Wow... 45 dollars? 10 away from a brand spanking new DS3...

Sorry. Cant help. Stick with first party. (had to say it)

To get my dualshock/sixaxis controllers first to register with the PS3, I had to have them plugged in with a USB cable and then hitting the PS button. I don't see why with any other controller it would work differently. It needs that first sync-up.

And I haven't had any problems with my DS3/SIXAXIS controllers. At all.

tried it doesnt work

This is why you should always try to be first party.

But at least you didn't buy MadCatz/Gamestop brand, or else you would be in a world of trouble.

no i used to have a madcats ps2 controller that lasted forever no problems what so ever but i was going to stick with 1st party just to help sony out but i have gone through 3 of them in since ps3 release and it is ridiculus. ps2 controllers lasted forever but ps3 dont so im either using this controller or getting another 3rd party onerolltide101x

Well, how do you treat your controllers?? I mean, my sixaxis (the one thatcame with the PS3) still works perfectly. It makes some sqeeky sounds from time to time but definitely works fine.

bought a DS3 because intec controller wouldnt work and logitech ps3 controller sucks does DS3 last better than sixaxis

Really Just use the 1st party.

1.They are way better due to the materials the higher end companies use.

2.They have Wireless Recievers meant to always be in sync with the PS3.

3.Don't you think they would make a controller that works great with the $500 system they made?

Buy a sony DS3,They are expensive.but they work.

It took us 1 minute to sync up our DS3.

Good News...! I e-mailed intec customer service and they got back to me - here is what you have to do if the playstation 3 and controller do not sync automatically.

1. Make sure the playstation 3 and controller are both turned off.

2. Plug the controller into the playstation using the provided USB cord.

3. Turn on the Playtstation 3 so that it loads the main screen.

4. Turn on the controller using the switch on the front of the control.

5. Press the LINK button (above the home button). - The 4 LED lights will start blinking fast as the controller is searching for the receiver.

6. Plug in the receiver module into an available USB port on the playstation 3 console. - The LED lights will now begin flashing slower.

7. Press home.

........and the controller should now assign itself to a player!!

Long process ... but it works! Follow that exactly ... and it will work.
