bought a brand new dual shock 2 and started using it and find out that the shoulder buttons are pretty unresponsive and the left analogue stick sticks. I open it up and was surprised to see that the inside was constructed much cheaper and shoddily than the dualshock 2 that came with my slim system. fucking pissed me off. I just got done slamming it to bits in the sink.
I was invited into the beta for that new Playstation Rewards program. Reading the details, it doesn’t sound that great. But what the fuck, it’s free.
I’m in too. Basically you gain levels based on playing new BD PS3 games, getting stuff off the Store, and using Home.
So, for me, the normal stuff. Also, chance to get into CES.
So anybody else completely hate the Move controller? I tried it for the first time the other day and it felt completely awkward. My hand felt strained to press the trigger and it slid around in my damn hand. Motion control was fairly responsive, but nothing different than what I’ve already played.
wtf? i should be invited for buying all my games on my ps3. my trophy level is low but i have a ton of games sitting at 0-1% and i don’t use home so maybe that’s why i’m not in it.
Did anyone get The Sims 3? Seems the 360 ver. is OK. I’m thinking of getting it when it gets a price drop tho.
My trophy level is really low too. I did use Home a lot at one point, but that was half a year ago. Gamer Advisory Panel is what got me in but that was invite too I think.
Never understood what makes The Sims fun, but I got friends that only play Sims.
In Sony news, they made money!
The controller is fine, IMO. The games are pretty much shovelware though.
I do think Trophy level plays a good part of it, but there’s no direct way to tell.
Wow that freaking sucks, where did you get it?
I’m at Level 5, that’s low right?
damn. do you need another ragequit tee? lol.
I finally get my baby back today! It’s sitting on my dining room table, begging for me to unbox and unwrap it, then make sweet, sweet button-mashing love to it. Too bad I won’t have too much to play with it this weekend, but at least I also get to try out the disc-less Netflix feature; it works great on the Wii I’ll admit.
Better than some people on my list. I’m level 13, with more than 1000 trophies, and 7 Platinums.
It was brand new from amazon, I just hadn’t gotten around to using it much. What really pissed me off is that when I took it apart the insides were obviously inferior to my old DS2, which is fine except L1 and L2 dont work.
Call up customer service, see if you can get a replacement.
Did you get it at a disgustingly-low price? If you, you may have been sold a 3rd party knock-off version, or possibly a used/refurbed one.
Sucks that you spent that money and have to waste time going through the hassle of rebuying another controller and figuring out what to do with the old (broken) 'stick.
Nah it was a real DualShock 2 SCPH 10010, it’s just that I assume they make them cheaper with each successive generation, or maybe the ones that come with systems are just better quality than the loose ones.
