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

The Dualshock 3 is essentially the Sixaxis controller with rumble technology. There are no other visible changes, but it is noticeably heavier than the Sixaxis. My Sixaxis makes a squeaking noise if you try twisting the controller but the Dualshock 3 feel...
