Will you Replace your Sixaxis for Dual Shock 3's - Blu-ray Forum

NexusFX · 04-02-2008, 02:59 PM

I personally have 4 Sixaxis controllers and am wanting to replace them with Dual Shock 3's

I was wondering if anyone else was planning on doing this? I was also curious what you all think would be a good price to sell my Sixaxis Controllers at. Id like to offer them to all of you first. PM me if you are interested.

dont realy care too much for the dual shock controller. It doesnt help my game one bit.

CptGreedle · 04-02-2008, 03:04 PM

Nah. I will use the dualshock 3 as my main controllers, but keep the sixaxis (they work fine) for when friends come over.
I will have 4 controllers then. I waited to buy the last 2 for the dualshock 3. Now that time has come!

MacDaddyOJack · 04-02-2008, 03:05 PM

Nope, I imagine that the dual shock 3's will eat up some battery and add significant weight. Plus, I like and have gotten used to the light Sixaxis. I don't want to go back to a heavy Dualshock.

Rovic · 04-02-2008, 03:07 PM

I will stick it out with the sixaxis....rumbling part of the controller isn't that important to me...

Fenix88 · 04-02-2008, 03:10 PM

already have. imported it and have had since dec. 07 adds a little weight to the controller which i like and is just awesome. also battery last just as long as the sixaxis.

tacoreed · 04-02-2008, 03:11 PM

Since I've already dropped $$ on three additional sixaxis controllers, probably not.

DetroitSportsFan · 04-02-2008, 03:14 PM

I have no interest in DS3.

Brian Cash · 04-02-2008, 03:16 PM

i would like it because its heavier i dont like the sixasis cause its so damn lite

savage1984 · 04-02-2008, 03:17 PM

i will get one eventually but I'll still keep the other two.

Grubert · 04-02-2008, 03:17 PM

I do have a PS3, but... what's a Sixaxis?

Luis_A51 · 04-02-2008, 03:18 PM

I have 2 SIXAXIS' now, so ill only buy 2 Dualshock3s (for me and the gf) and then the 2 sixaxis can be used when friends come over and want to play 4 player games.

Mystique · 04-02-2008, 03:19 PM

I only have two sixaxis controllers right now and I'm planning to add two more dualshock3. If you guys trade in your controller at gamestop, you guys will only get 9 dollars. That's right 9 dollars and the controller is 50.

Thanos417 · 04-02-2008, 03:20 PM

I already have replaced them, imported a black one and a white one.

Dynamo of Eternia · 04-02-2008, 03:24 PM

Well, I don't even have many games for my PS3 yet (the only one I have it Motorstorm, which came with the system, and while it is impressive graphically, I just don't care much for this type of game). Currently I am mainly using my PS3 as a Blu-Ray player, and I only have the Sixaxis controller that came with it, and the Blu-Ray remote. Speaking as someone who has all of the current console systems, at the moment there isn't much game-wise out for the PS3 that I care about. I hope for that to eventually change. When/if that does change, I will probably just hang onto the one Sixaxis controller that I have now and get a Dualshock 3 to have two controllers in total. It's rare that I have tons of people over to play games, so there's not much of a reason for me to buy up to 4 controllers, and so I think I could get by with the combo of one of each.

This poll really should have had more options (i.e. instead of "replacing" existing controllers, just buying new ones in addition to any that are already owned, etc.)

NexusFX · 04-02-2008, 03:28 PM

Wish I'd a thought of that when making it, can't change it now

Blu Falcon · 04-02-2008, 03:29 PM

I'm used to slaying on-line opponents when playing CoD4 with the regular sixaxis, so I'll stick with what's been working.

However, I love the dualshock when playing horror games like Fatal Frame or Silent Hill.

tchxc · 04-02-2008, 03:35 PM

I also imported my ds3 a while ago, the battery life on my ds3 is actually better than my sixaxis. I don't know if it is because I had the sixaxis from launch and it is older or not. The ds3 is definently worth getting. I enjoy warhawk so much more with it. I wish cod4 would implement rumble.

mgonzo2u · 04-02-2008, 03:37 PM

Not until I find a smoking deal that is about 50% less than the kick off pricing.

Branden · 04-02-2008, 03:52 PM

i've got 2 sixaxis and 1 DS3, any controllers i get from now on wil be DS3 as well. my original sixaxis will still be fine backup controllers for when batteries die or the rare occasion that an extra controller is needed for multiplayer.
