I notice that it hasn't had 1 disconnect durring game play unlike my old sixaxis controllers.

jackdoe5879d ago

I haven't had many disconnects with the sixaxis to begin with. The main cause of the disconnect is interfering blu-tooth devices. BTW, didn't disagree with you cause I don't have a Dual Shock 3 yet.

Lifendz5879d ago

Charging it before I use it. Can't wait to try out Rrrrrrrrr rumble!

Da360sucks5879d ago (Edited 5879d ago )

i never had 1 disconnect during game old with sixaxis controllers
and none with New DualShock 3
the new DualShock 3 feel better
because it has more weight on it

rbanke5879d ago

The controller that shipped with my ps3 did that constantly, the extra i bought never did. Regardless, i preordered gt5p & a ds3 today.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI5879d ago

Sixaxis controller disconnects on its own? Never happened to me before luckily. BUT, nonetheless DS3 is the way to go.

TwissT5879d ago

Sometimes my controller causes the person I am playing in a FPS to spin around, it pisses me off sometimes because it does it at the wrong time.

jadenkorri5879d ago

ordered mine from play asia...no disconnects like the original...funny how i never really see people actually post about it...i think the rrod over shadowed it..

Harry1905878d ago

disconnects happen sometimes.
i want my ds3.want

lawgone5878d ago

Agree...this used to happen to me on Resistance a lot when it first came out which would result in me point my weapon in the air and spinning around while I got jacked up lol. It hasn't happened in the last month or so though. Even worse was on the 360 when I would play Bioshock and would regenrate my charachter would unload a precious clip of ammo while waiting for the vitachamber doors to open - essentially ensuring a quick death when I got out. Still one of the best games ever though...

yesah5878d ago

i didnt know i could get DS3 yet, and i just bought another sixaxis a few weeks ago....Damn

DS3 is vastly superior to Suxaxus.

I'd like to start off by saying that yes, I'm the real Bill Gates and yes I've had a PS3 since launch. Great system. The new controllers are heavier and they don't feel as cheap.

TheWickedOne5879d ago

Actually you started off by saying "DS3 is vastly superior to Suxaxus."

Anyways, can't wait for the Dualshock, although I had no problems w/ my sixaxis. Aside from it had no rumble.

BilI Gates5879d ago

Don't correct foo'.

meepmoopmeep5879d ago

the best thing about the DS3 is the weight. i wish they would have cured the triggers out though.

resistance1005878d ago

i've actually come to like the triggers now, i wasn't sure about them when i first got the console, but since then i've found they really do work

thehitman5879d ago

BUT the weight. The weight has a good feel to it when I play, but when it drops it breaks pretty easy. I have 3 controllers one that has some lose bolt or w.e it is inside that shakes around and turns off from time to time and use to have a controller that the R1,R2,L2,L1 were all ripped off because my lil brother threw it. I bought a brand new 1 with warranty and got the 1 with rip buttons replaced so I have 2 spanking new 1s now. Im waiting for dual shock3 to get the shacky 1 replaced my friend going to buy 1 and im going to pay for his warranty to get it replaced.

eagle215879d ago

The Dualshock 3 is awesome. Perfect weight, durable, great battery life, charges fast, excellent SIXAXIS mechanics etc. My friend loves the SIXAXIS, doesn't need rumble. It's about preference. From the D-pad, analog sticks, to the HOME button, it feels perfect. The Dualshock won an technical emmy award in 2007 by the way. The XMB won an emmy in 2007 too but who's bragging? :)

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger883h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis20h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast18h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake12h ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
