Sony uses firmware 3.0 to block counterfeit game controllers

[1blufan]

When the 3.0 firmware update came out a few issues arose like game freezing, but also the synching of remotes. As more people started looking into it and getting the manufacturing numbers on those remotes it came to light that they are counterfeits.
Most of these counterfeit remotes are coming from Hong Kong and are being purchased off of ebay. As you all know with ebay they wont do a thing about stopping it, so these fake remotes are going to become widespread.
Sony with this update was able to block these remotes, but will not comment on it.
As I was digging around a little more I found this article on a G4 blog, and a video of a guy going over the differences of a fake and real remote. He was one who purchased a white remote off of US ebay.
