The Bottom Line	While it costs a bit more than it should, the DualShock 3 adds the rumble support that should've been present in the PS3 from the beginning.	The Nyko Zero Wireless controller makes for a decent secondary or back-up controller, but doesn't fully match the comfort and performance of the DualShock 3.			The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller may be the most expensive first-party controller ever, but it's easily the best, too.
