Re: ps3 controllers

They're all compatable.

Does your vibrate ? If not, its a sixaxis - if it does then its a dualshock 3.

Dualshock 3 are the better newer ones.

thanks deejay.
mine dont vibrate,but there fine for cod.
mine have 4 lights so id thought maybe they were only compatible with the 60gb as it has 4 usb ports.
thanks for clearing this up.

Re: ps3 controllers

This'll save me makin a new thread, If you use your Dualshock 3 wired do you get a slightly faster response time than having it wireless ? in games like FIFA can it make a difference..
