PS3 Controller Review

In the new version of PS3 there is a new version of PS3 controller. But one of the cons of the new game console from Sony is that in basic complectation there is only one PS3 controller (instead of two controllers in previous versions of the game console). The price for a new PS3 controller without the unit itself is from $60 to $150 (it depends on a provider and the model - it can be a basic model or a premium model for crazy gamers). But sometimes in the stores we can see a PS3 with an additional PS3 controller and the price is higher for about $20-$40. It's a good deal for those people who want to buy a new PS3 with not only one PS3 controller but with two of them.

A new PS3 controller is called Dual Shock 3. It is designed on the base of PS2 controller (Dual Shock 2) and has almost all features of the previous model. But a PS3 controller has some more additional changes. New PS3 controller is wireless and can operate for up to 32 hours on a full charge. In previous models the battery with not be replaceable, and with many discussions the designers of the new PS3 controllers decided to make a replaceable battery to make the service of the PS3 controller longer. The main feature of the new PS3 controller is to sense both rotational orientation. In other words, PS3 controllers has the motion-sensing feature. This feature was included in the PS3 controller almost before the official release of the controller. Many people think that this is the answer of the Sony to including of this feature in the controller of the Wii.

Also in the new PS3 controller the precision is increased (up to 10-bit). In the Dual Shock 2 there was an 8-bit precision. Appeared a button "PS button", that gives an opportunity to access to the home menu (in the previous version this button called "Analog").
