Nyko Blu-Wave IR Remote Control for Playstation 3 a Welcome Sight

Playstation 3 owners: Fiddle with that programmable monster remote no longer. Nyko is here to save you the hassle with the Blu-Wave IR remote control, a simple USB/remote solution that will let you control DVD playback in a more traditional way rather than with the Sixaxis, Sony’s official Playstation 3 controller. The buttons on the…

PS3 SIXAXIS Rumble Returning Soon

Now that all the lawsuit business is over between Sony and Immersion, the former is free to incorporate rumble back into their controllers. The PlayStation Magazine France edition has some details on the upcoming rumbling gamepads. First, all that motion sensing can co-exist with rumble. Who’d have thought? Oh, right, everyone but Sony. We seriously…

Pelican’s PS2 to PS3 Controller Adapter Hands-On

One of the main complaints about PS3’s backward compatibility for PS2 games is the inability to use custom PS2 controllers like the DDR dance pads and the Guitar Hero guitars. For $14.99, Pelican gives you a cheap way to get your old controllers to work with your old games on your new system. On the…

DIY PS3 Sixaxis Charging Station

Is your Sixaxis feeling left out from all the Wiimote charging stations you’ve been scoping out? Now you can build one yourself for the PS3. All you need is some wood, USB cables, cutting blades and the ability to not hack your fingers off while you’re working. On second thought, you’d probably be better off…

PS360: Microsoft Controller, Meet Sony Controller

No, the world is not ending. But modder Ben Heck has taken the innards of a PS3 controller and magically fitted them into the Xbox 360 body. This includes the battery and USB charging port, making this “PS360” controller completely functional on your PS3. After once opening/destroying a Dual Shock with the hopes of fixing…

Microsoft Doesn’t Jump On Motion Control Bandwagon … Yet

The motion-controlling Wiimote and SIXAXIS seem to be taking the console gaming world by storm, but they are weaksauce, at least according to Microsoft. I’ll just let Microsoft’s Chris Satchell do the talking: One thing I’m not certain of is that third parties are super-excited about that motion control—or at least they’re not showing it…

PS3 Vibration Return Confirmed?

This could just be a case of a mistaken developer, but Cory Barlog, a guy working on the PS3 version of God of War 3, has said there will be SIXAXIS and vibration support in the upcoming game. Wait, vibration support? Through the “standard” SIXAXIS controller? Does this mean that Sony’s recent settlement with Immersion…

Sony Settles Vibrator Dispute, Rumble Coming Back?

Sony and Immersion have settled their long-faught lawsuit regarding the rumble technology Sony uses in its controllers. The deal reached between Sony and Immersion would open a door allowing Sony to add this technology to the Sixaxis controllers for the PS3. Immersion’s CEO has already stated that a technical proposal for rumble PS3 controllers will…

PS3 Sixaxis Controller To Get Force Feedback After All?

You’ll soon feel every bump and jolt while playing with the PS3’s Sixaxis controller… maybe. A hardware manufacturer by the name of SplitFish apparently figured out a way to give the Sixaxis rumble without infringing on Immersion’s patents. (Immersion holds a number of key patents on controller vibration functionality and it’s widely believed that Sony…

The SIXAXIS Doesn’t Time Out

Remember when we said that the Wii’s Wiimote times out just like the Xbox 360’s and the PS3’s? Yeah, scratch one of those off the list. After leaving the SIXAXIS on the couch for a couple hours, we noticed the PS3’s screensaver came on but the light on top of the controller was still active.…

PS3 SIXAXIS Controller’s Battery Is Kinda Replaceable

Even though Sony’s said that they will replace dead SIXAXIS controllers once the battery life is gone—there’s actually a note that the battery has a limited life-span in the manual—they also give you a method for removing the battery. All you have to do is unscrew 5 screws on the back of the controller, pull…

PS3 Ad Focuses On SIXAXIS, Not Crazy Babies

In a move that actually makes sense (WTF Sony?), the latest ad for the PlayStation 3 highlights the fact that the SIXAXIS has tilt sensing capabilities. Though from the video, it looks like the SIXAXIS has god-like powers as well, but we’ll chalk that up to creative license. It’s good that Sony’s finally making an…

He will kick your butt at any PS3 game, as long as it isn’t past his bedtime. Now all we need is the video of the boy crying as his dad/Kotaku editor rips the controller from his child’s hands to finish Resistance. Kiddo first hates the SIXAXIS, then settles in to liking it. In the…

SIXAXIS Autopsy

Our “we think we’re cool because we wear Mario underwear” friends at Kotaku posted that Sony’s new SIXAXIS controller has been meticulously dissected. The verdict? To their chemically-induced point of view, the controllers have plenty of room for vibration in the handles. And we agree. Just check out those hollow caverns of wasteful nothingness. While…

Sony Will Replace Dead SIXAXIS Controllers

Thanks to the fact that Sony’s SIXAXIS controllers feature USB charging and non-replaceable batteries, your gamepads are going to have less and less charge as the months pass—and there’s nothing you can do about it. Luckily for us, a spokesperson told GamesIndustry that Sony will exchange your controller whenever that day comes, saving you the…

Is the PS3 Controller Garbage?

IGN UK took the SIXAXIS PS3 controller to town, groping it rough in some back alley behind their cubicle farm, going on to say it feels cheaper than the joypad on a Chinese NES knockoff. Chinese Atari knockoff, even. The newly-designed lower L and R shoulder triggers feel more like they belong on a prototype.…

We first saw eDimensional’s GPAD Pro way back at E3, back when it was shaped more like a PS2 Dual-Shock.
