Hey all.. as above?
I haven't yet had the funds for ps4 or xbox one so my gaming needs are met by my trusty ps3 and 360. But now my controlls are absolutly shot. The joysticks bend and the "r2" button is floppy.
I have tried argos and amazon but i want actual somy dual shocks. Are these still available?
Cheers

If you had asked a week ago, I had a spare controller but it got traded in along with my console and other controller last week. GAME might be your best bet; other ebay. Surprise Amazon don't have official sony controllers still for sale.

Thanks for the reply
There maybe official ones hidden in the scores of fake chinese replica controllers that apparently (according to reviews) dont work but are very difficult to find.
I still have a crazy amount of games i have never completed on the ps3 and even when i get the ps4 pro and xbox x will still play so i'm desperate for good quality controls.

A thumb stick was going on one of mine. Looked at the cost of 2 controllers and decided it was cheaper lomgterm to buy a PS4.

Gumtree - buy a very good condition 2nd hand Ps3 that happens to have nearly unused controllers. Plenty going about. Especially if you are happy with the very slim ps3 later model. Lots of people bought those new when quite cheap and aren't really gamers so didn't really use them and now want to sell them to get space back.

I picked up a Ps3 Slim, mint, late model 320 gb for £20 the other day on gumtreee... £20!!!!!!
