SIXAXIS Useless When Purchased

Anyone in their right mind would think that once you buy the SIXAXIS (the PS3 wireless controller) you will be able to use it. "Ain't that cute, but it's WRONG!"

Looks like Sony doesn't give a damn about gamers who want to experience PS3 games wireless and decided not to include a USB cable with their retail SIXAXIS controller. A USB cable is required to charge the controllers' batteries so you might say that the SIXAXIS is useless on purchase.

But, the retail PlayStation 3 package includes a USB cable, so you will be able to use that to charge your SIXAXIS. But still, this is not "nice" on behalf of Sony.

The SIXAXIS is the official wireless controller for the PlayStation 3, and will cost US$ 40 being available with the Japanese launch. First, Sony designers planned out the SIXAXIS having a boomerang design, later on replacing it with a DualShock 2 wireless version.

Many games available on the PS3 launch will also have SIXAXIS support, the list including titles like Virtua Tennis 3 , Tony Hawks' Project 8 and many more.
