Are PS3 Slim packed in controllers of less quality?

From the moment i'd touched the Dualshock 3 Controller that came packed with my PS3 Slim i noticed it'sof lower quality compare to the first ones. It is much lighter, the plastic fells cheaper and this is not a joke, i havehad both a normalnon dualshock and one of the first dualshock 3.that's why i'm telling this. Another thing i have noticed is the face buttons, they aren't very firm like the first ones, they aremore looseand doesn't make a lot of click when they are pressed. I have try others and the same.

It seems the newest controllers are cheaply made compare to the first non dualshocks and the first batch of dualshock 3. I even remember my first non dualshock controller had more firm buttons and they make a lot of click when pressed.

Anyone here have noticed the same?

Only difference I noticed is that they don't have the jet black of the launch PS3s, but rather a matte greyish look to match the Slim's body.

No, I have both and they're of equal quality.

A controller is a controller. As long as its working fine you have nothing to worry about.blabbyboy

They're the exact same controller.

Don't you feel it's a little pointless to argue if one controller is an ounce lighter than the other :?I have the one that came with my PS3 Slim and it's working fine and that's all I ask for and I'd hope you saw it the same way.

I'm not sure if it makes any difference or not, but my Slim is Japanese (Lightning Edition) and my 80GB is American (MGS4 bundle) and I haven't really noticed anything different. The Slim controller seems slightly lighter, but its barely noticeable and only when compared side to side. I don't notice even the slightest difference while playing.

I've noticed this as well. The best PS3 controllers in terms of quality were easily the Sixaxis controllers. Since the Dualshock's have released I've been through 3 of them. The lack of quality is obvious.Doolz2024

Yeah Duashock 3s are better than the Sixaxis because the extra weight and the rumble. But when pressing the face buttons in the first Sixaxis you can fell and hear more a click. That ismy experience after using various Dualshocks and a normal Sixaxis.

ive noticed that the R2 buttons on the dualshock 3's start to malfunction pretty quickly ive been through 3 of em i dont know if its because alot of games rely on that for alot but my sixaxis is still mint and ive put the most hours into it

my blue DS3 has a pretty loose d pad...like obviously looser. wth...
