Archive: 13 posts


I'm looking for a new controller for my ps3, and i dont want to pay 54 dollars for a new first party controller. i was looking around and the NYKO Zero for ps3 looks awesome, and got great reviews, I looked it up on amazon and its only 20 bucks! is this a good choice or are there any others that are better value?2008-09-20 18:49:00

I'm thinking of picking up a Zero. I want something with rumble, and I don't want to pay for the DualShock 3. The Zero's really ugly, unfortunately.2008-09-20 20:25:00

trust me when I say DONT BUY ANY 3RD PARTY HARDWARE! They are almost always terrible. The only good one I can think of was the wireless wavebird for the gcube. Stick with 1st party.2008-09-20 20:57:00

The Wavebird was an official 1st party controller.

Is the Wavebird the boomerang-looking one?

It was a wireless (and rumbleless) Gamecube controller.

The Dualshock3 is worth it for FPS games.. and i really enjoyed my Wavebird when I had a gamecube haha. I wouldn't buy the NYKO.. looks a bit weird.. like the Dreamcast controllers, if you can't get the Dualshock3 the sixaxxis is great.. cept for when the sticks have white under em and it can feel crusty so you'll have to get like a q-tip and damp it a little.2008-09-20 22:23:00
