The battery is removable and replaceable. It charges through a USB cable and can draw power directly from the console to be used while the battery is charging, and will use the wired connection instead of Bluetooth when connected. It is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery that can provide up to 30 hours of gameplay on a full charge. It also connects wirelessly to the PS3 through Bluetooth. The controller is noticeably heavier than the Sixaxis. It retains the motion sensing abilities of the Sixaxis while bringing the rumble of the DualShock line. In 2008, Sony announced that it was officially discontinuing the Sixaxis controller and bundling the DualShock 3 with all new PlayStation 3 (PS3) consoles instead. Others speculated that it might have more to do with Immersion Corporation, which successfully sued Sony for patent infringement related to their controllers. Sony had explained the lack of vibration in the Sixaxis controllers as being the result of concerns about how the vibration would affect the motion sensing abilities of the controller. The PS3 launched with the Sixaxis controller, which had motion sensitive capabilities but no vibration, which was the central feature for the DualShock line of controllers. Like the original DualShock, the DualShock 3 was not originally bundled with the console it is intended to be used with. DualShock 3 is a controller used with the PlayStation 3 (PS3) games console.
