Cheapest place to buy Dualshock 3 Controller

hi my six axis controller what came with my 60gb is getting a bit old and stiff (analogue keys), its time to buy a new controller, but i want to get the best deal, are there any good places to buy the controller?

 

If they still sell six axis, i'm happy to buy one of those  


I want to reach 250 friends, so add me. :smileyvery-happy:

Your joking right? I got a Twin pack Sixaxis for £30 from Gamestaion online... so look about. As for dualshock 3's i'm on my third now.... So upto you.

Re: Cheapest place to buy Dualshock 3 Controller

DS3s are far better than Sixaxis controllers and worth the extra cash for me.

 

The feel a lot better because of the weight and the strength of the buttons, it feels a lot better quality than the sixaxis controllers. Neither my Sixaxis or DS3 has broken since I got them, I can't understand how they will break unless you throw them at a wall or constantly drop it.

Yeh maybe if you buy them seperately, they might of been built more recently, if you do a google theres quite a few people complaining about the strength of the controller that came with the 60gb. I just need a new one, i'll check gamestation.

Never once dropped my DS3's or threw them at walls, i just used them briefly and looked after them (i still have pads from ps1, snes etc... that work today). As i was using them they suddenly just started to make my view on screen (FPS game) spin. I just think the original sixaxis and DS3 are shoddily made.
