Download a game on the Xbox 360 or the Wii and you're good to go. You can play it. Download a game on the PS3 and you just might have to then tell the PS3 to install it.

You have to manually install any game that you have downloaded in the background. This is strange, sort of like the PS3 is getting back at you for being an efficient multi-tasker. By allowing background downloading, the PS3 is respecting your time and not forcing you to sit through a download. But by requiring you to find the bubble icon that represents the game you just downloaded, click it and install the game, it's just finding a different way to hassle you. Why do I need to tell the PS3 I want to install the game? What else does this system think I want to do with the game I just downloaded??
This wouldn't be so annoying if installing a decent sized game on the PS3 didn't take a couple of minutes—and block the PS3 from doing anything else while the installation is happening. Ugh.
Sony seems to know this is an annoying requirement. It automates installation if you're downloading the game regularly (not in the background). It installs games automatically if you've set your PS3 to shut down via the shutdown option in the system's cross-media bar. (Thanks for that tip, Twitter friends!)
Why does this requirement exist? I never remember to ask Sony people, but I have a theory: you probably have to install background-downloaded games manually because the installation process takes over the PS3 when it starts. As annoying as the installation process is, it would be worse if it kicked in and took over the PS3 while the person operating the PS3 was using the system for something else. Hey, your background-download is done! We're installing the game now, so you just sit tight and don't mind the long interruption!

Six years in, this is one of the PS3's just-deal-with-it flaws. Every system has its annoyances. Don't get me started on the 360's miserably slow Game Library interface. PS3, your mandatory installations are your worst! (Oh, and I wish the machine would remember that I want the Y-axis inverted. My 360 does.)

Hi banekrayt,
a) Which Operating System do you have?
By default the drivers will be placed and software
in C:Program FilesRestart Windows – when it starts to boot up again, hit F8 just after the BIOS does its POST. Select “Disable driver signature enforcement” - this is very important!
Update: You can permanently disable driver signature enforcement from within Windows. Run a Command window (cmd.exe) as administrator, and enter the following:
- bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
- bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Doing this prevents you from having to reboot when installing and using these drivers. It will add a “Test Mode” logo on the bottom right of desktop, to remind you that driver signature enforcement is permanently disabled.
Plug in your Playstation 3 controller. If you haven’t done this before, you will see that some basic Windows drivers are installed. This might lead you to believe that the controller will work right away, but unfortunately it won’t.
From the Start button, run the “Install USB driver” under the “MotioninJoy” folder for the appropriate connection method you’ll be using. Make sure to right click and “Run as administrator” or the driver will not install properly.
(Right click, then click “Run as Administrator)

After the driver installs, a Notepad window will pop up, showing you the driver install log. This is what a successful install looks like, on Windows 7 x64:
Restart Windows again.
At this point, the center light on your controller should not be blinking. This is a good indication that it is working.
Now run the “DS3 Tool” program from the Start button. If you followed the directions properly, the main screen should look like this
Note that the controller is listed at the top. If it doesn’t show up, then you did something wrong. The first thing you should probably do is re-run the “Install USB Drivers” as admin, making sure no error messages pop up.
You can now run the controller with whatever features you wish. I’m not sure if there is a reason not to enable all functionality. Perhaps Performance could be an issue, so only enable the features you need.
If you followed the guide correctly, you should see your controller listed, and have full control of all the inputs. On my first attempt, I neglected to “Run as administrator” so I only saw the controller listed, but had no contol over it.
If you see that dialog, you did it wrong, and the driver did not install . Make sure to hit F8 when you boot Windows, or set it to Test Mode using the commands listed above, and make sure you Run the USB Driver Install as Administrator!

Finally, we have a decent gamepad to use in Windows, including 64-bit. Enjoy! Thanks to the folks at MotionInJoy for creating this driver.
*Note* Keep in mind that installing unsigned drivers is considered by Microsoft
to be a major security issue (or a major source of income, depending on who you listen to), so to use these drivers on a 64-bit OS, you will need to use F8 to boot every time. There are ways to permanently disable signed drivers in 64-bit Windows, but it is considered a major security flaw to do so, and is a major hassle to set up (and is constantly being patched by Microsoft). This will be the case with any unofficial driver release, not just these ones. *Another Note* If you are having troubles getting the drivers to work after rebooting, even after using “F8″, try running the driver install script again . These drivers aren’t perfect, and can be a bit finicky, but they do work. And I think they are the only ones that work in 64-bit. 32-bit users might prefer to use the old drivers we talked about, if you do not need to use bluetooth .
