Sony PlayStation PS3 Wireless DualShock Controller - Playstation 3 (Black)

The DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller for the PlayStation®3 system provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIX AXISTM motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand.

It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. DUALSHOCK®3 utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller through the PlayStation®3 at anytime. By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation® controller design, the DUALSHOCK®3 will further enhance the advanced game play experience only available on the PlayStation®3 system.

Connect up to seven wireless controllers at one once for serious multiplayer gaming.

·  Charging
Charge the DUALSHOCK®3 with the PlayStation®3 system using the controller's USB cable. And you can even plug it in during gameplay, so you'll never miss a beat.

The DualShock 3 has been made available in various colors: black, satin silver, ceramic white, classic white,metallic blue, deep red,pink,"jungle green" (olive),"candy blue" (light blue),"urban camouflage" (three-color digital camouflage), "crimson red" (transparent red) and "cosmic blue" (transparent blue).Not all colors have been made available in all markets or at all times.

While the DualShock 3 is compatible with any standard USB mini-B cable and many USB chargers, official charging cables are available from Sony. These include an official cable, the USB 2.0 Cable Pack and a wall charger, the AC adapter charging kit. Any third-party USB charger used must act as a USB host device, rather than simply providing power over the appropriate pins, since both the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 require a host signal to "wake up" and begin charging.

The rear markings indicate the DualShock 3 draws up to 300 mA of current at 3.7 V for a power consumption of 1.11 W, an order of magnitude increase from the 30 mA of current at 3.7 V (0.111 W) listed on the Sixaxis.However, this current is not drawn constantly and is the maximum current when the rumble is active. Its main power source is an internal 3.7 V Li-ion battery with a tentatively capable of storing 570 mAh, which provides up to 30 hours of continuous gaming on a full charge. Third party replacement batteries are also available. Like the Sixaxis, the DualShock 3 comes with instructions on how to remove and replace the battery. The

DualShock 3 can also draw power over a USB cable via a USB mini-B connector on the top of the controller. This allows the controller to be used when the battery is low and is also used for charging the battery. When connected via USB, the controller communicates with the console through the USB cable, rather than Bluetooth.
