The new PLAYSTATION 3's controller is a six-axis dual shock design that looks like this -->
But what happens when this seemingly harmless controller....craps out? Well...you could buy a new one....but...what if it craps out while your playing an online game and you lose because of this....well now your the laughing stock of the gaming community because you got your ass handed to you by a prepubescent 10 year old spewing racial slurs about your moma many times during your demise. Well...then something like this might happen..... This + this | = this |

For those of you wondering where I am going with this, here is my point, I own controllers from my first NES that are over 20 years old...guess what....THEY WORK! These PS3 controllers last around 6 months before they become almost useless. Also these controllers cost a massive 60$...thats right...60 big ones...that's almost the price of one brand new main stream game HEY SONY! WAKE UP! MAKE A GOOD CONTROLLER NOT A CHEAP ONE YOU ASSHOLES! Seriously, they skimped on the design to save a few bucks...and then up'd the price anyway.... Another interesting thing that some of you might not know, if your PS3 has a problem and stops working, it could be something simple and inexpensive to fix it, but that won't stop SONY from charging you a flat rate fee of 200$ to fix it. When my PS3 broke I took a little initiative and decided to figure out what broke and fix it myself. With a volt meter and a screwdriver I discovered that a fuse in the power supply unit had gone out, I simply ebayed "PS3 POWER UNIT" and found thousands of results. I ordered a power unit for 30$ and now my PS3 works fine. SUCK ON THAT SONY!
