Hey all this is Sam AKA Para in the gaming review community. This is one of many gaming reviews I will be starting for Amazon, so I hope you enjoy. Going to be talking about the PS3 controller which I have to say right off the bat has a great feel to it. It is light but durable at the same time. After playing for long hours I notice no pain in my hands, just the way the designed this controller it just fits right in your hands and is not stressing out you muscles or having you to curve your hands around it just to hold it. The vibration feedback is very well and is not super strong that it feels like a back massager or making your hands go numb, but it is not also so weak that you cannot even feel it. It gives just the right amount. The motion control has been done very well and I was surprised at first but they nailed it. You don't even need a wii mote for the simple technology Sony has put in the controller lol. The triggers are in just the right position but the triggers themselves could use a bit of a lift, they just seem a bit too small. I love that everything is pressure sensitive from the triggers to the actually buttons with is great for racing games. The joy sticks are perfectly assessable and once again do not strain your hands trying to use them. Overall the controller is very nice and easy to use. Battery life is the best I have seen in a wireless controller to date. Good work Sony not changing to original controller, only improving them slightly (Don't change what isn't broken and Sony has done that with the controller). Hope this review helps and look forward for my other game reviews.
silver cheaper?

Reviewer: Graham Weiss
for some reason this silver controller was $5 cheaper than all other colors?
IMO all controllers are the same color doesn't matter.
Blue better than black

Reviewer: dash-o
I needed a second rumble controller to play SpecOps in COD: Modern Warfare 2, and I went for blue. This controller is definitely better than the black one I got a while back because it is not as smooth. The smooth surface of the black controller causes sweaty hands, which I really dislike.
I am however taking couple of stars. One because the battery should last longer, and another because they wear out around the analog joysticks causing them to "stick" over time. No amount of lubrication fixes the sticking problem.
I am certain it doesn't cost a lot to make these controllers. I suspect materials selection went into the projected lifespan of the controller to ensure we come back for replacements--I am on replacements five and six.
Excellent
