What's the battery life like on the new DualShock3 controllers when rumble is on? I want to get one for GT5

I think it's about 15 hours.

I've just ordered GT5 Prologue and a DualShock 3 can't wait for them to get here.

Anyone already used the DualShock 3?

I got GT5 Prologue and a DualShock 3 today.... I've been using the DualShock 3 all day, and it still doesn't need charging. GT5 is awesome awesome awesome!

I'm going back to play it now >>>

Bastard!

I've ordered GT5! It should be here in the next week or so. I guess I'd better take a week off work and lock myself inside

You might wanna make that a month off work

I've been using a DualShock 3 for a few weeks now, and can confirm that the battery lasts a LONG TIME. I'd say at least 12 hours, I don't notice it going flat any quicker than the normal PS3 controller. Maybe they've put a larger capacity battery in the DualShock 3.

I got a little bit of beer in the round buttons on my DualShock 3 (oops!), and now they're kinda mushy. Anyone know a safe way to clean them? I was thinking of just getting some mild detergent and warm water and putting JUST A FEW DROPS on my fingers and mashing the buttons. Dumb idea?

Yeah I've got a DualShock3 now too Battery life is about the same as the normal controller, certainly isn't anything to worry about anyway. Is it just my imagination, or has the DualShock3 got nowhere near the same amount of rumble as the old PS2 controller?

@ BigChips: don't go getting anymore liquid in there, it might make it worse. Why don't you just carefully take it apart and clean around the buttons?

I played GT5P in like march i think cause i went over to friends house and its a awesome sauce game so plyed it alot before i got GTA4 which is a very nice game.

I just got a Very,Very,Very cool Satin Silver Daulshock 3 controller.I have to say,that the best looking controller i got. I love playing COD4 and i was playing with my new Daulshock 3 controller and its very hard to control the analog sticks cause i put pressure down(a very little amount) on it,and its alittle too sensitive.I kept slashing with the knife because i tryed to shoot someone and i turned too Quickly and slash hen im dead xP
