The six axis controller by sony is a very good device that has been used to good effect. The six axis allows you to make movements during gameplay. When you make a certain movement during gameplay the console will sense the movement and do the appropriate reaction. For people who don't want this feature you can also turn off this feature on most games for the ps3.
The six axis can be comapred to the wii remote by nintendo. The wii remote is used more in game play since it is a main feature of the wii console but the six axis is a better variation to teh wii remote due to you can turn off the motion sensor if you find it annoying during gameplay. In conclusion sony have done well to make the six axis fun to use with the motion sensor and easy to turn off and on in most games. Superb!!! ...
Advantages: Consistent, All main effects (scratch + key lock that WORKS) Disadvantages: No built in memory
I dj 2-3 times a week and often take my equipment in and out of venues so I need equipment that is durable and reliable. Ive had a pair of axis 9's for a few years now. They have turned out to be quite reliable and consistent where more expensive models weren't .. very important if you dj'ing at a gig.
If you are a laptop Dj the Axis 9's works fine with all the major software, VDJ, Rockit, Traktor etc.
There are some new features on the axis 9's along with all the standard feature on the axis series. Pitch-lock (called key-lock on numarks) is one of the most useful features I use and in my opinion axis 9's do this much better than others in a similar price range like 1200DZ or CDJ 200. They have very decent effects that are really easy to use, most notably, the scratch function which is a direct improvement from previous models like ...

Advantages: Six Axis Feature Is Good! Disadvantages: Dualshock!
The PS3 Six Axis Wireless Controller is a revolution in the gaming but is not as good as the wii remote and how it reacts to the game. I am glad that they kept the design the same but feel that it should have the range of features the wii does to make it even better.
I feel the best part is the fact that it is rechargeable and will last for about 10 hours of game play and can be charged from the PS3 system in less than an hour. It is really top quality and a great revolution in the world of gaming.
The new trigger buttons are a really great addition and the games like FIFA 2008 change the button to R2 as sprint because of the ease and control that you now have over the trigger button.
The poor feature of the controller is the dual shock which really does need to be included in the new version of the controller but the cost maybe ...
