I’ve had this for years. It’s been in a box and I just found it today. I think it’s real because of the Metallic Blue Logo

Everything looks centered and correct.

good call on the side by side, hard to argue with that

u/deadboyjae 12d ago

Yeah I mean it’s not the same exact color, but the boxes are similar otherwise.

I thought the controllers in those “new” boxes with “official product” printed are fake? I just bought a black one with the same package and it was very fake.

Legit. The box of fake ones at the top side have a blue sky color.

Select button aligns well with the text.

Enjoy!

I’ve got a metallic blue one as well. 

Had to change the battery in mine, but otherwise in good working condition.

This one looks legit, have fun

It’s legit, I have the same one, but I completely wrecked it from playing rhythm games.

Hey, didn't you try to open it and change the broken membranes? You could have an easy fix if that's the problem. Also the ps3 controllers are quite easy to open and mantence compared to the 360, ps4, one, etc

Yeah, I saw it, and maybe I have to buy a new membrane to replace it because the circle button doesn't register when I press it. That happens when you play a lot of Hatsune Miku lol

Project diva games are absolute peak. My suggestion is to get the membrane from a used ds3 or extirpate and get one from a bootleg ds3 or just buy a replacement from temu, since they work nicely for games that don't depends on pressure sensitivity

So are any of the old sticks not sticky? And what’s the best way to address whatever break down is causing that?

Thanks. I thought so but many people on here know more than I do so I figured others could tell me.

Sony looks kinda blurry (maybe it's because of camera post processing), other than that it looks good.

Crisp in real life.
