Traded my 2nd xbox (banned xbox that is) for a PS3 with 2 third party controllers and Skate 2, unfortunately the two controllers sucked ass and the 2nd controller didnt even respond :S

So I ventured down to the local Gamestop, Blockbuster and a Danish electronic chain called Fona and fuck me a new dualshock 3 controller cost like 90 dollars in all three stores.

What the hell is up with that? Even a standard X360 controller cost like 60 dollars and the worst thing Is I hate the damn thing it doesnt fit in my hand :/ still Heavy Rain rocks

4 of my mates purchased PS3's this weekend just passed. All 4 for heavy rain.. It seems that when you make a good game exclusive, it really pushes console sales.

and when you gut open a play&charge kit you see they are made up of two Sanyo 2000mAh NIMH AA and a gold covered transistor circuit board

the only plus that you get from this kit, is the cable that turns your wireless in a wired controller Smug

so to be cheap just get 3800mah nimh AA with a cheapish recharger

and to answer you why PS3 controller is so damn expensive :
1. its got a 1800mah rechargeable battery build in taken from sonys cells phones
2. sixaixs

The thing that pissed me off about the PS3 I bought was that it didnt come with component cables.... WTF? It came with the standard AV cable

So I purchased some madcatz component cables which sucked so I had to go back to gamestop and exchange it for expensive Sony component cables. The console has been sitting inside a box in my room ever since beating MGS4 back in january

ouch

Quote:
Opened it up as I spent ages trying to charge it!

it basically has the PCB for the controller movements, 2 x motors for the vibration.

No Bluetooth circuitry and No battery/charge circuitry!

Essentially its a wired controller for the PS3!

works fine.

Plastic feels a bit rough but not too bad, durable 2nd, 3rd controller etc - just make sure you get long USB cables or extensions.

Enjoy!
