I was wondering if anyone else had problems with sixaxis and dualshock 3 controllers. Because the controller (sixaxis) which came with the ps3 bundle started having problems in 2 days. The problem was right analog stick was being weird it was working by itself, because of it it was hard to decide it the game or the controller had problems because they are both brand new, you wouldnt think any of them should have problems. But I found out couple days later that right analog stick had problem cause i went and bought a new one. And plus when i bought dualshock 3 controller 2 weeks ago started having problems the next day, the problem was left analog stick was moving repeteadly downwards and froze the ps3 couple times. I have 3 controllers the only one doesnt have a problem is the sixaxis i bought after the right analog incident. So anyone ever had a problem with the controllers before?

no problems with the regular sixaxis, but my dualshock 3 i got, my left analog stick was messed up (ex. pushing it all the way up, character wouldn't run,) so I sent it back to playasia

I've read from somewhere the reason why a controller moves on it's own was due to many wireless interferences (wireless phone, cellphone, wireless..stuff *not including wireless internet*) that it will lose connection for a bit.

Like when I'm playing Warhawk, my character starts spinning in a circle. And I fix it by moving my controller next to my PS3. But that rarely happens so if it happens alot, then you should return the troller to sony.

Nah, no problems here. As long as you don't Gorilla your controller it should be okay.

It's happened a couple of times to me but it fixes itself in a second or two. Luckily it hasn't affected my gaming yet.

It would be pretty bad if in the middle of an epic boss battle your character starts spinning in circles and you died because of it.

What actually you are experiencing is the controller loses its connection to your system. It takes a second or 2 to reconnect.

I had mine pull right with the aim which is controlled by the right analog stick. I called Sony and sent it in under Warranty - got a new one in the mail.

Also have problem in Madden 07 that it keeps bringing up the audible option - no other game has an issue with this (square button......)
