I don't like being played with

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.

Be wary of fakes!!

January 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

I purchased this from the seller GP&Associates. It is not an official Sony controller. It looks almost identical to the real thing, but the product sticker on the back is not the correct label, and the model number is not correct either. I've taken apart both this controller and a genuine Dualshock 3 controller, and the innards are vastly different as well. I've been severely dissapointed, so please be careful which company you purchase this controller from. The model number should be CECHZC2U, whereas this one is CECHZC2H

FAKE CONTROLLER. Worth 5 bucks.

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.

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)

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

July 25, 2017

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!

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

April 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

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.
