Is it possible to still find new GENUINE ps3 controllers now a days?

Is it possible to still find new GENUINE ps3 controllers now a days?
There are many many fakes in the market, and even supposedly reliable sources on Ebay or local stores are selling fakes, usually they themselves dont know.
Should i try to find a used controller instead?

They don't seem to be produced anymore. Your best bet is a used one.

Get a DS4 or a Steam Controller, don't deal with the DS3, its garbo.

OP never said he was playing on PC

OP here.
I do want a controller for my PC. Im tired of using cheap generic USB shit that is very little responsive and has huge deadzones. Always liked dualshock more than other models, but the DS4 looks awkward.

In fact, do anyone know if those ps2 to pc adapters are any good?
My DS2 is still working fine, and it is by far the best controller i ever handled. I think im gonna get one of those instead.

Get a WiiU pro controller and the mayflash adapter

For whatever reason that adapter makes the WiiU pro work on two platforms. PC, and for whatever reason PS3

I'm looking for them too... this controller has that "pressure sensitive button" gimmick that you can't find in any other controller...

I think I'll stock about 5 of them.

literally everyone says DS4 is better than DS3

Can you not just walk into a walmart or Target and get one?
I'm almost positive you can, at least where I live.

This thread is perfect. Okay guys, so, last month I was at an anime convention with some friends. In the dealer's room, these guys are selling a 60 gb PS3 for only $170, bought it. However, console came with a crappy 3rd party controller, so I bought a real PS3 controller from em. When I got home, hooked the shit up and all, console works fine, but, the PS3 controller never sync up to the console. Period. Just, it won't. I tried hitting the reset button, holding down the PS Button, booting into safe mode and plugging it in, nothing. The weird part is the crappy 3rd party controller works, and my PS4 controller works too. But not the PS3 one. What do I do? I can't play the console without the controller, and I don't wanna use the crappy 3rd party one. I mainly got a new PS3 because my old one broke, and I wanna play some games I missed on it. What the hell do I do?

Seriously, the DS4 is way better. You can use the touch pad as a mouse pointer, very useful when pairing with a pc.

Don't fuck with adapters and shit thats a rabbit hole no one wants to fall down.

You need to activate the sinusoidal wave injector inside the inrafracting lake circuit

the controller doesn't work and you got scammed or the ps3 has a faulty bluetooth module

either way nothing you can do except troubleshoot and replace.

Is there anyway to replace a bluetooth module?

Also, how legit is this?

Pls respond

Is the bottom one the fake in that picture?

yes, use google.

ask the seller if it's OEM

>60 gb PS3 for only $170
That's triple what it's worth.

PS3, not PS4.

you can tell which one is fake just by holding it. the fake one feels lighter and it rattles a lot when you shake it.

most places dont sell new ps3 controllers anymore.

Maybe he is not from the US.
PS3s are still quite expensive in other countries.

I have one question for the people with DS4
How does the lack of start/select button affects you? How does it work?

share/options buttons act as start/select

I ordered a legit one from amazon japan a while ago. Seems they have some occasionally.

Really, on ps3? Holy shit I can't wait to replace my shitty ds3.

if he's not from US then he would use his own currency instead of $ sign

just postan to say the PS3 controller is the biggest peice of dogshit ever created

I don't particularly hate it, but it definitely has always had that cheap, shitty, plastic Chinese toy feel

You said the other controllers work? If they work via bluetooth, it's not that, obviously.

>the fake one feels lighter
That's not a foolproof way to judge. Some legit ps3 controllers weighed less than others.

60gb ps3's have backwards emulation and probably are also on lower firmware so they're definitely more valuable.

No, you need the fucking home button for shit. DS4 will only work if there is a DS3 paired with the system.

He might have converted the prices.
For instance, im from brazil, and it is very hard to find a PS3 here for less than 600 reais (180 dollars)

t. xcocks fag
turn 360 degrees and walk away loser

what kind of shitposting is this? it‘s literally one of the best controllers

>Just use the DS4 XD!
>It only works for a few games.

im quite sure most pc games arent compatible with any dualshock, you need to use that 360 controller emulator on top of it all.

>Run game through steam
>DS4 compatibility mode (also one for generic controllers)
Stupidly easy.

The 3rd party controller is you plug in a USB, it glows a fucking blinding red, and it works. PS4 controller works fine. The problem is, I just don't know where to buy an authentic PS3 controller.

Forgot to mention, but my PS3 controller doesn't work on PC either with SCP or betterDS3 whatever it's called.

bump

You just have to get lucky I guess.

Almost a year ago I started searching for new DS3. I went to a lot of Walmarts, some Targets and even the small electronics stores but nobody has them anymore. Amazon has some at $45 but fuck paying that much, a DS4 is even cheaper if you wait for a sale (and is potentially the better option, if you don't care for MGS).

tl;dr: unless you really, really want a new legit DS3 be prepared to pay a lot. No, the chink controllers are trash, don't even think about it. Reddit said this is a decent option, it's ten bucks after all.

SCP stopped working randomly so I ended up buying a white xbone controller. Yes I did reinstall it multiple times with the same result.

Everything's fine but lol that dpad sucks for extended sessions of platformers.

Does it have the pressure sensitive buttons and the SixAxis thing?

>Does it have the pressure sensitive buttons and the SixAxis thing?

No, that's the only reason holding me back from buying it since I prefer cables and the layout looks comfy. Fuck having to charge batteries.

They're out of production. Your best bet is to go to eBay and buy from a seller with a high rating and many sold. There are absolutely genuine controllers there. Otherwise scour Walmarts for PSTV bundles; got one for $30 and it came with a Dualshock 3, PSTV, and 8GB Vita memory card.

Craigslist. Just yesterday I bought two legitimate DS3s in Austin, in pretty much mint condition, but without the USB to 5-pin cables for $15 in Austin. Went straight to Best Buy, bought a cable for 14 bucks. You can find good ones if you try.

GameStop. That's where I got mine the other week.

You wouldn't walk away if you turned 360 degrees retard

Can I use a DS4 controller for PS3?

Both of my DS3 controllers are broken.

Ctrl+f son

What seems to be the problem user? Too much Black Ops broke your L3? Fix it

There are plenty of controllers that are way worse. I do really hate the thumbstick placement though. xbox has the best controllers ever made. period.

How do I make the PS4 controller work on PS3 while unplugged? As soon as I unplug it it reconnects to the PS4.

>pressure sensitive button" gimmick
It's true, you legitimately can't do the lockpicking of Alpha Protocol in PS3 with a DS4 due to the lack of pressure sensitive triggers.

...

OP if you’re still I would suggest you also look the those Vita TV bundles because they come with a DS3

>tfw still using OG PS3 controller
>only works when plugged in
>battery dies in 20 minutes

I like using the DS4 for pc most of the time but I hate pretty much everything about the middle of the controller. The touchpad and what passes for the start and select buttons just ruin it for me.
