Console Controllers

Genuine V Compatible


Looking for an additional Controller for a new(ish) PS3 for my Kids at Christmas
Should I go Genuine or Compatible? Kids are 5 & 7 so not sure they will notice the difference really, just more concerned about how reliable the compatible ones are compared to the Genuine ones. Big Difference in price so any input based on experience would be greatly appreciated

Comments

  • I bought my four year old a third party one and it was fine for him. The official Sony controllers are fantastic, great build quality and very accurate but not necessary for children. Argos have some great reasonably priced ones in.
  • Look at the PowerA minipro controllers, more comfortable for little hands.
