You got to relax when you play games :) I've bought 5 total, but the all work. Only 1 isn't getting a little flakey. Sometimes the left analog stick won't fully center itself.
I smashed one on the ground once, but it still works. I've only bought 2 Dualshock 3's and both of them have worked fine for about 2 years. Strangely my PS2 Dualshock 2 controllers no longer work, even though they were never damaged. They used to work just fine, but my PS2 has been boxed up for a couple of years. I tried playing some PS2 last week and half the buttons wouldn't register anymore.
One. I threw it on the couch, it bounced off the edge, hit the floor and the R1 + R2 buttons broke. I didn't throw it out of rage just incase anybody is wondering. I just have extremely bad luck.
well ive only had one since i bought my ps3 (and thats the one that actually came with the system) id hafta say none....besides im pretty responsible when it comes to owned property. (and those things are expensive, WHY BREAK ONE???)
i still have my sixaxis controller from 3 years ago, works fine. my 2nd controller is a dualshock and it too, is not broken in anyway....how on earht do people go through 5 controllers???? to me, thats not possible....unless you throw a 9 year old tantrum and throw the controller at a wall.
I broke one PS1 controller in a drunken rage but fortunately they were easy to fix. The N64 controller on the other hand, forget about it! Once you take one of those apart, all these parts come out. :P From the PS2 on, I've never broken a controller.
[QUOTE="dank124"]3, and i traded them all back to gamestop.LordsLoss
How did they break and how did you get them to take them back? two were the cheap sisaxis i had from launch that just stopped working properly and the other one was a ds3 that i took apart and lost a few screws and some of the little plastic innards. and they didnt even bother testing them although i didnt get much for them, maybe 20bucks for all three, this was in november
None... I don't throw my possessions around, I work hard for the things I buy lol.
I'm pretty gental with controllers when playin too. I've seen people who just slam the joysticks around and stuff. People like that don't play my PS3 lol
None, I have taken care of both of my controllers. I start to realize when I am getting to that point of anger and just put the controllers and game down now. I remember breaking a ton of SNES controllers back in the day and have learned since then.
None. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the Dual Shock 3 is a well made controller - it feels hollow, creaks when you grip it tightly and has sticks that noticeably loosen over time. But I've never broken one. I only broke one of my old Dual Shock 2s, but that's because one of the buttons stopped working, I took it apart, and when I put it back together again nothing worked.
My left analog on one started acting funny like it would say it was going up slightly all the time. Enough to make me notice and annoy me and another looks like it may be heading that way. They are both form launch and the original SIXAXIS controllers though.
After the PS2 days, I make sure that if I ever get annoyed I do not take my anger out on the controller.
So far I haven't broken any PS3 controllers, but a couple have deteriorated in condition (especially analog sticks going sticky) so I'm currently on my 4th controller due to that.
Had one of my controllers have the spring in the right trigger break ...It's an easy fix but I haven't really bothered since I have another controller and I don't really play splitscreen/co-op.
