We like:
Slightly heavier than DualShock 2; rumble function added to many existing games via downloadable patches
We don't like:
Somewhat overpriced; doesn't come with a USB cable for recharging; rechargeable battery isn't removable
CNET.co.uk judgement:
While it costs more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning
