PlayStation 4 Controller Now Works Wirelessly With PlayStation 3

I'll keep using my only Dual Shock 3 and hope it won't break but it's reassuring to know I can use my Dual Shock 4 with it in case the former breaks.

I still hate the placement of the start and select buttons. They should've ditched the damn touch pad, too. And the triggers STILL aren't right.

Oh my god, yes!!!!! finally I can use my DS4 with PS3. I didn't want to buy a PS3 controller again, like what for if its at the end of its lifespan.

Handy if you need another controller for multiplayer i suppose but don't particularly feel like forking out €60/$60 for a new one.

I wonder if Microsoft will do something similar with the Xbox One controller? we shall see.

what? I had no idea this was a thing... and here I thought I was hip because I use my DS4 on pc...

As soon as they implement vibration and sixaxis, I'm pretty much going to permanently retire my PS3 controller. Well played Sony.

F*** yeah, gonna play Minecraft with Dual Shock 4!

I like your style Sony!

I just tried this. The PS4 controller works fine on the PS menu but as soon as I load up GTA V it stops working. Maybe some teething problems?

Personally I would rather see it the other way round. I know the DS3 is lacking the touchpad, but you can get away with it on most games (though this means Sony admitting the touch pad isn't essential, so fat chance of seeing that happen!).

Whilst on the subject, it would be nice to see the bluray remote to become compatible with the PS4... though realistically I doubt that'll ever happen as well

Great news now I can throw away that garbage DS3.

Nice.

Good start, but I'll be happier when I can use my perfectly good Ps3 fight stick with my Ps4.

I'm unable to get my DS4 controller to work wirelessly with my PS3. I manged to register my DS4 on my PS3 just fine, but after 3 seconds the DS4 loses connection with my PS3. Pressing the PS button on my DS4 activates the controller, but once again, I only have control for about 3 seconds before losing connection. Does anyone know why this is happening?

My PS3 controller goes haywire sometimes while playing as if the buttons are stuck from inside. Might just buy a PS4 controller & be future proof until I get the PS4 in a years time.

Does the chicken dance... The one thing I didn't totally like about ps3 was the controller, preferred the xbox one on my PC.

But I heart the PS4 controller - tight and fits like a glove. Hopefully it works with Dark Souls 2.

For some reason, I prefer Dualshock3 over 4. Maybe my hands are too small? I will be 100% ok with Dualshock3 with replaced R2/L2 triggers.

Yet it still doesn't work "wired" with the PS4 which i find baffling.

For those who don't know (because very few seem too) the DS4 is only charging with the USB cable on PS4 (yet works wired on PC and PS3) and sends no data via USB to the PS4, always wireless, laggy and i get interference all the time, in fact there's a huge thread on the Sony forum about it.

Just add USB "wired" mode to the PS4 sony, why on earth wouldn't you allow this ?

This is awesome, from the moment I grabbed my DS4 for the 1st time I felt it as a part of myself. It's so comfortable I don't want to use any other controller. Great job Sony I trust you'll continue to work for us gamers!

Hey Sony!! We don't need new controller on last-gen system. we Need last-gen system functionality on New-gen!!! we want ALL the ps3 features on the ps4. we want to customize, we want to watch videos, we want to store our own content. so stop trying to feed us some small stuff just to pretend you're doing something for us. Do something really meaningful to us!!

I don't have a PS3 anymore, and I'm still waiting on the PS4, but I don't get it. Why would you want to use the PS4 controller with limited functionality and the hassle of syncing to the system you want to use when you could just keep using the PS3 controller you already own with full functionality?

Mind blown...

I've been using this since the update, a wise move from Sony. PS3 will give that controller more use than the PS4 right now :)

eh i dont really like the ps4 controller, not fan of the touch pad it has really hate the damn lightbar too. and the analog sticks have really shitty rubber coating too , bout only thing i like is the fact i can connect my headphones to it.

I will pick ps4 one prices go down though

Thanks Sony this is awesome.

Well time to pick up the DS4. Now bring some great PS4 games so I can pick up the PS4 aswell...
