The Dual Triggers from Amazon solve that problem for me.
Edited for great (cornflake) justice.
This is my parts list from Amazon, I just googled Retro Pi installation guide and used one of the top results;
CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3
Samsung 32GB EVO (storage is entirely based on your budget and how much space you think you will need)
Raspberry Pi Case (lots of options)
Wired Controller (lots of options)
Card Reader (If your PC doesn't have one already)
Add in an HDMI cable if you don't have an extra laying around.
You are correct.
Amazon Link "Dual Triggers"
It being a Razer product in no way justifies the price. At best, it explains it, as Razer is infamous for selling overpriced, crap products. Even this stick is literally a rip-off of the Mad Catz fightpad, except it's even less usable (no analog stick) and somehow costs like 4 times as much. Even the very similar Hori Fighting Commander is a third of the price.
I hate the PS3 controller because it causes my hands to cramp after an hour or so of playing. Personally i love the 360 controller, and i use it for playing on my PC. So i tried to buy a third party PS3 controller, and they all more or less are junk. Both me and my roomate spent around a month trying various controllers. Most of the third party PS3-360 controllers are junk, unfortunately.
http://www.amazon.com/computers-accessories/dp/B007SO06O6
Tried it, unfortunately it causes a rather noticeable and annoying input delay that would randomly happen. I remember playing Killzone 3 and there were times where my view would keep moving for a bit, after letting off the stick.
A similar problem occurred with Red Dead Redemption, where during the duels my targeting reticule would keep moving even after i let off the stick for less than half a second (it sounds like not much, but when you need some level of precision its extremely frusturating).
http://www.amazon.com/Turbo-BATTLE-Controller-Adapter-Playstation-3/dp/B006TSD9SM
Similar problems to the adapter above.
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-EX-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003VWXV50
A massive dead zone in the analog sticks along with a DPAD that was completely unresponsive.
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Elite-Wireless-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B003V4AK8E
There is a massive dead zone in the analog sticks, and feels extremely cheap. The wireless also seems to drop out at random. However it is the only 3rd party PS3 controller with 360 layout that has SIXAXIS.
http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AP-1-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003IU01LC
Terrible, terrible controller. The analog sticks are so awful i just returned it right away.
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-FUS1ON-Tournament-Controller-PlayStation-3/dp/B0096KF7O4
I got to try this controller after it was lent to me by a friend. It worked worked really well, and i played through Killzone 2, and RDR without any issues. Unfortunately it is expensive and lacks SIXAXIS.
MadCatz also makes a MLG Controller for PS3, i tried it a couple of months ago. Overall i thought it was pretty great. But i have never seen it for sale in Canada.
Saitek also made a controller Cyborg V3 (that i can't find on amazon), that lets you flip the position of the analog sticks, but i can't find it anymore and they oddly seem to have completely switched to flight sim sticks.
I truly cannot belive no one has suggested Valkyria Chronicles. It's a 3rd person strategy/rpg/shooter and if you can get over the anime art atyle the gameplay is amazing. Also it's only $20 most places.
These are my personal favorite RPGs on the system atm:
Oblivion: GOTY
Demon's Souls
White Knight Chronicles
Dragon Age
I haven't played Star Ocean 4 International Edition or Final Fantasy XIII but I've heard they're wuite good.
You need to play LittleBigPlanet and Heavy Rain simply because they offer amazing modern gaming experiences.
You can buy some contorller add ons like triggers, thumbstick caps and cover skins. I also have large hands which cramp easily but I have found that by combining these three add-ons the controller is much more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time.
I also highly recommend checking out the Bannco Fragnstein to help easy your transition from the mouse/keyboard set-up. This controller is excellent for 1st adn 3rd person perspective games such as Oblivion and Uncharted 2.
As others have stated using the PS3 for internet browsing (especially with bluetooth keyboard and mouse) NETFLIX and as a media server are excellent uses of the system. If you have a PSP you can connect the two and remotely access your PS3 using your PSP from anywhere you can grab a wifi signal.
-Bonus Points- Coming out soon is a gaem called Gothic 4: ArcanA. The Gothic series has always been a very dark, mature role-playing series with more of a fanbase in Europe (Germany especially) and I think finding a German language of that game shoudl not be too difficult.
Not sure how it still being
micromini usb is that relevant in all honesty, it's just a connection type used for charging/pairing (and a charging dock is like $20).Best Buy's pricing for those is pretty wacky imo anyway, you can get a single controller on Amazon for $26.
If you still want HD (up to 1080i), then first get a set of component cables: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Resolution-Component-Cable-Playstation-3/dp/B0013OM528/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410981734&sr=8-1&keywords=ps3+component
If your TV has component input, then just use those. If not, you can easily convert component into HDMI. I have one of these and it works great: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Component-YPbPr-Converter-Adapter/dp/B00BNHSQPK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1410981788&sr=8-4&keywords=component+to+hdmi
Well, Newegg has em for $40 and the last time I checked, Best buy had a bundle of GoW/Uncharted 1+2 with a controller.
Edit: Just got an e-mail from Amazon so here's some third-party controller deals.
Splitfish Dual SFX Evolution Wireless Controller for just $23. I own one and it works pretty good, no dead zones but the button layouts feels awkward. Rapidfire was fun to use, only tried it on Mass Effect 3 though. It feels like a monster when you hold it btw. Here's the video review of it.
HKS Racing Controller for $36.09. This is strictly for racing games and I've never really tried it. HKS Racing Controller Review.
PS3 Eagle Eye Mouse and Keyboard Converter which is $49.88. I know you don't want to shell out too much money but if you want to play the PS3 with a keyboard + mouse, then here ya go. You can also check out the Tactical Assault Commander 3 but I wouldn't recommend it. Eagle Eye PS3 Review. Btw, if you do get the Eagle Eye, expect playing it like this. A better demonstration of Eagle Eye.
Play n Type Wireless Controller with Keypad for $38.03. I seriously don't like this controller, it looks terrible. Just get the official wireless keypad. It's like, what, $21 on Amazon? Here's the review of it, no such video demonstrating the actual typing though.
You can also check the third party controllers in Gamestop or Bestbuy like afterglow but I totally wouldn't recommend it. Like seriously. Shit's so bright even in daylight.
I have this and it's glorious. Not exactly cheap, but no cables to worry about, the controller port doesn't get damaged over time, and you don't have to walk over to the TV.
Move controllers (Individual) $33X2
[Camera] (https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-4-Camera-Old-Model/dp/B00BGAA3S2/ref=sr_1_4?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1497990121&sr=1-4&keywords=ps4+camera) $42
Total = $108, you might be able to find deals somewhere if you look around.
I'd imagine maybe a driving game. Steering on the left, gas and brake on the right?
Edit: https://www.amazon.com/HKS-Racing-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B003UF9BK2
Start with RocketSurgeon's suggestion about starting high and dialing it back until it feels comfortable.
Turn on aim assist if it's not on.
I use these things: FPS Freek by KontrolFreek
They were tough to get used to and I only use it on the right stick but they seem to help.
You're new to Xbox, it's going to take time to adjust from your point-n-click accuracy to a brand new device in your hand. Mess around with your sensitivity and find whats comfortable for you. From there just keep playing n playing. I think after that you could graduate to FPS Freeks
Practice practice my friend...
I loved that stick, I have a PS3 controller with one just like it, but it's a d-pad.
It's not a replacement for an analog stick, tho, not even close.
Those are composite. Component are these bad boys - http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Resolution-Component-Cable-Playstation-3/dp/B0013OM528/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-1&keywords=ps2+component+cable
They make the picture about 10x better.
The deadzone is horrible on that model. I bought one about a year ago for the exact reason that I like the 360 controller more. There's a newer one that is blue that they fixed the deadzone and it's the perfect replacement for the 360 controller on the PS3.
Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Pro-Elite-Wireless-Playstation-3/dp/B005761BGO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1370644627&sr=8-5&keywords=power+a+ps3
Yeah, the one in Chinatown is probably the one I'm thinking about. I'm a SF maniac.. I have a HORI fighting stick and modded it with Sanwa buttons. Love it.
http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Real-Arcade-Fighting-Stick-3/dp/B001GDQRZM
This is a PS3 arcade stick but since it uses USB you can plug it into your computer to use as well. Exceptional quality as well.
I see this all the time and want to get you one, but $40 is just out of my budget. I keep looking through Amazon for something good, but cheaper - but alas, the price to pay for any good controller these days just seems to be $40+. I keep looking at the PS3 Versus Controller, but it doesn't have reassuring reviews...
I'd be willing to pay up to $25 if you find something worth it.
$28 each on Amazon in bulk packaging
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Move-Motion-Controller-Packaging/dp/B0072HYRNK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499744097&sr=8-2&keywords=PS+move
EDIT: Appears these don't include the mini USB cable (standard charging cable from PS3 era).
You can also get them for $30 each at Gamestop.
EDIT 2: Certified Refurbs are $30, still no cable, but comes with a 90 day warranty. Might be worth it.

> $399 doesn't get you the required camera or controllers. Actual price is $599.
The camera is $44. Here's the controller for $25. You probably want two of them.
$399+44+25+25 = $493.
Also, rift doesn't ship with motion controllers either.
Doom and gloom? The older the battery the less of a charge it holds. That is fact in 99% of consumer grade rechargeable batteries. I never said I was an expert, this is general knowledge everyone learns from the decades of using devices with rechargeable batteries in them in the past. My comment was that buying used has potential for a person paying even more money when they inevitably have to replace the battery inside sooner rather than later all to save $5 maybe $10. Right now you can buy a new Move from Amazon for $25.
If the battery is bad they will replace the unit with no charge to you.
Is this the kind of case you're looking for? That are thicker than normal Blu Ray cases?

The MadCatz Fight Stick Pro goes for $100, is moddable, works on PS3 and PC, and even has a few perks (Start/Select buttons on the back, controller blocker to avoid unwanted pauses in tournaments, and a compartment for storing the cable). Definitely a good starting point for most fighters. If you want something even cheaper, I've been playing with a Hori Fighting Stick Mini 3 that goes for about $50. Being "mini", it's smaller than the average, however be warned that it's not easily moddable, and that it weighs rather little so it may slip with intense gameplay.
What I could find.

Sony brand PS2 controller + PS2 to USB converter = best PS3 controller for cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/PS2-Playstation-Controller-Adapter-Converter-3/dp/B000PS1TG6/
When the PS3 is on and the controller is plugged in, press the Analog button to "sync" the controller. The Analog button acts as the Home button. Press once for the XMB and twice for the controller options.
Want Xbox a styled controller? Look in-store Walmarts for Power A controller. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pro-EX-POWER-A-PS3-Wired-Controller-Black-PS3-PS3/14962336
Another Xbox style: PDP Afterglow
http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AP-1-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003IU01LC/
Third party controllers are known to have more dead zone in the analog sticks. So I'd go the PS2 controller route if you need that precision.
What I am thinking is if its an older TV and you have tried all the L/R RCA connections, the TV might not be able to convert the digital signal into an analog audio out.
Next step would be to run audio outs from the PS3 to the amp. I haven't tried this in a while but you might be able to use the PS3 analog cords along with the HDMI. Multi AV out just has to be set on in the PS3 systems settings. If that's doesn't work you would need an optical cord to a digital to analog converter.
There are some on amazon. Though I don't believe them to be officially licensed products.
Afterglow controllers are pretty good. Around 25 normally, and on sale through Amazon right now.

There is a PowerA PS3 controller that has the layout of the XBOX360. Can't comment on the feel and control but there are wired and wireless variants. The wired one is really cheap on Amazon too.
https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Controller-PlayStation-3-BLACK/dp/B01LB4KGU2/
Have you tried straight up plugging it in without running the 360 emulator? I have the HRAP original (non-V3, looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Real-Arcade-Fighting-Stick-3/dp/B001GDQRZM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1394911973&sr=8-3&keywords=ps3+hrap).
And it works as long as I plug in the stick into USB port before I start up the game. Then I just go into controller settings and switch from kb 1 to kb 2 to stick.
I got these and they make the controller much more comfortable.

I'm not entirely sure, but if you use the Remote Play option with a PSP the system goes into some sort of sleep mode that might allow you to charge your controllers.
That being said, it's worth it to pick this up. It's fantastic and like all Sony hardware very well built. http://www.amazon.com/PS3-DualShock-3-Charging-Station-Playstation/dp/B004T7IRS2/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1312403018&sr=8-10
For charging controllers, I just purchased one of these. I look snazzy and holds the controllers as well instead of having them flopping all over my entertainment center.
My only concern now is can I leave one on the charger plugged in even after it's fully charged without causing harm to the battery. :DActually just answered my own question by reading one of the reviews where they state that the current shuts off when the charge is complete. Yay! :D> adding an FPSfreak stick to your right analogue
I'd like to second this, though I swear I got mine cheaper than this (also from Amazon). As far as sensitivity goes, I'm at what you're calling a 5, but I had to incrementally bump it up over several sessions. I didn't find it easy to just jump to 5 (though I did try... I just sucked).
Even if it has a solid build, the price of that thing leaves me dumbfounded, when I've seen other things such as qanba fightsticks which is slightly priced lower, with the pc/ps3 black clip on version sitting at $70, which is the highest I'd probably go. I havent heard of anyone using a fightstick for MK, usually they use it for Street Fighter, King of Fighters, etc etc. I'm getting a white PS3 controller (first dualshock since PS2 days), hopefully I won't be a pad warrior for long lol.
EDIT:
Cheaper Blue Hori Mini
EDIT 2:
God damn this fightstick is sexy, bookmarked
I have a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3. It works on my PS3, PC, and Mac. The buttons aren't great and start to get sluggish after a few months, but the stick part is top quality and the entire thing is easily moddable (no solders required, all you need is a phillip's head and a bolt remover); I ended up buying some Sanwa buttons to install a few months after I bought it for about 20 bucks. They are smooth as hell and I haven't had to do any additional work on it for the over a year that I've had it.
Here's what it looks like now.
You had literal millions of words in the English language to pick from and you chose a name shared in the FGC hobbyist space. Come on dude.
Also, Fightpad is literally the name of Mad Catz's controller with a d-pad designed for fighting games. Is this willful name-stealing, or are you just making all this shit up as you go?
HKS Racing Controller - Playstation 3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UF9BK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CyWWAbM129J0N
I bought this one on amazon. It looks amazing (something i wouldn't mind sitting out all the time) and functions extremely well, plus you free up usb ports on your ps4 by having it, otherwise you are either unplugging your vr to charge them on a OG ps4 or you are taking up every single port on your PS4 pro.
If you want a stand that charges both move and controllers this is the one talked about most on here, I would definitely get that, especially for the price. If i had the room (my shelf is to small for it) and no kids to destroy my headset this is what i would have bought.
If all else fails you can buy a PDP branded third party controller. To which 2 were made by them. Afterglow, and rock candy. They'll be the closest thing you'll get to a Dualshock 3 on PS3. That and they are quite reliable compared to the cheap knock-off Dualshock 3 controllers commonly found all over the place nowadays. Only downside is they are for the most part obtainable online since they were part of the PS3 era, and for the most part mainly PS3 games can be found.
The few chances of a genuine Dualshock 3 used in a store are rare, along with any official third party controllers like the ones I noted. Anyways I've linked both below.
Rock Candy wired https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Candy-PS3-Controller-PlayStation-3/dp/B008U2XEBM?th=1

I completely forgot that they made generic versions. The ps3 one is the cheapest at $16ish, the 360 version will run you closer to $30.
Sweet that you picked the game up. Here's a link to the discord to find matches/learn things : https://discord.gg/6qR2CQy
Are you trying to get it to work on your ASUS or a different monitor now?
If a different one see the hard answer.
Easy Answer:
Plug it into your ASUS and hold the power button down on the PS3 while powering up until it beeps for a second time(While the monitor is on of course). If you get flickering and no screen then it is time to fix the ASUS or get a new monitor.
Hard Answer 1; New Monitor:
HDMI to DVI conversion cable. Make sure your monitor is HDCP compatible otherwise it may not work. Also get yourself a composite cable for your PS3 as well because most monitors do not output sound through DVI.
That is if you get a monitor with no HDMI input, otherwise just do the same thing you did with your ASUS and the Easy Answer.
Hard Answer 2; Fix the ASUS:
99% of the time when a monitor fails like you say, it is because of blown capacitors. That other 1% is factory defects and user stupidity. But from what you describe it sounds like one or a few of the secondary smoothing capacitors have failed.
If you feel comfortable about it you can take the back off the monitor and check the power supply unit for any inflated capacitors. They look like this when blown(the green ones in the pictures).
I used that guide for that exact monitor so I would suggest that you look up your model and seeing if there have been the same issues with other people.
Or just take it to a repair shop.
I hope this helps in any way.

There are other brands but here is a headstart.
Nice set up! You can also add the official sound bar and the absolutely terribly designed official controller charging station.*
​
*Can fail in three ways: lose/break the charging clips, lose the adapter cable, lose the power cable. What was Sony thinking?
I have a Turlte Beach Earforce P11 I use, tho for it to work on both you need an adapter. They make one called the DAC1 ( digital to analog converter ). I have big ears and I can use them for about an hour before I have to take a rest from them.
Though the link I provided for the P11 doesn't offer any new, the adapter is designed to work with various models of headsets. Not the best option maybe, but it will work for both consoles.
Last week I caved and got a DFGT. For 30€ I build a table for it out of 4 table legs and a 18"x6" shelf.
I used to play GT and GT2 with an Ultra Racer, I've always wondered why there aren't more controllers based on those pistol-grip RC car transmitters like this one.
This thing probably somes closest to what you're looking for.
I have this one for a few years now and it still works great:

It’s the Power A wired Controller for PS3. Here is the Amazon Link
The PowerA Mini Pro Elite was a cool one for me, the camera joystick started to flip out on me a few weeks back but, it is still my favorite.
best bet is to go with motionjoy and a bluetooth receiver.

i'm going to buy [The AfterGlow] (http://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AP-1-Controller-PS3-Playstation-3/dp/B003IU01LC) in a month or so. To be honest the Pro Elite Controller is almost twice as more expensive as the after glow and there are bad reviews about it. But if price is not an issue then definitely buy [The MadCatz MLG PS3 Controller] (http://www.amazon.com/Offically-Licensed-Circuit-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B0063BCQ20). The best thing about it is that you can switch the dpad and analog in any format that you want. Here's a [video] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF_XKj4gzJk) describing what i just said.

Serious question: does it work on Windows?
I bought an arcade stick for my ps3 which works flawlessly on my PC, but it is not an tournament edition stick.
You might want to consider getting a controller with vents and a fan built in. I don't have a ps3 so I don't know which are good but here's one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005764CWO/
Just in case you were ever interested, buying this charging station was the best thing ever. When I'm done playing, I just set the controller back on the charger and when I'm ready to play I have a fully charged controller. I highly, highly recommend this charger, but 40 bucks is kind of deep. It was on sale for 25 at Christmas and I'd recommend buying it at that price.
In the future, when you get better speakers, you can use a A/V receiver with HDMI.
You don't need a DAC, the PS3 has a DAC inside it, which is why you can have RCA outputs.
For now, with these speakers, just use one of these: http://amzn.com/B003U7WCEM Connect that to the RCA/3.5 adapter, to the speakers.
I'm 90% sure the subwoofer in this setup includes a crossover, so if you just plug in the front speakers, it should automatically send the bass to the subwoofer.
If it doesn't, then you'd need to add your own passive crossover, which isn't feasible. If the RCA outputs don't work for you, I'd start looking at the side bar to the right for some cheap 2.1 systems you could put together. (All of which would be significantly better than this Creative system.)
The original Sony PS3 dualshock charger:

well you got a few options. You could buy ps3 cases or buy universal game cases or you could find some old ps2 cases (whatever seems the best option for you). and then you can go to the http://www.thecoverproject.net/ and they will have all the covers to your games for you to print out (or get them professionally printed. I haven't done any of these yet, but I'm definitely going to and personally I think ps3 cases look really nice, but you gotta a bunch of options
Mkay. I, against a few peoples opinions, ordered this stick simply because it was one of the cheapest ones I found. Since I ordered it just prior to the weekend it hasnt fully processed yet. Do you think that, for someone who has an interest in learning/getting better that it would be worth it to instead get the Arcade Fightstick Pro from MadCatz? I just wasnt too sure initially if I wanted to shell out that much for the pad, but now I feel like I might want to if the one Ive ordered wont be as effective.
I charge mine using the Energizer Power and Play.
I've bought a few third party controllers in my time, and I've found that I actually prefer the Afterglow AP.1 to Sony's first party controllers. I've never really liked the positioning of the analog sticks on the first-party PlayStation controllers; the AP.1 gives it more of an Xbox 360 feel with the positioning of the sticks.
That being said, with the AP.1 you don't get Bluetooth connectivity, Sixaxis support, and the wireless can be a little touchy sometimes. I'll take it for half the price of a Sony controller, though. There's a lot of crap out there when it comes to third-party controllers, but I've never been disappointed by Afterglow.
For wired i'd go with
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Amplified-Stereo-Headset-Playstation-3/dp/B00E5UHSXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1395154095&sr=1-1&keywords=turtle+beach+ps3
Great sound with independent game/voice volume controls(Which I hate that the Sony Wireless lacks.)
Turtle Beach P11
Good sound and mic quality.
I use them both for PC and PS3, if you have an xbox you could get ones that work with both xbox and pc.
This is the best deal I could find.

I was thinking of getting that blue PS3 joystick how is it?
For those features just go with XB360 or ps3 stick then. [Here's a wireless mini PS3 controller.] (http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Pro-Elite-Wireless-Playstation-3/dp/B005761BGO/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1398054903&sr=1-1&keywords=mini+ps3+controller)

If you've been primarily gaming on the 360 up until now, it can take a little bit to get used to the PS3 controller. I also had the same issue. The fatigue issues go away pretty quick though.
As someone who also primarily played 360 before I got my ps3, I would highly recommend you get trigger extensions asap. They make the controller much more comfortable.
While linking accessories, I would also recommend a magnetized controller charge pad. I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to just lay the controller down and have it auto charged. No need to remember to plug it in, or even use a usb port.
It may sound strange that I am recommending a charging pad in response to your post. However, there is a reason! The magnetic charging pad attachment adds a little extra weight to the PS3 controller. Everyone that comes by to play games always comments how much nicer my controllers feel between the slightly heavier feel and added triggers.
What you lack in precise aiming is made up for with other things being easier. Strafing always seemed better to me because you are not limited to 4 directions, but can use all 360 degrees. Also you can play a hell of a lot longer without getting hand cramps. Also you can play while on your back on any position you want. This is coming from someone who prefers PC, but is honest about how capable consoles are at FPSs. Besides moving all other movements like jumping and crouching and toggling are a bit quicker on controllers. Also this product exists to help with precise aiming. They extend the length of the analog sticks allowing for more precise movement. http://www.amazon.com/FPS-Freek-KontrolFreek-Classic-Pc/dp/B002R2JCNK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1323722541&sr=8-2

I got one of these for like $10 clearenced at Target ...

Similar thing excpet "mini", and wireless.
Plug and play with PC, just plug in the USB dongle, hit home button and about 15 seconds it's good to go. Rechargable and gets a good amount of time on battery, and it's obvs. clearenced on Amazon. I've had it for a year and a half now and it still works great. Highly recommend this, or any controller by Power A.
I use the turtle beach p11's and I haven't had a problem with them in the three years I have had them.
You can get them here
Quick question, are these the same headset? Trying to find a cheaper price :)
There's also these but they seem to be different than the ones you linked.
Will this still work then?
https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Energizer-Power-Charging-System-3/dp/B00439DIZ8
Cool, I'll look into that first before I make a decision. As an alternative, would this Hori stick be a good option as opposed to a pad or controller?
I grabbed one of these and have been very pleased. Not very expensive and looks slick as snot next to my entertainment center.
If you're open to wired, the Power A Wired Controller is great for under $20. Offset thumbsticks and concave L2 /R2 triggers.
I don't that would work because I use charging station
>After some research, i found out the ps3 only has a optical/digital output.
You research was wrong.
I have a PDP Versus Controller that I use for my Retropie. It's very clicky, and has a nice layout for Genesis, 32X and SegaCD games too.
Well, here's what I know of:
I think I'm leaning toward the Thrustmaster; some of the reviews indicate (relatively) fragile build quality, but wireless would be convenient for me and for a mere $43 the thumb-wheel seems worth a try.
I can't comment on how good or bad it is, but I'd get it on amazon since its the same price with cheaper or free shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Versus-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B0051MQK6K
It has some pretty bad reviews, though.
Here's a video review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGBGxBa783A
Have you considered an arcade stick? http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Fighting-Stick-V3-Playstation-3/dp/B0057WDBHA/ref=dp_cp_ob_vg_title_0
It's a lot more expensive but they really are nice.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Motion-Controller-Packaging-3/dp/B0072HYRNK - These are the first one I looked at, they're basically new (only used once or twice), but the fact they came in plastic bags put me off.

Reviews look okish but, idk people complain about it too but, then again i've never seen a 3rd party controller that people say is as good or superior all around maybe people are just picky?
Does sony even make new dualshock 3 controllers
You can get a emulator front end for pc which works great it's also much easier to play mame aka arcade games on pc vs retro pie and obviously youu have more storage, like someone said above stay away from the packages of controllers, first those things should be 5 bucks a piece, not 80 for 3. Plus you don't want nes controller if you're emulating because you have access to so many consoles and with different controller layouts it's best to get one to suit your needs perfect. If you want to go cheap I'd honestly suggest this controller you can find it cheaper usually around 10 bucks PS3 Versus Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051MQK6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XgOCzb45T1KKH
I use it as my player two but honestly you'd be better off getting a couple of those. But since you're willing to spend 80 on garbage might as well spend it on something quality? I'd get one of the above controllers, and do what I did and get the best of the best for yourself Imo this is the best
HORI Fighting Commander 4 Controller for PlayStation 4/3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tjOCzb8PD2QKE
Both work on retropie as well and I use them to emulate on my pc and retropie and I couldn't be happier.
I have Spider-Man ps4 deluxe edition with unused dlc code. I could do $60/shipped. The Game case has a chip on the outside but the game disc and artwork are perfect.

I was a teenager in the late 80's, which is for me the golden era of arcade.
Just a non exhaustive list of arcade games that I played the shit out of: Rygar, Bubble Bobble, Xain'd Sleena, Double Dragon, Wonderboy, Gauntlet, Gunsmoke, Choplifter, Rampage, Golden Axe, Empire City, etc.
And these games were not only about playing them, it was also about watching other people playing them and talking about them.
Then in the 90's, arcade just became mostly about Fighting and Driving games, and I was not into these: getting older, not good at them, and them being more and more expensive to play.
And finally came out console and PC gaming which marked the end of arcade games.
I definitely miss these days, and I am sure this is a concept which can not stand nowadays except for nostalgia for people like me, and maybe for driving games which can be more seen as some sort of driving simulators that you cannot have at home.
But personally, I can sort of revive these days especially thanks to emulators and stuff like this. And I still have a lot of fun. These games definitely don't get old.

This says it is 12', but even if you sit 10' from your tv, i don't think only having 2' of slack will be comfortable or doable. If you are that far you will probably need a wireless. My friend has the px5 from TurtleBeach and he swears by them. He said he spent $150 for refurbished a year or so ago, but will still probably run you $100-$150 for refurbished. Good thing about those is it is both xbox and ps3, digital sound and dual channel bluetooth voice (for game or answering your phone).

are you familiar with "the RCA cable that comes with PS3"? it looks like this.
There is a port on the back of the PS3 that accepts this cable, and it's not the same port that accepts the HDMI cable. you can plug them both in at the same time.
Here's a tip from your friendly intermediate wants-to-start-playing-in-tournaments-by-next-year Fighting game player: An Arcade stick won't necessarily make you better, and it isn't necessarily the better option. A lot of people when first entering the Fighting Game community, me included at first, see the pros all playing with arcade sticks and see them dominating in tournaments. Naturally, a lot of people assume that's the way to go and to just ignore controller. However, look at it this way:
The people that dominate in tournaments grew up playing in arcades. They prefer that layout, and thus they use arcade sticks.
It's all a matter of preference. The only thing that an arcade stick will make you better at is "plinking" which is a technique used only in SF4 and SFxTK, and even then it isn't important.
If you think you can learn better on controller, go for it. If you're like me and think an arcade stick is more comfortable, I highly recommend getting either the Hori Fighting Stick Mini 3 or getting a Qanba Q1 (If they ever get restocked)
Both sticks are cheaper than average yet still of good quality. If you're willing to spend that tiny bit more, you could get a Hori fighting Stick V3 for high quality and reliability. A little more from that and you can get MadCatz sticks, which are really good too.
Or, you can take a third option and try out a PDP Fightpad Which, while looking weird, actually work quite well and I have a friend who uses them as his main method of control.
Explore your options! Arcade stick may not be for you, try around and see what you're comfortable with. Just don't be like me and buy a cheap arcade stick... I bought a "Mayflash" stick and it works fine and does the job well, but it's reliability is known to be poor (Mine's lasted longer than two years, which apparently is a miracle) and overall just feel cheap (Which can be kinda annoying/distracting, but you may be able to get over it better than I can)
Hope I helped!
what about something like this or this

Component cables. The PS3 component cables work on PS2 as well, and are relatively cheap, I got them for $8
I dare to disagree, you can get 2 PS Move controllers in the US for $25 each http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Motion-Controller-Packaging-3/dp/B0072HYRNK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1454083999&sr=8-5&keywords=ps+move

Bringing the total to $100.
Now, hobbyist 9 DOF IMU sets are cheap http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MPU-9250-SPI-IIC-9-Axis-Attitude-Module-With-Gyro-Accelerator-Magnetometer/1916144202.html . The ones in the Touch might be higher quality, but I don't expect in bulk and integrated into a PCB they would be much more expensive. Of course, you have all the other pieces surrounding that chip that I already mentioned and the LEDs in Constellation are "smart", i.e. they have a blinking patterns, etc.
I understand the low-volume argument, etc., but my point is, anything beyond EUR 150 is really pushing it. Of course, to buy or not is everyone's decision, the point is, would that be good for VR overall.
If only they made a DS4 version of this!
These are pretty awesome, if you plan on playing some FPSs.

I don't have one personally so I can't tell you how it is but it seems pretty cool.
I have This one, charges both at once, I bought it used from Gamestop for $12 I think.
Late to the party, but this seems like the optimal solution.
It's a fighting controller for PlayStation.
Has all the shoulder buttons, six face buttons you can map to A B CCC&C, a single dpad and a single analog stick.
Plus it has the touch pad.
Only downside is the cost, otherwise I'd pick one up myself. (I still might, I do have a decent amount of PS3/4 fighters and it would be solid for sega games too)

If you have a 360 or PS3 controller lying around give it a try with your example keys there.
If you're looking to invest, see if you can find a PC pad or a fightpad (example: http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Versus-Controller-Playstation-3/dp/B0051MQK6K/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1376331889&sr=1-1&keywords=fight+stick ) with 6 face buttons.
This is a dirt cheap stick, but it should be moddable if you want to upgrade buttons or the joystick in your future. http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Arcade-Fighting-Joystick-Playstation-3/dp/B0015PHMFU/ref=sr_1_11?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1376331889&sr=1-11&keywords=fight+stick
I am a keyboard user so you should still do research before making a decision!
My HDMI went out a few months ago and I don't know how to replace it so I went online and bought some [HD A/V cables] (http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Resolution-Component-Cable-Playstation-3/dp/B0013OM528/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381329810&sr=8-1&keywords=ps3+hd+av+cables) on Amazon.They look great and I haven't noticed a huge difference.

FYI that pad is HORRIBLE IMO. I switched to that after my older one broke and couldn't stand it. I went back to a standard ps3 controller for a while since I hated that thing so much. I've got a Hori V3 SA Kai now and will never go back to a pad, but I don't think switching actually helped me play better. If you are alright with a pad, then stick with it.
You could get 720p or 1080i with this

I use this one, i got it on sale for $20, Here is a used one. But a quick search showed this
this
Yea, lots of options. Also If your battery ever does die buy this It has i believe double the capacity of the stock battery. Very easy to replace just look up a tutorial on youtube.
Should I go ahead and buy this one?
Interesting, though not well reviewed it does look like one was made for the PS3:
http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Pro-Elite-Wireless-Playstation-3/dp/B005761BGO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
and know that smaller Wiimotes were made for the Wii, hopefully there will be something higher quality available for you in the future.
I've looked into reviews a bit and it's middling honestly. Everybody's experience is different but I wouldn't personally buy it based on what people say. Brook is great for their circuit boards and converters but this controller was a one off project.
Other options for the record as far as having satellite dish dpads are the Madcatz fight pads and the Xbox One Elite controller. https://www.amazon.com/New-Improved-D-Pad-PlayStation4-PlayStation3-PlayStation/dp/B01HT2TSSQ
I don't have personal experience with any of it but there ya go~
Wired: TurtleBeach Ear Force P11 (LINK)
Wireless: Sony Wireless Stereo Headset PS3 (LINK)
Both work great, and also plug into my Mac. Both have separate game/chat volume controls, and options to mute the mic. The Sony is more comfortable to wear all around; softer ear cushions, and a wide, soft head band.

Actually, now that I look at them, these are not being sold by Sony, but by 3rd party vendors. I have never ordered these, so YMMV, but based on the reviews, they seem to be legit.
I bout the PS3 ones from a local gamestop for $25 each. They work fine with the PSVR and the battery life is still great on them. I do recommend a charging dock for them though. I got this one and it works great for them.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005764CWO
The DualShock 4 works with the PS3 but it's super wonky. For instance, the PS button has zero functionality. You can't just hit it and choose "Quit Game" to go back to the menu. Also, you have to play wired. The DS4 does not wirelessly communicate with the PS3. If your primary issue with the DS3 is that it's a bit small I'd suggest picking up the officially licensed controller from PowerA. It's still wired only but every button functions correctly and it's only like $20.
Edit: This is the controller I'm talking about. I forgot it's sticks are even offset like a 360 controller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LB4KGU2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510852176&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=powera+ps3+controller
I don't see this listed in the comments already so I'll toss this here. I picked one up to play the few games I own the ps3 for due to the swapped analog sticks. I also have the 360 version that I use as my PC controller. They aren't wireless, and the ps3 version still has the general shape and feel of a ps3 controller, but if what you want most from the xbox controller is the reversed sticks, then I definitely recommend it.
EDIT: changed link to amazon as it's half price there. Also I should mention that it comes in 2 other colors and the light can be turned off.
looks like I can still use these, so I'm happy

PS3 branded ones are fine. No difference at all.
I got this last week. Would serve you fine.
I bought one of these for my 360 at a non-ridiculous price. When I get a PS3, I'll get one for it.
Convenient as all get-out.
How does it compare to this Hori
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001GDQRZM
Would you be buying it for the ps3 or which console?
Because I would personally recommend the hori real arcade stick
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GDQRZM
its on a deal right now for $99 plus free shipping, real top of the line stick
>Or even better, a smaller version of a normal PS3 controller (layout wise) specifically for smaller hands.
I couldn't find a smaller DS3-type of controller, but I did find a small Xbox 360-style controller (for PS3) :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005761BGO#va-lightbox-popover_1493324758715
Around 30% smaller than the DS3
I'm gonna go a little bit against the other responses here, and say that I had a good experience with my $40 stick. I got a Hori Fighting Stick Mini 3 when they were $40 about a year and a half ago. I wasn't sure if I would like fighting games, and I didn't want to drop $150 on a stick if I wasn't going to stick with it. The $40 was worth it to have try a stick, knowing if I liked it I would probably upgrade.
The stick is definitely not the same quality or feel as something with Sanwa or Seimitsu parts. That being said, I completely disagree with anyone saying that a pad feels better than a cheap stick. This is personal taste, but just having the layout of a stick felt better than a pad for me. The small form factor was a plus for me, especially the thinness, because I play both PS3 and PC fighters at my desk. It's small enough to leave at the desk without taking up much room. I'm also pretty easy on my stick and don't slam it around like I see some people do when I play.
If you can afford a nicer entry stick, and think you'll like fighters, then definitely go for a better stick. For people who really can't afford spending $100 though, you may be perfectly happy with a cheap stick. I use Sanwa modded sticks and my cheap Hori, nothing in between, so I can't comment on the quality of in between sticks. I do like mine enough where I've had Sanwa parts sitting around for a few months and haven't finished making the custom case I have planned for them.
Last gen woulda had you covered son. Maybe it's just a matter of time?
...and set your PS3 for multi audio out. This is what i do minus the 3.5 mm conversion (go rca direct to amp).
Edit: $5 cable on amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013OM528/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1373253607&sr=8-5&pi=SL75)
I've been using the SC-1 for a while now, and it's actually pretty good. It SIXAXIS, so just know about that, and since it's got the 360 layout make sure that if your game uses the triggers a lot that you can rebind L1 and R1 to L2 and R2.
I'm also curious to know about good 3rd party controller. I'd prefer something wireless but this one seems pretty awesome.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LB4KGU2/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1527140886&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=ps3+controller&dpPl=1&dpID=41bRhkKRXfL&ref=plSrch
The PS3 doesn't have a minijack that will work with that cable. You need one of the analog-to-RCA cables that carries the audio -- like the one /u/e60deluxe posted above or this: http://amzn.com/B003U7WCEM
that has the rectangular connector that will plug into the AV Multi port.
The PS3 should have come with that cable if you got the full package; any used game store probably also has that or a similar cable for cheap, too.
You can use these. I only use one on my right stick since I don't need the finer control on the left stick but they still keep your fingers in.
oh man let me show you something that will be your best friend for the controller. Just get them. http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Triggers-Playstation-3-PS3--Black/dp/B003S6RI2G/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319567610&sr=8-1-fkmr0 comign fom the 360 it's great. Well just do regular cleaning on it it will be fine. I mean get some compressed air and blow it out a couple times. And if you have a marathon gaming session be sure to turn your system off for a bit and let it rest. I think if you've played for like 4 hours let it rest for like 45 minutes.
They're $25 on Amazon, and they're not required. And the camera is only $50 on Amazon and can be bought cheaper.
EDIT: Downvoted for a factual post? Here are the links.
Camera, currently $49.77 - http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-4-Camera/dp/B00BGAA3S2
Controller, currently &25.99 - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Motion-Controller-Packaging-3/dp/B0072HYRNK/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1459219194&sr=1-1&keywords=move+controller
I high suggest you look at either this fight pad by HORI or this MadCatz one not many people think about getting a pad but its a say cheaper alternative than buying a stick and a WAAAAYY better DPAD than yourre used to i bought the Mad Catz one and it was the best decision i have made. espcially if youre looking for something wto help with your inputs these definetly do the trick as an aleternative to the controller and as a form of a "good cheap" fight stick. i know you said you were looking for a stick but these a great other options that most people arent aware of . and if you are aware of them and you say frick that get this fight stick.
I would very much avoid going for cheap ones on ebay. They are incredibly dodgy and are pretty much going to break after a week of use, plus you might be waiting a month for them to come in the post as most of them are from china. I bought this one as a replacement to my sony one that got lost when I was moving house and I love it!

A quality headset such as Turtle Beach
If you're interested in Sony triggers, these work great.
The Xbox triggers are copied from the Dreamcast controller by the way. Yes, the guide button is Microsoft's claim to fame; I knew they came up with something on their own.
I strongly suggest These Kontrol Freek Adaptors They trully add accuracy and it allows you to use the tip of your thumb.
I am not exaggerating, My kd in mw3 was 3.4 and 3.1 in BO2, definitely worth the $12
