I don't own the phone yet but just checking out all the options for it (I am pretty excited to get it).

This phone seems awesome for gaming. I have seen a few HDMI mirroring videos that has got me really interested in getting a games controller for it.

I have seen you can use a wii controller but I don't really like them. I do like the idea of using a PS3 controller but the idea of paying for an app for this has put me off.

Games have started to get really good for Android (one of the reasons I am upgrading and getting this phone) but I haven't really seen any good controllers yet.

Does anyone here own a bluetooth android games controller and if so what make and is it any good?

Sorry, but the best bluetooth game controller for android is the PS3 controller. The app allows the controller to be used in any game. since it can also map the controller to the touch screen controls.

Great choice on phone, been lovin' mine for over a year now. And yeah, it is great for enjoying games on a large screen.

Hate to be the one to break this to ya, but if the game(s) that you are wanting to play do not have gamepad support built in you will be needing that app anyway. Even with those 'Android controllers'. In games without native support you will have to have a way to map the button presses to the touch screen equivalent. I would think that there is probably a really hard way to do that without the SixAxis app from the Play Store (or maybe there is a free app somewhere?), but, at only being 2 bucks it's a fast, easy, and really good way out. I've tried the 360 controller, the Wii, and a few others. None compare to the PS3 + SixAxis IMHO.
