A wireless one that has a USB cable charging it. :) Just kidding, I'm looking for one as well, my wireless controllers disconnect sometimes and won't reconnect leaving me no choice but to turn the system off lose my progress. Its the PS3 and not the controllers without a doubt. What are the chances of 4 controllers being bad. Any way to fix this?

never had trouble w/ mine. It seems the 60gb's are the best built out of all PS3's.

Yeah, get a 360.


Just trolling...


I've never had that problem with my PS3. Could be other wireless devices in the vicinity that are interefering. Is there anyway you can change the channel that the PS3 controllers are using?

(also, 4 controllers?! Are there any games apart from PES/FIFA that even have local 4 player support?!)

I wouldn't even suspect that it's interference, since it's a Bluetooth connection. What model PS3 do you have?

I have a 360 Elite and when it gets Valk. Chronicles, MGS4, LBP, GOW 3, the Ico spirtual sequel, Killzone 2, the other 2 FF13 games and my 360 stops getting RROD I will get rid of my PS3. My brother has a PS3 and brought over his controllers for testing and playing LBP, because it has 4 player support. I didn't know you could change the channels, would anything besides other Bluetooth devices interfere with the controllers?

It's always: The PS3 is going to be great. Everybody is waiting for these amazing games... Where are the amazing games right now. My PS3 is a £300 paperweight.

I forgot that the PS3 had bluetooth. There's still chance that the system has interference from something since it is a wireless technology. Just because it's b/t doesn't mean it's impervious to interference. Other than that I don't know of anything to check for. I've never had that problem with my PS3.
