PS3 Controllers: SIXAXIS vs Dualshock 3?

Question

Is there any single reason why the SIXAXIS controller is better than the Dualshock 3 controller?

-Besides the cheaper price and the lighter weight

Answer 1

The battery lasts a little bit longer, not significantly, but a little

( I would've said it's lighter and cheaper, but you stated you already know that)

Answer 2

The battery lasts longer.

Thats all

Answer 3

Yeah the battery lasts longer.

They both do the same thing...

Answer 4

Dualshock 3 is better. It has the RUMBLE FUNCTION as well as the SIXAXIS FUNCTION.

SIXAXIS life lasts a bit longer than Dualshock 3 life because the SIXAXIS doesn't have a RUMBLE FUNCTION which means it has really not much battery to use on. But you can always charge it via USB cable to Ps3 when battery runs out.

DualShock 3 are heavier because it has the Rumble machine inside the controller.

SIXAXIS are made of a cheap plastic too. If you hold a SIXAXIS and feel it, you will hear a squeaky sound coming from the controller. Because its made of a cheap plastic.

However on Dualshock 3 its made of a high quality plastic. If you feel it, you won't hear any squeaky sound. Because its made of high quality equipment.

--------------------------------------...

And if you look at a SIXAXIS controller and put a light on it. You will see the inside of it. ( Kinda like translucent )

But on Dualshock 3 you won't see the inside of it which is good because you feel like its worth the price.

Here in New Zealand Dualshock 3 controllers costs $109 while SIXAXIS controllers costs $99. With that $10 difference I would rather buy a Dualshock 3 if I were you.

And if you have a PSN ( Playstation Network ) add me!

Answer 5

Answer 6

well most old games and new ones right now play only on sixaxis so you won't need a patch the battery life really isn't something better because you can charge it up so with what you said and more games play with it is about the only reason so get 2 sizaxis and 2 dualshock i have no dualshock i need one bad

Answer 7

Wow the battery on my Dualshock 3 lasts longer than my regular Sixaxis one.  I never use the vibration though.
