About the Product
With pressure-sensitive buttons and unique SIXAXIS motion-sensing technology, the metallic blue DualShock 3 Wireless Controller from Sony provides an intuitive gameplay experience on the Sony PlayStation 3 gaming console. Each hit, crash, and explosion is amplified by the vibrations felt through the DualShock 3.
The SIXAXIS controller utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless gameplay and the controller's USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the hardware at anytime. Furthermore, unlike other interactive controllers, the SIXAXIS controller is easy to set-up and is compatible with today's monitors and televisions.
