This even extends to the DS3 controllers. They come apart very easily. I've repaired and modded a couple of them.
I had one that broke, err threw at the floor. Which I repaired by purchasing a not working properly one from ebay and swapping the gut's around a bit till I had a perfect ds3 controller with a rainbow led beneath the ps button.

Broken controllers are like ten or fifteen bucks from ebay. So it's a lot cheaper than buying a 60 dollar new controller.

Dramscus5486d ago

LOL how do you disagree with that?
/logic fail

stephmhishot5485d ago

you know kids these days, they are probably upset by the idea of a rainbow LED light, cause you know, rainbows are for the gaze. smh.

pixelsword5485d ago (Edited 5485d ago )

For me, a blank disagree means anything from

"I disagree with your point, but for various reasons I won't/can't respond"

to the more childish (chodeish?)

"I haet you, you got the better of me b4 so I'll disagre and bubble you lolololol!" (spelling errors intentional to reflect the mental shortcomings of such a person).

So if they can't respond rationally, who cares if they disagree; that's like a child at dinner disagreeing that vegetables are good for them: having an opinion doesn't mean it's right or even worth acknowledging when the reality of the situation is that those vegetables are good for him/her and they will be eaten before that kid leaves the table.

The PS3 does have alot of hardware issues the failure rate is terrible thanks for the info.

kunit22c5485d ago

I think menech is confusing the new Xbox 360 slim with the PS3, honest mistake I mean they did only add stuff that the PS3 already had.

Lol, people disagree for the sake of disagreeing. I just laugh at it now. It shows insecurity.

But anyway, that's cool. I would like to learn how tto fix the springs of my directional pad for the DS3. I mostly use the controller to play Blazblue but sometimes I drop my controller by mistake.

Elimin85485d ago

You go butterfingers...
What spring are you referring to? Is it the triggers spring?

blazBlue5485d ago

I mean like the regular directional pad.

Microsoft_Spokesman5485d ago

There isn't springs, there is rubber that sounds like it slipped out of place. Open it and reposition the rubber.

Rare for ps3s to break maybe cause Sony makes lots of products

rezzah5485d ago (Edited 5485d ago )

Or you can buy a new controller, then send back the broken/old one and tel them that the controller is borken. They will give you a new one. So in the end you eventually get 2 new controllers for the price of one. Just hope the person you show it to isnt a bitch, usually fat snobs.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor1d ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

MaximusPrime_1d ago

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

AuraAbjure21h ago

This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha

wesnytsfs17h ago

That and Blur both deserve a sequel, they came out within days of eachother.

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
