Sony Sixaxis Reviews

This is the PS3s basic official controller. There is this, the SIXAXIS, and there is the Dualshock 3. The only difference between the two devices is that the Dualshock has a rumble effect whereas the SIXAXIS does not. By removing a rumble effect in this controller, the device is cheaper and lighter than its counterpart. Some ...  Read the complete review

The Sixaxis is a Ps3 controller. Back at the release of the first ps3's they were the controllers you tended to get free with the console. For a start they are decent and really i would much rather pay around £15-£20 for one of those than £30-£50 for a dual shock 3 controller. The dual shock 3 controller is actually much heavier than the ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Sixaxis controller is the next controller from sony up from the dualshock 2 controller, and is for the playstation 3. The main changes from the sixaxis to the dualshock 2 are that; one, it is wireless so there is no annoying wire getting in your way anymore, and two, there is no dualshock in the control so it doesn't ...  Read the complete review

The Sixasis is the controller that came packaged with the original PS3 console. When sony brought out the PS3 console they had issues with the licensing if vibration support within controllers. Even without the Dualshock support this is still an extremely good option. The first thing you notice is that it is very light ...  Read the complete review

At £30 these controllers are in my opinion, a bit expensive. I guess they are wireless and have an accelerometer over the old PS2 controllers but still :/ That being said I only have one niggle with the PS3 controller - which is it's size - evidently it was designed for Japanese hands; it's a little on the small size and hence ...  Read the complete review

When the playstation 3 was released the control pads had been redeveloped too. The shape was the same,the buttons were the same. The size of the pad was the same, it had two analogue sticks still. So what had Sony actually done to improve the pad. Well visually nothing really, instead there was a deeper development ...  Read the complete review

This would be it! Sonys Sixaxis controller is the earlier model bundled with the 60GB and 40GB PS3s. The controller itself is finished in black like the console and its look is much the same as the old Playstation 2 controller. Upon closer inspection you will see a few new buttons like the home button and the triggers on the ...  Read the complete review

These controleers are super reliable and I have had mine for over 2 years since the release day of the PS3. It suprises me that they have never had any problems, especially with the abuse they go through. The charge is still really good on them, and I'm always using my PS3. The controller is brilliantwith connectivity and ...  Read the complete review

I've been using my six axis controllers for two years now and I have not needed to replace them, as yet. They were part of a bundle with my console and are the original six axis format without the dual shock. The advantages of the six axis controller are:- The controllers are very light and atleast half ...  Read the complete review

Sony finally came out with the PS3 after a long long wait (at least in the UK) with revolutionary graphics, media, internet connectivity and various other things. Sadly the controller was not one of them, if anything it's a step backwards from the PS2's controller. Although the new controller is wireless as standard and ...  Read the complete review

The original ps3 controller. Design of the playstation 3 controller went through many different looks and rumours, until they decided to stick with the playstation 3 layopur of the control, however with a new generation controller there had to be changes and making them wireless was defantely top of the list in this ...  Read the complete review

I actually managed to get 2 Sixaxis controllers when I ordered my PS3 and like most of you will have read below I was very very happy for the first 8-12 months. After what I believe to not be unreasonable amounts of usage 4-12 hours a week over 8 months the sixaxis element of the controller has packed in. In fact on one of my ...  Read the complete review

This particular review is about the sixaxis controller after less than a years use. The reviews below are accurate and legit, but I felt that I should let people know what could happen to the controller down the line. After less than a years usage, about 10-13 hours worth a week, the sixaxis controller became unusable. The ...  Read the complete review

I got the Sixaxis controller bundled with my PS3. I used it as my main controller for a few weeks, then eventually bought the Dual Shock. The controller is very light, obviously with the ommission of the rumble features, and the redundant analogue button (from the PS2 version) has now been replaced with the playstation on/off ...  Read the complete review

This controller helps the PS3 to stand out from its major competitor the xbox 360. By utilising a similair control system to the wii it involves you in games in a new and exciting way. It offers you the chance to control your console by the movement of your body. The controller still offers the same standard controls from both ...  Read the complete review

The Sony Sixaxis controller is a strange one! It is curiously light compared to the older controllers, but for those of you had not noticed, this is due to the removal of the "Rumble Feature". The reason this was removed is due to interference with the tracking sensors! The tracking sensors are built into the remote and ...  Read the complete review

The sony SIXAXIS controller is just amazing, its small light and there are no stupid wires that get tangled up with your other controllers. The first thing you will notice is that it does look basicly the same as ps1 and ps2 controller but if you were to look closely you would see some small very usefull adjustments, There is ...  Read the complete review
