Crap ..now even my L3's startin to give me problems. I purchase a costlier bundle and what I do get bundled is a **** of controller problems. Way to go Sony!

Yes, as agentzero said, it is normal wear and tear. I baby everything i own, including my DS3's, and they still wear in the exact same spot you mentioned. Nothing to sweat. The people saying it did not happen to them just did not even bother to look or notice.

Yeah i agree although the DS2 for the ps2 didnt have any such problem and was short, sturdy and reliable.

Yeah..even I try my best to keep it in mint condition...nothing of the sort happened to my DS2 though. DS3's sticks feel more loose and wiggly!

Well i just bought my ps3 slim 250gb (God Of War 3 bundle) about a month ago and my left analog stick is totally beginning to wear out!

There's a circular depression on the stick (which is occuring due to constant brushing of the stick on the sides I suppose..) and it's continously deepening over time.

There's also some powder near the stick base indicating constant wear of the controller.

Is this a common problem with all ya' DS3 users or is this a manufacturing defect with my controller?!

Please help me as soon as possible. Thanks:)

Well I have nvidia 8400GS 512mb is much much better than 256mb or is it the same

can i run games like gta4 and cod4,crysis on medium atleast
