Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhance Your Gaming Experience with the PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller (Black) by Rick Everett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is not a real Dualshock 3 controller, don't be fooled.

Whether that's true, there are quite a few reviews here and I've concluded that most of the items sold are fake. It's really impressive how well they've hidden this as they look authentic from the logo to the overall quality of the controller. The only thing that stood out was that they used the Japanese packaging when they first released the Dualshock 3 instead of the newer packaging from 2013+ which is very similar to the packaging of the Dualshock 4. That and the label on the back it is not the right material for stickers that use the original controllers, they also contain other information. Also, it looks almost identical (with some differences in small details). Final Verdict: If you're looking for the Dualshock 3 you're probably best off going to the actual store as all of them on Amazon seem to be either third-party controllers or more of a Chinese rip-off, which I find really weird, weird that the PS3 is getting still alive and well. Sure, these controllers should work, but if you're already paying $45-60 for one, buy the real one instead. Here is also an image comparing a Chinese sticker (black) to a real controller (gold). ) (Ignore the quality of the gold controller, I bought it used with my PS3)

Pros
  • Play wirelessly with up to seven friends;
Cons
  • exorbitant price
