   Bad controller? 1 2

   My controller has developed a mind of its own. Admittedly I do have trouble sometimes that is completely my fault, so I thought it was just that. But I have been having trouble with what seems like buttons being pushed by themselves, when my fingers are nowhere near them. It only happens when I'm in a vehicle. It goes to change the radio, or fire the SMG, or often makes me bail out of the vehicle while its moving. Has anyone else had a controller go bad and act this way? Is it time for a new controller? EDIT: I have tried corded and wireless, same problems.

   Enjoy federal "pound-you-in-the-ass" prison. You fucked up this time. You twats are too stupid for your own good. I hope they perp-walk you in front of the cameras so we all get to make memes out of your pics and turn you into the next joke-of-the-week on the web. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/playstation-hackers-divert-plane-carrying-the-president-95763492139.html My recommendation is decide whether you like tropical heat or sub-arctic cold because your two options are Cuba and North Korea if you really think you won't be found.

   Assuming it's down for everyone due to a ddos attack http://www.shacknews.com/article/85951/blizzard-playstation-network-and-more-under-wide-ddos-attack I seen this posted in the shoutbox but figured a thread would help coming on for the first time today as things get shuffled in the shoutbox. Post when you get PSN access please to let all know it is back online.

    DO you pay for PS Plus? Was it worth it? I not sure if I am still a + member or not, I did pay for it a couple times but it wasn't worth it to me as I am only playing one game, I have little interest in other games. I did download a few free things but overall not worth it to me.

    I don't have a PS4 yet, I will be getting one before the end of the year (probably in time for the next FIFA). Not that many releases have really caught my eye and I've been happy with the PS3 but there's no denying it's a great console. Do you have a PS4, maybe intend to get one or are you also happy with PS3? If you are a PS4 owner, how often do you use it and which games do you play?

    I got a PS3 control made by powerA and the model is pro elite. The right analog stick sticks at times and the trigger springs are too stiff, but mainly I wanted a 360 reverse analog sticks on it, I was wondering if there is anything better offeredout there than the precise Sony original one?

    What was your first PS1, 2, or 3? DO you remember you first game for it? I am old enough I got the PS1 when it first came out and I get Destruction Derby with it, I also played the first GTA and never again played another GTA until 5 came out. I have only had my PS3 for about 2 1/2 years, I was quite happy with my PS2. Still got loads of PS2 games and a few PS1's floating around.

    PS3/PS4 & Keyboards

    Hey guys, Just thought I'd ask this question because I can't find any accessory information for what I'm looking for from Best Buy. I'm not a huge fan of typing out PSN messages and GTA V messages with the PS3/PS4 controllers that I currently own. It takes far to long and it's a huge pain in the ass I find.. I use to own an Xbox 360 way back when and I know you were able to purchase a mini-keyboard that you could use for Xbox LIVE conversations to make things easier.. I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find an official Sony keyboard that is compatible with the PS3 and the PS4, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm wanting a keyboard, ideally, a wireless one…

    I have been thinking of getting one of these for a few months since testing it but as with other handheld games consoles - how much would I actually play it? The specs are pretty awesome. The Nvidia Shield 2 is rumored to be due for release soon so I'm hoping to grab myself a good deal before that comes. Anyone else been interested in, own or tested one of these?

    I do not know who has these but if anyone does or if you get one let me know so we can edit 2 points of view into one video. Mine a the Elgato HD, it is HDMI and if you are looking for one it works well but not like I thought it would. It seems it is true HD but only for XBox. Something about the PS3 HD encoding that Sony doesn't allow to be recorded forces capture user to go the a/v method. Wanted you to know that before you go get one with false ideas like I had, had I known that I could have gotten a cheaper a/v one rather than the HD. Plus if you have it hooked up you have to have your computer on or the PS won't display a picture on the TV. It's really kind o…
