The Sony Dual Shock Controller is already ansich a class device. He sits comfortably in the hand, has plenty of buttons and can be operated super. The vibration effects are plus the icing on the cake, I would say. You can just play anything with this controller. What is compared to its competitors can not say (Gamecube, XBOX). These are just not right in your hand and do not work well finished. Quite different the Dual Shock controller. Even in black it looks classy and top handles. But, as it is called so beautiful Sony, "Satin Silver" provides the controller even better, nobler. I can only recommend everyone who wants to pick up a PS2 or a controller to select "Satin Silver". It just looks a lot more noble and you want to be so different from the masses). Without question, the product is worth the money.
