PS3 has internal bluetooth just use god damn bluetooth. Now if I want this which I really don't I have to have a crappy Dongle sticking out of my PS3.

» Eh

The underside buttons sound cool, but Mad Catz products are always crap and break in a week. The Mad Catz products that are worth a purchase are only worth it because they're much cheaper than the official products. But these are just as much as official 360/PS3 controllers. So no deal Catz
