PS3 Gun Controllers

PS3 Gun Controllers
Note: This post is meant only to document the current state and availability of 'Light Gun'-type controllers for the PlayStation 3.
In contrast to Microsoft, Sony offers a first-party gun controller. In fact, Sony offers two different gun controllers available for use with PlayStation Move: the PlayStation Move Shooting Attachment and the PlayStation Move Sharp Shooter Attachment. The former houses the motion PS3 controller, while the latter houses both the motion controller and the navigation controller.

Additionally, products similar to the Shooting Attachment and Sharp Shooter Attachment are available from third parties, including Nyko and MadCatz.
Just to complete the rundown, we'll also mention the GunCon 3 from Namco.

GunCon3 Namco's GunCon 3 for PS3

The GunCon 3 is quite similar to Activision's Top Shot Elite for Xbox 360, but in a handgun configuration.
Unsurprisingly, the Gun Con 3 is only compatible with Namco games - Time Crisis: Razing Storm and the older Time Crisis 4 (a version of which is included as part of Razing Storm). Razing Storm also supports the Move-based products from Sony and third parties discussed above. 745TDBanty 130205
