[QUOTE="mingo123"]didnt sony say the same with ps2's DRE problems? *get a new console*thrones

They told me to take it down to my local gamestore as they should know how to fix it :|

Once I had a Disk Read Error on my PS2. I called SONY and they fixed it for me for free.

So that's why I was so suprised that they are being like this with controllers.

Question is it possible dude sent you back 2 broken controllers he already had and kept yours?

I was thinking the same....but what can I do???

[QUOTE="NathanDrake"]

And do you think I'm dumb???

my best guess is that the dude changed the joysticks...and he sent me back his broke joysticks.Couth_

Well... that speaks volumes, you probably got conned.. this is ebay your dealing with. Try changing the batteries. ALso I think it's hilarious that you call them JoySticks :lol:

:D ok ok...I told you guys it's a Hungarian thing....Hungarians call contollers joysticks...no big deal:)

I wanted to change the batteries but you know what??? No one sells them...Best Buy, Circuit City, PC Richards.....not even SONY. I looked on e-bay on Amazon...all over the place...no one sells them.

SONY costumer service told me that no one suposed to sell them anyway. So changeing the batteries is not an option.

The fact that you call them joysticks instead of controllers makes me wonder if you're actually talking about Atari.

I don't believe you, sorry.

I believe only because I have seen him post in here several times. He is usually very pro Sony. Not rabidly-pro, but none the less pro Sony. Also, Sony's customer service track record is not the best. Sorry man. Hope things work out.

Thanks for beliveing me!!:) It's supriseing to see so many people doubt what I said. I don't know why it's not belivable. But you guys are more than welcome to call SONY and find out yourselfs.

They won't do a thing. They give 3months warranty on joysticks and 1 year on consoles.

Also to clarify...I sold 2 joysticks...not 4. so I still have 2 SIXAXIS's at home and just got 2 DualSock 3's not long ago.

That's a Hungarian thing ...:) sorry about that! (I'm Hungarian)

Also you don't have to belive me. It's up to you!

What do we think?

Personally, I think your story is total and complete BS. Did you even try the controllers when you got them back? Are they even actually broken?

I find it extremely unbelievable that ALL of them managed to break in the mail. I find it even more unbelievable that customer service would tell you, essentially, too bad. For all they knew the were brand new and should have still come under some sort of warranty.

Sorry, but your story doesn't hold water.

It doesn't??? I don't care if you belive it or not...that's the turth!! I was always a loyal PS fan...always playing on Playstation. What do you think I get out of this??? Nothing. Just wanted to let you guys know to be carefull with stuff like that and wanted to see how you guys react to this...I was outraged.

And do you think I'm dumb??? Obviously I tried the controllers out when I got them...I reset them, I tried to connect them to the PS3 via USB cable. I left them to charge one whole night...and nothing. They just died....my best guess is that the dude changed the joysticks...and he sent me back his broke joysticks.

But what can I do about it??? Nothing at all. I guess I was just screwed than.

Anyway....do not accuse me of lieing!!! I get very angry when people do. I never lie.

What's with all this GRID>>>>GT5 threads???

First off...we don't even have GT5 yet...just GT5P. Second GT5P looks way better than GRID!

GRID is a good game but doesn't look as good as GT5P.

Also who is the "most poeple" who agree with that?

Darthmatt

I think we can both agree on that each game has it's strengths and weaknesses. It just comes down to preferance. But as far as gfx go....GT5P is better.

Yes, they are not very helpfull. Read this story to find out why.

So I had 4 SIXAXIS joysticks at home and I wanted to get the DualShock 3 insted of the regulas SIXAXIS. My girlfriend told me the only way she let me do it (you know without a fight :D) is if I sell at least two of the SIXAXIS joysticks. So I agreed and whent on e-bay to sell them. One guy won them for $51 wich is very good compared they would only give me $20 for the two in GameStop. So I sent them to the guy and when he got it he claimed that they are not working at all. So I told him to try this and that, still nothing. At the end he sent it back and I refunded his money. I called up SONY and told them that I have two joysticks that won't work what can we do about it?? Do you guys know what they said??? No??? Guess!!!!

They told me to throw them out and buy new ones.......... :shock: ...........that was my reaction. It's a $110 down the drain. I asked for the manager but he told me the same. I explained that I've been playing on Playstation every since the first came out and I had no problems just this once and they can't help me out at all?? I'm even willing the pay to get them fixed but the guy kept on telling me to throw them out and buy new ones.....like $110 is no money at all.

So thanks SONY!!! You are #1 !!!!!

What do you guys think of that?

I can already see the topic

"10 resons why the 360 is better than the PS3"

just watch!!! :D

On topic.....every console has it's strengts and weekneses. I don't think we constantly need to compare them. It's been done to death.
