Looks good but looks can be deceiving. I only buy controllers from the company that made the console.

It's probably missing a lot

It probably doesn't have sixaxis motion(yeah they make Ps3 controllers without that), the rumble probably isn't advanced as the DS3, it may even be missing pressure sensitivity for a price like that

I would never buy a controller other than the one for the system like hiryu3 said

The PS3 sixaxis lost the dual shock 2's analog pressure sensitive buttons. Sony actually told dev's later to stop using it for games since the buttons would wear out and lose sensitivity.

I don't know about that, it still has it. Try driving 4x4 in warhawk. It goes as fast as you push

Go to Gran Turismo HD or Prologue. Push the X button. Watch the brake/accel meter. See if you can get it to 50% without tapping. No? Digital buttons.

maybe its different game by game? I know warhawk and madden still have it. Or maybe Gt5 didnt have it because its a demo?

Just went on and checked with Prologue. Holy crap, it does have them. Maybe just HD didn't use them? I've been using L1 & R2 so I hadn't checked with Prologue till now. You're right, sixaxis does indeed have analog face buttons. Could have sworn I read that they got removed though.

Didn't they scrap the touchsense idea?
I read somewhere that they weren't implimenting it in the DS3.

I have yet to feel any zones...ie touchsense. I have felt a difference in how much vibration there is but thats nothing new.

He's right Warhawk does have it the jeep does move faster according to pressure applied. I don't know if your talking about GT5 Prologue demo or GT:HD so I can't really decipher which one you're talking about but I'm sure GT5 will have pressure sensitive it's still there.

No touchsense unfortunately. And I already said that sixaxis has analog face buttons.
