Works with ps3 and pc. There's hope for pc drivers, yet. Impressions, as usual, are great. Everyone's loving the new controller.

I wonder if it'll work better on the PC if connected through Bluetooth instead of USB

May have to get one for Jet Set Radio play. Jet Set Radio with a dual shock 3 is torture. I cannot play like a pro with that controller.

Works on PS3 on PC? Damn thats great. Good reason to pick up one even without a PS4.

It's about time they did that. I remember people always asking me if their PS1 controllers would work on their PS2.

I'm not sure if it works wirelessly with ps3, though. If that's a negative for you I'd hold off. Also, its pc integration is limited due to its use of dinput but given it works with some pc games, like Psychonauts with direct input already, it's highly likely Sony could be working on pc drivers. So don't get it if you're going to use it on pc.

No it doesnt "work" on PS3.

The rumble, PS button, and others do not work. You must connect a USB cable to it when playing. Perhaps Sony will make it work with a FW update.

Shame he didn't show the properties in Windows, that would have been a lot more helpful and he could have tested what buttons windows sees. I assume it shows up as a generic DirectInput controller, which is why it won't work in Xcom because expects Microsoft's Xinput.

Stanley Parable doesn't look like it's set up for a controller at all, but it's Source, right? It should be fully configurable.
