Dual Shock 3 repair service

[theclaw]

Anybody offer this? Or is it not cost effective enough? Might be worth considering used if I end up replacing it. As opposed to Sony's $55 retail price...

I took mine apart to slightly clean it, now L1/R1 don't seem to work and a few of the screws have taken wear.

I'm not aware of anyone that repairs DS3s, but I hear ya on the PS3 controllers. I tried to fix a Six Axis some time ago. I can't remember what it was, but I ended up breaking a tiny piece of the controller, effectively ruining it.

I have 3 DSs that have wonky analogs.. I'm sure it was my own doing, but It would be awesome if I could repair them for cheap..

It turns out my spare is a newer revision without those lame removal top pieces.

$55?

Amazon has All DS3's for $42

[theclaw]

True. Sony la la land pricing on the PS3 is best taken with many grains of salt.

If you don't mind going the second-hand route, you can get DS3s for pretty cheap on eBay.

Not yet, too rarely play multiplayer to need that.
