Im still a Sixaxis owner and i think i want to upgrade it.Opinions if its worth the money of actual game instead.

I upgraded, and despite the nicer feel of the controller with the added bulk, I really don't think its worth it... Enough money for a new game, just for some rumbling? Meh... 

I don't like the added weight of the DS3, I'll stick with my Sixaxis.

If you only have one controller, yeah go for it. Beyond the nicer feel it's not much, very few games ever use rumble in a meaningful way anyway, but it's always a good idea to own two controllers at the very least for any system.

Get a new game, or better yet get 2 old games or put that money in your PSN account for when fat princess and other stuff comes out

I prefer my controllers to have weight to them. Do PS3's currently on the shelf come stock with Dualshocks now?

MGS 4 uses rumble in a good way tho

Yes, do it. It'll feel much better and it has rumble!

Meh   its worth it for newer games

Yes! Upgrading from the SIXAXIS to the Dualshock 3 is like night and day! You will tell a difference and the controller just feels so much better. 

If you need two controllers, sure =) The only reason I finally made the move was to play local two-player games.

Only if you want vibrating stuff. I did, games feel more awesome. Up to you dawg.

100% worth it.

I would say upgrade, I love my dual shock 2 and I can not wait to get a PS3 and play with the dual shock 3 controller.

I still use my Sixaxis, works the same, it's just lighter.

I don't know...reading from this forum, people's opinions are very mixed. I say the more solid feel and the rumble is worth it. The Sixaxis made it feel like I was holding a very delicate china dish or some shit like that. Added weight from the rumble feels very nice.

yes they are so much better

I too am in a position where I'm deciding whether I should upgrade or not. The basic line is, that this is a decision between money and vibration. I've gotten pretty used to playing games without vibration and I honestly think that vibration isn't such a thing that would shape a definitive upper edge with general game experiences. As already pointed out in this topic, instead of getting another controller, there's the option of rather getting a game for the same price. Since these clear facts have been placed out, I've decided to find an alternative, and that's an USB converter for the DualShock 2. If I really wanted vibration that bad, and ignoring the motion sensor, this would be the cheapest way to go.

Rumble isn't that a huge of a deal for me, but feeling some weight to the controller makes it tons more comfortable to play.
I'm afraid the SIXAXIS might start floating if I don't grip it tight enough

Maybe.But not sure. "

Yes.

It isn't a big deal, but I have problems with the motion stuff with the Dualshock. Weight throws me off while trying to barely lean it. Like the falling scenes in Ratchet and Clank.

you tol should i mean rumble just like star fox 64 man!

It is absolutely worth the money. Amazon has them on sale for around $43 right now. The rumble makes it worth it already and it's nice to have some more heft on the DS3. It doesn't make it feel fragile like the original SIXAXIS controller. 

I'd say go for it. The added weight was enough for me really to plop down my money for one, but the rumble does make me happy to have again.
