  • A Retro Gaming Revival That's Like New!
I snagged this Renewed PlayStation 3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller in Black to revive my dusty PS3 collection—think endless hours of Uncharted, Gran Turismo, and LittleBigPlanet—and it's been an absolute blast from the past! At around $20-25, this Amazon Renewed gem is a steal for anyone chasing that nostalgic grip without dropping cash on a brand-new relic. After weeks of button-mashing through marathons, it's held up flawlessly, feeling just as responsive as the originals I owned back in 2008. If you're dusting off your PS3 or gifting a retro setup, this controller is a no-brainer—highly recommend for budget gamers! What I Love: Feels Brand-New Out of the Box: Amazon's Renewed process shines here—the black plastic is pristine with no scratches, the analog sticks are smooth and centered, and all buttons (including that satisfying D-pad) click with zero mushiness. It pairs instantly via USB (included cable) and switches to wireless mode seamlessly, with a rock-solid Bluetooth connection up to 30 feet. No lag or disconnects during intense sessions, even in a crowded living room. Iconic Rumble and Battery Life: That DualShock vibration feedback is pure magic—it rumbles just right for crashes in racing games or explosions in shooters, immersing you without being overkill. The built-in rechargeable battery lasts 6-10 hours on a full charge (about 2 hours to top up), and I've gone days between plugs. Sixaxis motion controls work flawlessly for games like Flower or Metal Gear Solid 4, adding that extra layer of tilt-and-turn fun. Ergonomic Comfort for Long Plays: The grippy textured handles fit my hands like a glove (I'm a medium-sized adult), preventing slippage during sweaty co-op battles. At 7.4 ounces, it's lightweight yet substantial, and the symmetric layout feels intuitive—no thumb cramps after hours of platforming. Perfect for solo or multiplayer mayhem. Renewed Reliability and Value: For the price, it's unbeatable—cheaper than eBay finds or new-old-stock, with Amazon's 90-day guarantee. It's eco-friendly too, giving old tech a second life without compromising quality. Any Downsides? The battery isn't user-replaceable (soldered in), so if you're a heavy user, plan for occasional charging. It lacks modern features like a headphone jack (PS3 era thing), but that's nitpicking for a console-specific controller. No issues with wear so far! Final Verdict: This Renewed DualShock 3 has breathed new life into my PS3, delivering that classic Sony magic with zero compromises. It's responsive, durable, and evokes all the nostalgia without the hassle of hunting for originals. Whether you're reliving PS3 glory days or introducing kids to retro gems, this controller nails it—grab one and get back to gaming. I've already added a second to the cart for couch co-op! ... show more

  • OEM with age?
It is OEM hardware quality without a doubt. All Sony responses are crisp and without hesitation. However.... The battery charge barely lasts 5hrs of use. So, I am left to believe that this unit has been sitting for years and years (which a PS3 age is commensurate with). Keep that in mind when ordering. ... show more

  • Good value
Arrived quick and in perfect condition. The controller felt factory new, even though it said refurbished. Controller fully worked, without any drift or sticky buttons. It came with a charging cable as well.

  • Buyer beware. Received defective and dirty controllers. Buyer beware. Received defective and dirty controllers.
I would strongly avoid purchasing from this group. Bought one controller, it was shipped with the wrong charging cable, was clearly heavily used and not remotely cleaned to refurbished. Originally this was advertised as brand new and not refurbished. It also would not hold a charge and the PCB inside had a defect with button input on the d-pad. I requested a replacement and shipped the first back. Unfortunately, the replacement was shipped with the wrong charging cable again. The right stick was broken (the thumb piece) and did not charge or even power on. Now been a week after i shipped both back and refund is hold up. Filed a complaint and will escalate immediately if i am not refunded. If anyone comes across this review, i would steer clear and if you do buy, be cautious of the product. ... show more

  • Fantastic performance, but experienced a sudden internal failure after 10 days.
I purchased this renewed DualShock 3 (Model: CECHZC2E) about a week and a half ago, and for that time, it was an excellent controller. Upon inspection, I confirmed it houses the updated A2 motherboard revision, and physically, it felt like a brand-new unit. The tactile experience was spot on—the button response, trigger bounce-back, and analog stick tension were perfect. It handled everything I threw at it, running PS1, PS2, and PS3 titles (both physical and digital) with zero issues, and it held a solid charge during wireless play. However, after 10 days of reliable use, the controller suddenly ceased all function. I have performed a thorough diagnostic protocol: I used the reset pin on the back to attempt a hard reboot. I tested the controller with four different, verified-data USB cables. I attempted to charge/connect it through multiple host devices, including my PS3, PS5, Xbox, and PC. Even when plugged in, the unit shows zero LED activity. Given that the shell and buttons are in such pristine condition, it appears to be a sudden failure of the battery or the internal charging circuit despite the upgraded hardware revision. It is a major disappointment, as the controller was performing perfectly until this point. I am now seeking a return as the unit is completely non-functional. More updates once return/replacement is processed... (3 stars for the time being.) ... show more
