Play Station 3 wireless controller - SXIAXIS

The new wireless contoller, SIXAXIS, has been designed for the Play Station 3 and is just as unique.

The iconic Play Station 3 controller has a revolutionary form for the PLAY STATION 3 and it is called the SIXAXIS Wireless Controller. Adding fantastic new features, it brings game handling firmly into the next generation.

Bluetooth technology allows up to seven controllers to connect to the system wirelessly, freeing the controller from the system and avoiding tangled wires - and making multiplayer sessions easier to set up.

This added freedom is doubly useful, as the controller is also motion-sensitive, detecting movement through six axes. Imagine a flying game where you simply tilt your controller left to turn left, or a puzzle game where you can control the tilt and angle of a maze in perfect synchronicity with your controller. This is now a reality thanks to the innovative SIXAXIS Wireless Controller - a controller that's engineered to allow unique new experiences, while still providing a benchmark that's familiar to millions.

In 2008, the DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller will be released, a new controller for Playstation 3 Console incorporating a vibration function.

Keeping the classic design and functionality of the SIXAXIS Wireless Controller, the new DUALSHOCK 3 takes the current highly realistic motion-sensitive system, and adds a vibration function that creates an extra level of immersion as part of your playing experience.
