The "SIXAXIS" controller offers motion sensing capabilities as well. Another version of the Playstation 3 controller, the “DUALSHOCK 3,” adds rumble along with the motion-sensing technology. These controllers come with built-in lithium ION battery that gives about 20 hours worth of play on a full charge. This also means that the controller sometimes needs to be charged.
