Forums - Sony - PS3 can have 7 controllers connected at once?

So for whatever reason my controllers won't turn on my ps3. i start playing around with the controller assign thing and it goes up to seven! To make it even more stranger the 3 and 4 blocks on my controller are lit, when the hell did this happen? Last time I checked it went to four.

It was always like that. PS3 supports up to seven SixAxis/Dualshock 3 at same time.

really? wtf! does this mean three navs and three moves can be connected?



Why not 8?

Nothing angers me more than odd numbers.

I'm not sure about this one. All I know is you can use up to 4 Moves, I think the camera is the cause of that. If so, this means 3 NavCons 3 Moves can work, but I have no idea at all about that. Sorry!

I think its stuck at 7 due to Bluetooth technology at the time.

Afaik, if there were 8 or more the connection became unstable and couldn't be used properly.

Although I could be wrong.
