What's the best PS3 peripheral? The Eye Toy? The upcoming Play TV? No, the accolade for best PS3 add-on goes to a couple of tiny pieces of plastic that can transform your game playing experience. I'm talking, in fact, about the 'Real Triggers', now available for the princely sum of £2.99 a pair, from HMV and Game.
The Real Triggers fix what is, to me, the biggest problem with the PS3's controller. No, not the lack of vibration - which is itself being addressed with the new DualShock PS3 controllers - but the problem with the PS3's bottom triggers. There's nothing supporting the triggers on the PS3 pad, meaning that they feel very spongy. Which may seem like a minor complaint, but just try playing Grand Theft Auto 4 with them, and you'll see what I mean.
The Real Triggers simply clip onto the existing triggers and hey presto, you've got a joypad with the same non-spongy triggers that the PS2 pad had. You don't even have to open your controller up, and the triggers easily stand up to serious play. They do their job perfectly, and saved me the hassle of having to fork out for a PS2 to PS3 joypad converter. A great little item.
