PS3 Button - Blu-ray Forum

garlad · 04-11-2008, 09:32 AM

Is it possible, or do you think Sony will introduce a way, to disable the PS3 button during gameplay? My thumb has often slipped on to the PS3 button during frantic games of FIFA 08 and other games and has cost me!!!

Anyone else experience this or am i just clumsy??

I would say clumsy.

How can you touch the PS3 button in the middle of a game...?

Your primary buttons are all on the right side...

If you try to hit the start button to pause, your thumb could accidentally slip and hit the PS button?

It won´t happen, cause I know that the START button is more on the right side, and not in the middle...

Coordination my friend.

Op must be clumsy hitting ps button. My hands are kinda big for the controller, but ive never hit ps or start during games. I have no issue keeping my thumbs on the sides.

when playing COD4, I tend to always hit the PS button while holding the L3 button to spring

I've had my thumb slip off the right stick while playing NHL 08 a number of times.

Cheers for the comments anyway, was just throwing it out there!

I have never once since I bought my PS3 last July hit the PS button by mistake while playing a game.

Shin-Ra · 04-11-2008, 01:51 PM

Can't say I've had that problem either.

Thegide · 04-11-2008, 01:52 PM

It's unlikely they would add a feature to disable the button, because it's required for things critical to the controllers function, such as... turning it on and off, and setting its ID.

Unfortunately, you'll just have to learn to not hang your thumbs over the edge of the analog sticks, or maybe you could come up with a homemade solution such as filing the button down, or putting something hard over it.

Tend to always... Intersting use of language my friend.

I never had this problem, but I also have smaller hands. I can see how it might be a problem for those with meathooks.

Yeah, you don't have to hold it down. Jush push it and you sprint. I've never accidentaly pushed the ps button either.

Radimus · 04-11-2008, 03:09 PM

i cant relate, i ve never hit it accidentally and i ve had my PS3 since launch day.

however, i could see them adding options for it, maybe something like another setting where you have to double tap it?

dk3dknight · 04-11-2008, 03:17 PM

The only button i've accidentally hit was L3 while playing orange box, moving with left analog stick dodging past some hunters I would always crotch... but hey the crotch and movement keys are on the same stick.

Shin-Ra · 04-11-2008, 03:38 PM

I didn't know Gordon Freeman was that kindof man.
