Just plug in the motion controller to your PS3 using a USB cable, wait for it to sync, and then you can start waving it around to control your games. Easy peasy!
Honestly, I found the PS3 motion controllers a bit finicky. You'll need to sync them every time you use them, which can be a hassle.
I’ve used the PS3 motion controller for games like Sports Champions and it’s pretty simple. Just sync it with your PS3 using a mini-USB cable, and once it’s connected, you can go wireless. It’s super fun and adds a whole new level to your gaming experience!
