The fans are great, but as others have said, there is no PS button. That renders this thing useless. Also, it lacks the real triggers on the front. Overall a neat idea with the fan, but an utter lack of execution. Disappointed...
PS Button March 20, 2007

If you don't have a PS3, then the comments by the other reviewers below are probably cryptic. I own a PS3 and when someone said, "No PS button" I realized that it was off my list as a possibility but after reading through the reviews I realized that there were probably a lot of people who would not understand what this means - and were they buying a controller the same day they were buying a PS3, well, they might consider this - Logitech is a good name in keyboards and they usually get it right.
The PS button serves as an "on" button when the PS3 is off, thus allowing you to turn on the PS3 from the controller. (This works whether the controller is wired or wireless). When playing PS2 games on the PS3, you need to push the PS button to reinitialize the controller when stopping or starting the game. When playing PS2 games, you use virtual memory chips that are stored on the hard drive - you "break out" of the game to move the chips to different slots using the PS button. Some games only access the first of the two virtual slots, some access both of them but won't switch where they will save, but you can get the same function as you would with physical chips by breaking into the monitor and moving virtual chips from slot to slot while the game is running (but suspended).
When you want to stop a game, ps2 or ps3, you hold the PS button for a couple seconds and a menu comes up. This allows you to determine the state of charge of your controller if you are using it wirelessly, turn off one controller, turn on a controller (so that you can join a game) renumber controllers and so on and so forth. It also provides the only access that allows you to stop a game - which allows you to access the browser that is built in to the system, download demos and complete games and upgrades that might be available through the Sony store and so forth.
The point is that without the PS button, the controller is more or less useless - especiallly for PS2 games because they require that you press them to initialize the controller when you start the game. I'm not sure how I could use it - there may be some other way for it to get initialized.
Now, I'm currently playing "Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII". I've managed to get as far as the first battle of Midway. It is a game which can be played with or without the tilt - and when the tilt is on, there are two patterns of controls - one puts the rudder on the second stick so that it does the same thing the pedals normally do and that is the one I use.
But it would not be a good game without the tilt. I've played it both ways, and, well, tilt just wins. There are a ton of things I hate about the PS3 stock controller (the biggest of which is that the "L2" and "R2" can be hit accidentally too easily, you have no idea how many times I accidentally dropped hand grenades in Tomb Raider - Legend while picking up the controller after a break), but I won't replace it with something that does not have a PS button, and I probably won't replace it with something that does not have the sixaxis stuff. Yes, that probably means I'll be using Sony controllers forever...but Sony could license the fan from Logitech.
I expect more games to put real function on the tilt in the future. That will further make controllers like this one less than useful. Maybe there will be a version two with tilt and a PS button - I'd kinda like a bigger controller myself.
Fits hands much better.... goes dead with PS2 games January 27, 2007

I bought this controller because the Sony controllers are real small and do not fit my hands well. The Chillstream does fit much better and the fans are great.
However, as in the other reviews... the controller goes dead when trying to run PS2 games on my PS3. Also, as mentioned no PS button. I've worked around this by having the Sony controller plugged in the #2 controller spot. This works fine with PS3 games and you can
I think Logitech will update their controller soon...but this on is exactly like the PS2 Chillstream and is not worth the Greenbacks at this time.

The Logitech Chillstream controller that I bought worked on the PS3 menus but stopped working once I loaded a PS2 game. It also seemed to lack a PS button so I could exit the game back to the menu.
I returned it and got the Sony controller instead and that works beautifully on all my games, PS2 as well as PS3. Plus, the Sony controller is wireless.
