This would be a fantastic pad had it been released for the PS/PS2. Why? Because the one major difference between those controllers and that of the PS3 is SIXAXIS. This pad has none of that functionality and so games that require you to have it (e.g. Folklore, Heavenly Sword) are rendered useless. The fans work a treat but they won't cool down the rage that will ensue for those who buy this pad regardless. Avoid unless you are buying it to play games downloaded from the PlayStation Network or are playing PS2 games on your 60gb PS3.

You've been warned.

...maybe i just got a bad one but the shoulder (L1, L2, R1, R2)buttons have no sensitivity at all! you have to use so much pressure to get them to work your hand will cramp up in minutes and they are wobbly if you press them in the wrong place they wont register any pressure at all
other than that, the cooling fan, the other buttons and the ergonomics are great but useless without working shoulder buttons
