Forums - Sony - Sony to make more money after 3.50?

So the latest firmware update disables non sony made controllers right?  So will DS3 sales go up since Sony has pretty much monkey-fucked those who have controllers made by Mad catz, Nykko, etc?

I heard that those sorts of products still work.  What I interpret is not working is there are companies that are producing accessories that look like near replicas of a dual shock 3 controller, yet they aren't the dual shock 3 controller.

So no, I don't think this has anything to do with money.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Not sure if you're trolling but, that is not the case

And I heard it only disabled 3 old mad catz models from before 2008, so yeah, not "all non sony controllers" were disabled, but for some reason people want to think that's the case :/



Edit see other posts about what works and doesn't

Because sites, including VGChartz, post sensational headlines to get hits

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

It's only non-licensed products. I'm pretty sure Mad Catz and Nyko have official licenses.
