New PS3 controller needed

[Jasandjules]

No, I didn't get so fecked off with being killed by people due to lag on Battlefield 3 that the controller was introduced to the wall at high speed. It has just given up. The buttons don't work anymore. So I need a new one.

Anyone ordered from here?

Or got anywhere better to get one from?

I got one from my local blockbuster the other week after I stamped it to death.Saves messing about with mail order unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

Morrisons have them for 32 quid at the moment.....

It's £11 delivered from the place I linked to..... Assuming all goes well of course.

How many PS3 official controllers have you seen with the home button as a playstation logo.

Now, how many have you seen with the letter P and the number 3 on.

No point buying your no name controller abroad.

I'm sure there are plenty of cheap knock of controllers in the UK as well.

Ive got a 'black ops' cod official controller for sale that i no longer use if your interested?

TBH i never really used it in the first place and have got used to my split fish to contemplate going back to a normal controller

At the risk of sounding ever more stupid - is it different to a "normal" controller?

Not really, its more suited to snipers if you play COD/BF3 i find as theres a button on the back that slows down the aiming. Its also mappable for quick firing and so on.

I probably should charge it up and try it on BF3

Ok ive tried it and cant get used to it so if your interested, drop me an email.

Ive only used it a couple of times as i bought the splitfish shortly after, i may have the original packing!?!

I've sent you a message.

Don't get a generic replacement off eBay, despite how cheap it might appear to be. I got one which had a "p3" button instead of an original item and it was shockingly bad quality, the thumbsticks were stiff and while playing cod were "all or nothing" when trying to aim.

Caveat emptor when thinking of buying a non original ps3 controller.
