Background
The DualShock 3 was released by Sony as a controller for their PlayStation 3 game console. The controller was released in November 2007 for Japanese markets as a replacement to the Sixaxis controller which originally shipped with early PlayStation 3 consoles. The DualShock 3 was released to the rest of the world in 2008. Until 2013, the controller was sold in a variety of colors, with some being limited editions or available only with the purchase of a limited edition console.
Sony originally released the PlayStation 3 with the Sixaxis controller with its namesake ability to detect motion in six directions: three linear axes and three directions for rotation. After settling a patent infringement lawsuit with Immersion (a producer of haptic technology), Sony added the rumble motors featured in earlier DualShock controllers to the Sixaxis and released the new controller as the DualShock 3.
Identification
You can identify this controller by looking on the back for the model number “CECHZC2x.“ Unlike Sony’s previous controllers, the DualShock 3 can connect to devices using Bluetooth and has an internal battery so you can use it without a cable. It can be charged or connected directly to a console or computer with the mini-B USB port on the rear of the controller. Otherwise, the new revision is very similar on the exterior to the DualShock 1 and DualShock 2.
