For me, I've already gone through two. And it's been the same problem both times. When pressing forward on the left analog stick it seems to stick a little bit causing any characters that need to move forward to skip a little. I'm guessing this is normal wear on the controller to happen two times already, although my last controller lasted about 2 months. I tried taking it apart to see if I could fix it. Putting it back together was just frustrating and it soon went in the garbage. I'm going to look for the Dualshock 3 today I suppose. Hopefully it will last. Anyone ever have a similiar problem with their controllers?

Three. On every single one, the left analog breaks and leans to the left or right.

I have still got the 2 controllers, one from launch, and one that I got when I bought warhawk.

No problems so far at all.

mine kept sticking as well exactly the same problem, all i did to fix it was push on the analog stick really hard and it solved the problem never got stuck again

I have two that I've had for a year now and a DS3 that I've had for about two months. The two sixaxis controllers are a little squeaky but otherwise fine.

I have two, the Six-Axis that came with the console (nothing is wrong with it) and now i have a DualShock3.

I did have to replace my Psx and Ps2 controllers at a point in time because some of the buttons would stick,but that because of years of abuse.

No way, I thought it was just mine--the left analog stick gets stuck in the up position on both of my sixaxis controllers. I've gotten used to it but it still sucks for my friends when they're playing UT3 and they fall off a ledge even though they stopped pushing forward. I thought it was weird since I had 3 dualshock 2's on ps2 and never had any problems like this, hopefully the dualshock 3 won't have this problem. $50 is a lot of money for a controller and I expect them to last at least a couple years if treated properly, and mine have been, so it makes me feel kind of ripped off.

the 2 controllers i got with the ps3 bundle had the same problem in a 3 months period of time... right analog stick seems to be jammed and leans always to the left making it impossible to play FPS games or practically any other game... in all i got 5 controllers now (2 are damaged) :(
