So I bought flOwer yesterday and when I tried to play it with my DS3 it didn´t respond to any move but left and right tilting

however I´ve noticed that in LBP my Sackboy is always watching down :S

Is there a way to repair it?

Or should I defenitely waste other $50 buying another one?

No other problem but the motion sensor though

If it doesn't work properly, then you won't be wasting your money if you buy another....

yeah Im not speaking bout analogs :S

Indeed it´s the SIXAXIS guess I should have mentioned it instead of motion sensing

the problem with it is just forward and backwards it works great spinning it or tilting it left or right

try the reset button on the back. Also, try and nod your sackboys head to see if it works at all.

i think in LBP it depends on the angle you are holding the controller at when you start the game, i think it uses that as a 'zero-point'. If you change the way you sit during play, it can make him look up/down permanently (or at least until you restart the game i think)

yeah but it always ends up looking down! Maybe I should reset my controller leaving it on a flat position....

I believe there is a year warranty on the DS3, so as long as you have your receipt and you've had it less than a year give Sony a call. Even if none of that applies to you I would still call Sony and ask them how much it would cost to get it fixed, see how it compares to the price of a new controller.

oh, all of my controllers are Dualshock 3 (I thought he meant PS3, lol). I've never had problems with them before.
