The Benefits Of PlayStation 3 Controllers
PlayStation 3 controllers are necessary instruments and gadgets that are used to managed the game and manipulate the characters in the game. Sony initially released the SIXAXIS as the official PlayStation 3 controller. It is a wireless controller that allows the player many different options. Today, the SIXAXIS is currently being phased out of the market of gaming and will be replaced by yet another Dual Shock controller. The Dual Shock 3 has yet to be released in this 2008 summer season and will be formally introduced as the official PlayStation 3 controller.
Features Of The PlayStation 3 Controllers
The controllers connect to the PlayStation 3 device via Bluetooth technology but also have the option of being connected to either the gaming console, a personal computer or to be charged with a mini USB cable. The batteries in the controllers have an estimated running time of around 30 hours. The batteries in the controllers of the PlayStation 3 are made of lithium ion.
These PlayStation 3 controllers are similar in design to the Dual Shock controller design that as been used since the initial PlayStation device came out a decade or so ago. This means that the controls have two D pads in the front of the controllers with two thumb sticks on top and the usual six buttons for movement and controlling the characters. The new controllers for the PlayStation 3 are remarkably light with which some critic are quick to criticize as having a very cheap feeling. The lack of heft on the other hand can actually be a bonus especially for those who will play on the PlayStation for hours on end. These PlayStation 3 controllers will eventually feel comfortable as your arms and hands get tired of playing.
The Dualshock PlayStation 3 controllers were initially advertised to have vibration capability but sources have claimed that the soon to be released controllers for the PlayStation 3 might not have the vibration feature that many have come to relish when using the PlayStation controllers. The so called rumble feature reacts when your character in the game gets hit or when there is a lot of movement in the game.
PlayStation 3 controllers allow the players a uniquely large range of movements and options. Combinations of different moves are sure to arise, as many of the gamers using the PlayStation are sure to be comfortable using the old design of the PlayStation controllers.
