That happened to one of my Dualshock 3's... Makes WipEout HD interesting. =P

Hehe Wipeout HD is biggest offender here :) This game is real killer for triggers which is why i relocated airbrakes to R1/L1 for racing.

My launch Sixaxis still works perfectly. Thoguh I haven't really used it since I got my DS3 in 2008. I picked up a second DS3 two weeks ago.

All 3 of my PS3 controllers have loose triggers. I mean seriously, wtf Sony? Can't you properly design your controllers to last long like the 360's? I now have to buy another one because the triggers are loose, and I just bought a few months ago. It's very irritating when the triggers are loose because even the slightest touch activates whatever that button does. You've let me down once again Sony.

I have 3. Two of those are fine (a dualshock and a sixaxis).... The third(a sixaxis) i accedently run over with a chair so the triggers is fucked up.. but only because i had to take it apart and reassemble it... And you know.. forgot a few parts XD

Check out my game about moles ^

I don't know about you, but my pre-dualshock and dualshock controllers from 1997, Dualshock 2 from 2002, Sixaxis's from 2007 and Dualshock 3 from 2008 all still function flawlessly. Maybe your general PS3 hate hurt their feelings and they decided to implode on you

I have 4 dualshock 2s and they are all largely fine. The DS3s/Sixaxis controllers are the only ones that've given me problems, especially considering how little I've used them compared to all my ps2 controllers. He's definately not alone here, as I've experienced this very annoying problem first hand.

I have 2 pre dual shock controllers from like 96 and 2 dualshock 2s from the ps2 era and all 4 of those work fine too... Along with my playstation 1 and 2

You threw your controller at a wall, didn't you?

Or did someone step on it.

The first happened to terislb, the second happened to me. It helped in Oblivion. Only R2, though. The little plastic thing between R1 and R2 came out.
