Sony DualShock 3 - black (PS3)
Wireless PS3 controller with rumble support ; slightly heavier, which gives it a bit more heft than the featherlight Sixaxis controller ; rumble function added to many existing games via downloadable patches
Somewhat overpriced ; doesn't come with a USB cable for recharging ; rechargeable battery isn't removable
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.
While you might save a few bucks on that model--and, notably, it does include...

Includes vibration & feels more sturdy
Had to reset couple of times
Sony Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller
Good controller that keeps the best of both worlds - vibration and wireless - in the same PlayStation controller everyone knows and loves. PS2 and PS3 games with/without rumble work flawlessly. Battery life is pretty good for a controller like this. Overa...
Comfortable for extended play, responsive, vibration, motion sensing
Slightly pricey
Sony Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller
The Dualshock 3 is the second-generation PS3 wireless controller, adding force feedback to the Sixaxis controller. With the addition of the force feedback motors, the too-light feeling of the Sixaxis feels perfectly weighted now. The Dualshock 3 provides...
Force feedback, right weight, backwards compatible to PS2 rumble
Should've been included from the beginning, not supported in all PS3 games, no included USB cable
