Good news for all Playstation fans that want to taste some of next gen but aren't fortunate enough to be able to put down 400 bucks for a PS4 this holiday, the german "Computer Bild Spiele" has found out that the PS4 Controller will work with the PS3 if connected via USB. The only problem is that some games seemingly can only be played with a wireless controller (FIFA is one of them allegedly, haven't tested it) so those won't work unfortunately, but most games can be played with the PS4 controller without a problem.

Gonna try this at lunch :)

Don't get food on the controller :D

Looking forward to trying this. My PS3 will be moved to my desk once the PS4 is here, so wired controllers won't be much of a problem and I was getting slightly worried about having to go back to the DS3 after spending time with the DS4

Hmm, that's a pretty cool feature.

Only need 1 controller for 2 consoles? Time to look for some internet deals and trade in my crappy on the way out DS3s.

I doubt it's a feature, it's just the consequence of *ALL* USB controllers working with PS3.

Unless they update the PS3 with software support for DS4 (no such announcement yet), your motion controlls and even rumble won't work anyway.

too late :-/

stupid subway, southwest sauce too, ill get a cloth. 

That would be really cool. I need another controller for the PS3, after I'm having a lot of issues, with the seemingly perfect at first glance chinese knock off DS3 I've bought (didn't know it was, cheap price and looks swelled me, now I regret it, cause a 10$ controller would be just as good, not counting sixaxis )
