PS3 DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller Now Available
The PLAYSTATION 3's redesigned DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controllers are currently shipping to North American retailers and are expected to appear on shelves by next week, according to a post on the official PlayStation.Blog. The DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller includes pressure sensors that rumble with each action. SIXAXIS technology is also included, so you can still use motion control, and the controller features Bluetooth technology for wireless gameplay. The titles that support the rumble feature will require a patch (DUALSHOCK 3 Compatibility Chart). The patch will automatically download to your PS3 if your console is connected online. You can pick up the DUALSHOCK 3 controller for $54.99 MSRP.

In the PS3 controller you have:
Motion Sensor (used in games like Heavenly Sword)
Wireless w/ no to little input lag
Long Battery Life
The ability to Start and Shut Down the System
Hence the PS2 controller had none of this (except the wireless for some).
