when the guy said "destroying" he didnt meant something like "zomg my controller justexploded!" it is quite possible for a game to "destroy" a controller, simply by messing with the drivers on the PS3...making the controller uncompatible

THINK ABOUT IT. No game can destroy a controller, its not physicly connected, if you just think about it you will realize how stupid it sounds,

Very strange... maybe a million chance? And just so happened 4 times maybe? I don't know. At least you know how to fix it now.

Well yes it can. The game can send commands to the PS3 then rely the info to the controller and mess up its drivers and such. Like computer viruses.

If it worked fine after a reset most likely it's a problem with the beta where only certain buttons are allowed to respond. Probably a problem with coding my advice: try deleting the Beta and redownloading and reinstalling and see what happens

sounds like BC2 causes a glitch in the PS3's Cell Matrix which sends error codes and corrupts the bluetooth transmissions array.
