Question about PS3 Sixaxis controller

[BorrowedTime]

Interesting problem... I have no answer for you, though. However it should be noted, through all 3 (4 if you count PSP) of Playstation console ownership, The only 3rd party peripherals I've owned are 1 Memory Card (PS1), Naki Hockey Pad Analog Controller that came free with the Purchase of NHL2005? 06? (PS2), Logitech Headset packaged with SOCOM 1 (PS2), and a Logitech Keyboard (PS2). Of these, only the Headset and Keyboard work reliably. Logitech, I believe, has Sony's endorsment to make certain 3rd party products (like the headsets and keyboards), which might explain their reliability and longevity. The memory card was crap, and game saves got corrupted all the time, and the controller is the biggest piece of garbage ever (there's a reason it was free). Also of note, SanDisk memory sticks for PSP and PS3 are cheaper than the Sony ones, but just as good, as SanDisk and Sony developed those sticks together.

Moral of this story? Unless specifically endorsed by Sony, stay away from 3rd party products.
