Review: Genuine PS3 Sony Controller - I recently broke my controller that came with my super slim ps3. I had bought the ps3 from desertcart at Christmas and so asked desertcart and Playstation if the controller was covered as well as the console. I was informed within 1 hour of my email by desertcart that the controller was covered and I wouldn't have to return the console or controller as they no longer had the console in stock and I had added a hard drive and didn't want to return the whole thing. They informed me they had refunded £36.99 the cost of a controller onto the card used to buy the console. All this within 4 hours of writing to them. Brilliant service. After reading reviews about dodgy, fake controllers and other rubbish third party controllers I decided to play it safe and order direct from desertcart. As a result, I ordered at 4pm on Friday and receive it 8.30am Saturday, and it is 100% genuine. I recommend reading reviews and going for a genuine retailer. Pay the extra because as they say you get what you pay for. It's rare to get a real bargain if its not second hand. Don't go for third party retailers. I did with a laptop charger and got a cheap fake, exactly what I'd paid for at the price. Pay for the Sony quality, and what's more if it breaks again you have the 12 month warranty from date of purchase to fall back on, and judging by my experience, if you go for a genuine retailer like desertcart too, you also have the fantastic customer service and quick resolving of any issues too. Definitely worth an extra £10. If it breaks you can be sure to get a new one.
Review: Good controller, does not come with a cable - I actually purchased this controller to use for my PC games and now that I have it set up it works perfectly. It works wirelessly using a simple, cheap USB dongle and charges by just plugging it into the PC with a USB port. It's an idea PC controller. Of course I forgot that it wouldn't come with a charger cable as Sony expect someone buying this to already own a PS3 and a charger, which I did not, but because it uses a generic USB Mini B connector I was able to use one from an old MP3 player to connect it instead. The fact that it uses generic products as accessories makes it very handy to use as a PC controller instead of the Xbox 360 wireless ones, which require a special charger and wireless adaptor.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have seen a strong correlation in responses, concerning the possibility of this controller being 'a fake'. What supports this? Thanks.**
A: I was getting suspicious about the short battery life and i took my chances and opened up the controller. Since i have an original sony controller  i compared the two and the inside is completely different. The architecture, components and the battery quality is not near as good as the original. The problem is that from the outside i could not tell the difference. The plastic is as good as the original as for the package. Is a well made conuter faction product that will only reveal it's true nature once you start using it.

**Q: Why has this last gen controller increased in price?  I expected it to fall, if anything.**
A: Simple really, as they wind down production of PS3's to make room for PS4 production, peripherals are the 1st thing to be cut down, so there's less of them available, so the price climbs. There will be a point where they become cheap as wholesalers clear stock, but that won't be for a while yet, once PS3 sales drop.

**Q: Does anyone know if this comes with a charger cable or not?**
A: No it doesn't. I bought it couple of weeks ago!

**Q: Is this compatible with PC? I want to play games on my laptop but I prefer Playstation controllers to XBOX ones which is more commonly used.**
A: Google for SCP drivers for PS3 pad. Works fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be Aware - Buy From Amazon Directly
*by C***P on 1 February 2013*

After searching and searching and having my doubts about some of the "Official" PS3 Controllers on sale from the marketplace, I decided to spend a few extra quid and order direct from Amazon. So glad I did. You can guarantee a genuine product. Whilst not all "Official" PS3 Controllers on Amazon are fake, I read enough reviews from other buyers from other traders on the marketplace that put me off. Some controllers not working, some having a mind of their own, fake packaging, poorly built and the list goes on. So I am glad I paid those extra couple of pounds as what I got was a genuine, fully working "Official" PS3 Controller. Amazon gave me that peace of mind that I needed and that assurance of expecting to get exactly what I wanted & paid for. Check out what both K. Pang & MKG have said in their reviews, it's excellent advice and thanks to their reviews I made the right choice by buying from Amazon directly.
