Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Are the materials for the sticks the same? I heard they changed it. It's supposed to be not as rubbery as it was before.

I didn't notice anything, but I wasn't really looking for it either. I'll be sure to compare them once my other controllers come back from Sony.

I was wondering about the process and how much of a pain it is. Mine thumbstick is torn from Fifa, I think its time to call Sony.

As Tom Petty says... the waiting was the hardest part. I had to wait about 13-14 minutes for a rep to chat with. Once the came on I gave a brief explanation and that asked for my PSN and email. I didn't even have to provide a receipt or anything and they would repair them if I sent them in. They sent me an email with directions and I boxed them up and sent them out the next day. The entire process took less than 25-30 minutes and like I said, the majority of that was waiting on the rep.

If you don't feel like dealing with Sony.. You could just get some of those thumb grips? My left stick is torn some and I just popped a pair on, worked fine for me.

That's certainly an option for thumbsticks. I'm thinking about getting some for my 360 controllers that one of my dogs destroyed the right stick.

Really not interested in stick covers, just don't want my controllers to break down after a few months of light use.

Yeah, that's not acceptable. I still have a PS3 controller that came with my original console... other than the comically short battery life and the text wearing away on the info plate on the back, it still looks and works great.

My Sixaxis controller is in better condition than my ps4 dual shock, yeah.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Seriously, do you guys throw your controllers off a building before using them?

Preheat them in an oven?

Crush test them with your car?

Only use them after they've passed all the way through a stray cat?

It's gotta be one of those.

Hey guys, I recently lost my job and only have enough money to pay my upcoming cable/Internet bill. Does anyone have a PS Plus trial code I can use? If so, please DM me. It will be greatly appreciated.

Playing UFC so much really did a real number on my controllers. One of them I knew was messed up from playing UFC. The other I didn't realize it was missed up until I started playing NBA 2K14 and noticed that my R1 button was sticking.



I tried taking it apart and fixing it myself, but it didn't really work so I contacted Sony and they said they would repair them, all I had to do was pay for shipping. Done and done.



In the meantime, I bought a new controller and oh man does it feel so good!

Yep, this is why I'm trading it in towards NHL 15.



This game isn't good enough in my opinion, for my controllers to take the beating they're getting.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

For people who have sent their controllers to Sony.. How long does it take to get your replacement. I have 2 controllers and they both have the same joystick problem and I'm thinking about sending them in together.

Same here thankfully.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Yeah I'm not understanding all these damaged controllers. I go pretty hard on the analogs while playing battlefield and my controller is like it was right out of the box.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I wish I had your guys' luck. I take great care of my belongings and have minor OCD and both of my controllers have ripped joysticks.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Yeah, it's obviously a bad batch or something. Has little to do with amount of use.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Yeah my right stick has a rip in it, but it isn't bothering me though. And it came from playing UFC as well.
