How to spot a fake ps3 controller (white)
partneringco To : Mr. Lai Flat 10, 4/F, Thriving Industrial Centre 26-38 Sha Tsui Road, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong Clues: Price! Like $20 cheaper. New, but came without out a box?! How did I miss that originally? My shipment arrived naked (without box) in an envelope, and I thought hrrrrm. Functionality. Didn’t synch properly and would randomly rewind movies. Workmanship/Finish. Cheap knockoff. Also the glare covered up the fact that the fake white controller had the same MODEL # as the authentic Black controller. Also please let me know if you find any discrepancies. **update 8-28-09 I called Sony US based technical support 3 days ago and the representative was unable to offer much help or concern because Ebay is not an authorized vendor. The representative told me to use the customer support link on their webpage which I did. Someone there contacted me the next day to inform me they couldn’t do anything about it since it’s an item from Japan (non-interest again) and referred me to the Sony Japanese customer support site. I sent them the same information as well and am awaiting a response. Additionally I contacted the consumerist via their tips link on or about the 24th and am awaiting their response. The first negative feedback (toolhaus.org) concerning fake controllers from this vendor was on May-12-09 at 08:41 am. Yet through all of ebay/paypal’s investigative prowess of counterfeits they have STILL been unable to determine if this vendor traffics in fake goods. In effect …
OMG I GOT A FAKE FROM A LEGIT STORE!!!!!
ILL SUE THEM!!!!!!!!
@ANewBosnianKing
That’s good to know. I was talking about in comparison to my known good white controller. The fake one let more light through. Thanks for commenting and game on!
Just remember this. Sony didn’t give a crap about 3rd party controllers or knockoffs before the usb jailbreak! Check the video description for the gory details of my dealings with Sony USA. Sony Japan blew me off too. Also earlier comments have useful information. Please check them out.
Game on!
@rockinrondogg sorry? my country is actually growing and has the lowest unemployment of the world (america going down the shitter means growth for allot of European countries like France/Germany/The Netherlands)
just got stung with a fake controller it has alot of the same issues as that controller, wont sync only works if its pluged in then it wont light up which player it is. so i sent an email to the guy and he said press the reset button when its pluged into the usb cable so im like sweet turn it over and where the reset button is is just a damn hole!! lol. oh well. and furthermore my authentic ps3 controller in red in the dark you can see the led through the casing
@foxsux6000 well the good thing is that when america’s economy is on the downturn so is every other country’s, the economy of every country depends on america, even countries like north korea, cuba, and iran
@rockinrondogg nope americans do it to themselves, cheap bastards…
Thats a Good ass fake i must admit
@TheWASTELANDWARRIOR caramba ? haha ha gracioso lol
if you buy a red one the light still shines through,just saying
caramba,controle de ps3 falsi;era so o que faltava putz!
the fake controllers explode?? :O
well.. the fake controller i have bought sucked my cock when i won that game.. i’ll keep it..
Actually, the light shines through my legit red ps3 controller
@Sandor159 we didn’t win cuz of all the other pussy countries saying it’s wrong to blow up a mosque even if there’s 1000 sand niggers shooting at the allied troops from it
@rockinrondogg maybe it was good, if you would have won or something.
@Sandor159 the wars were good, at least those stupid sand niggers were scared of the US when bush was in office, now we got a muslim nigger in office
@rockinrondogg The only reason the us economy sucks is cause your people are dumb as shit. They tend to fuck up everything, next time think before you start a war. Maybe then you will have some money.
all the stupid chinks are ruining the US economy by selling counterfeit shit and then poisoning us with lead laughing their asses off while obama keeps asking them for more money, but honestly if you knowingly buy counterfeit shit from china I hope the controller does explode in your face and kills you
Well its fake, which not only means it might not work, but also, for all you know, there could be freakin’ LEAD on it, and it could poison you. So don’t even touch fake controllers. =/
Thanks for the video. I was just reading on IGN, in a few cases, the fakes have exploded or ignited while being played… Hope there is a better replacement for paypal soon!
3.50 update = everyone’s ps3 in China just shut down.
/care
if you guys have not heard ps3’s new update 3.50 prevents third party controllers to sync with official ps3. so if you have one you are screwed.
but did the fake controller end up working?
that white controller looks sexy
