LavaGlow PS3 Controller - Cheaper than the Real Thing

Here is a cool little piece of budget gaming tech. These LavaGlow controllers actually retail for less than regular PS3 controllers. What makes them even better is the fact that they glow. If you like playing games at night with the lights out, you won't have to go hunting for your controls. Nobody has any idea how well these things handle, but if cheap PS2 controllers are anything to go by, you will probably be sacrificing a little bit of smoothness. That is OK in most games and perfectly acceptable for the controller that your buddy or your little brother gets to use.

They take 3 AAAs, come in red or blue, and cost $34.99

Nice idea. But it would be better if they rumbled.

I'm sure that there will be a rumble version once they get a Sony-branded controller to reverse engineer.

Panthers6027d ago

They take batteries. Thats the best thing about the PS3 controllers is that you never have to buy new batteries.

CRIMS0N_W0LF6027d ago

Will the battery charge be correct when checking it on PS?

Lightning Mr Bubbles6027d ago

Just look at it. I never buy third party controllers, this should cost like 2 dollars.

Bonsai12146027d ago

yeah.. it even says in the description, "no one knows how it'll handle" which isn't a good sign.

and it better be cheaper than the real thing. sixaxis retail at 50 bucks a pop..

Twizlex6027d ago

It is cheaper than the real thing. It says that right in the title. How you missed that is beyond me. If you actually read it, it says it costs $34.99.

Bonsai12146027d ago

i knew it was cheaper. i was affirming the statement by saying it better have been, because if it were more expensive, no one would buy it.

games4fun6027d ago

sixaxis i'm wondering about it because i bought a logitech i had to take it back because i wanted my friend to play warhawk but it didnt have sixaxis control so i had to take it back

its annoying when they say it is a ps3 controller but it has no sixaxis

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7217h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
