuine fake. The buttons are tight, the knowbs move as they should and there is no indication these are knock-offs. I havent opened these controllers up to see if the serial numbers match with what is indicated by Sony but every indication is these are genuine. It takes about an hour or so for these to fully charge. I get about 5-6 hours of gaming with these which is what I expected. The charging port is tight and fits snugly around the USB cable end. I think I may buy a couple more just to keep them in stock as I still use my PS3 for videos, apps and other games. As far as I am aware SONY, doesnt make the PS3 models anymore, so whats out there is out there and thats it. This is definitely genuine.

It's 100% genuine.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Genuine controller, just to get that out of the way. The item itself was brand new, in perfect condition. Handles beautifully, so I highly recommend this for competitive gamers that want a quality controller that feels good in the hands. I bought this from the seller PADNOTE (fulfilled by Amazon), so I would ignore negative reviews here that likely bought from other sellers that weren't fulfilled by Amazon. The initial charge took 2-3 hours and lasted for well over a week after being used daily for prolonged periods, high performance indeed from an official Sony product.

My only real gripe was the condition of the box, which was (only slightly) bent on some edges, but that's what you'd expect a box to look like if it had been in storage for 3+ years. The controller is actually an import from USA, so the box shown in the picture is incorrect, which initially worried me as I thought it might be fake, but this video... v=e91geC3niAc ...proved to be 100% accurate and the box I got is exactly the same as the "real" box in that very helpful video. PS3 controllers from the USA will have the code CECHZC2U, my old PS3 controller that came with the system has the code CECHZC2E (E for Europe).

Just leaving the information that I gathered during my research here, to help people discern between the real and fake controllers out there, since there seems to be a lot of horror stories on Amazon... and I can assure you the item I have works just as well as my old original did when it was brand new. A genuine Sony product, so I'm very pleased.
