PS3 controllers

Do any of you clever lot know of a cheap, half decent, second controller for a PS3?

Thanks :D

  • Sony did a firmware update that blocks the use of 3rd party controllers on the PS3. So I'm afraid at the moment your only option is to buy an official Sony one, either new or 2nd hand.

    they didn't block all third party controllers, just unlicensed ones.

    However as a result i would be tempted to say suck it up and buy a Sony one, they're usually more reliable and not likely to be "cut off". I believe some Logitech ones are still OK - or atleast i think thats who makes the CoD Black Ops branded ones! Still a pain in the backside though, especially since at one point Sony were doing a double pack of the original (sixaxis - not dual shock 3) controllers for a kick in the butt under £40!
