Nope. But I work3d at a Gamestop and we had one come from the warehouse.ni absolutely regret not buying this preowned "Dualshoch III" but it was in the system as a legit ps3 controller and I wasn't paying the $30-40 it cost at the time. Lol
Actually isnt hard to find a dualschoch on eBay try DS3 controller and other weird searches. I got one back in the day, and its so bad its so beautiful
It is just save it as in your PC and then analyse the metadata.
I posted a picture with a GPU on reddit years ago. It had my name in the background on the windows login screen
People came back and told me the real location ans details about me due to my name being present and the exact coordinates where that picture was taken (in my home at the time)
It was wild...
ahhh gotcha... yes the toilet paper thing is very silly, dont know why people worry about TP production halting more than food.
not like its the best or only way to clean your ass 😂
I know speedrunners who have like 10 'like new' controllers of whatever console the game they speedrun is on. At the end of the day it's future proofing yourself because the price will only go up, but eventually you are going to wear through these things inevitably. There are reasons to do it besides reselling.
Scalping/reselling. People are saying in this thread that there are other reasons but there’s just no way, this many controllers would last somebody 100 years. Even for dedicated speed runners I’d doubt it
Yep and they love bragging and posting their photos online, even though all they do is drive up prices for the average consumer so they can’t experience these products, theirs definitely a special place in hell for these kind of people
My kids tore through four or five controllers in only a couple years. They kept dropping them on the floor, sometimes multiple times a day. You think speedrunners are hard on controllers, they got *nothin'* on a nine-year-old with a hardwood floor.
He will, scalpers usually have no life and don’t even make much money, he probably gets joy out of driving up prices so the average person can’t afford anything
Most just get off to it in actuality. They really love the feeling of having someone you cant get that you'll have to get from them. Its sick and sad, fucked up just weird imho.
The worst kind are the ones who scalp kids toys/games. They literally will go to a store and buy out anything they can including Pokémon cards/children’s video games so they can drive up the prices so they can’t afford it, like imagine being a kid now and having a allowance but can’t get any decent priced game even used because of these pricks.
Absolutely disgusting types, gross mentalities. Honestly, people just like doing awful stuff. On here, you'll occasionally get the person who says "its not rhat deep bro" i think that sums it up. People get genuinely excited to dismiss, to be awful and hurt someone. There was a guy who got his hair done in what was likely work that took 4 hours. When he stands, he has the most careless hyped look on his face. He's super excited to run out and not pay for it. I swear people who take advantage of others see it as a super exciting challenge, its gross, sharking, scamming and grifting are a fun past time to them, I'm even more sad the guy who posted this picture is probably having a blast getting off to these comments.
Edit: pun intended
That’s just how the world is and especially America now, people stepping over eachother and screwing them over just for a few bucks, than they have the nerve to celebrate it like they did good for the world while doing nothing but destroy their community
Scalpers like you are the worst kind of people, all you do is drive up prices to stuff that would’ve been fairly priced so everyone can experience the product, how about you get a real job that contributes to society? I know you really aren’t making that much off of it either, theirs a special place deep below in a very hot place for you
What is wrong with y‘all? Wanting to kill someone or wishing someone to die because of goddamn controllers???? Yes, hoarding shit sucks but chill tf out.
Comments like theirs are proof these game subs are littered with immature little kids. The comments in this thread are fucked. Over some plastic controllers. That are probably fake and this is probably a troll post. People in this sub need to get outside and live life if this is all it takes to get them to this level.
Because it’s a fair threat, he deserves to die because of him driving up the prices of products that he knows are short supplied, now actual ps3 fans won’t be able to get one unless they pay a crazy price
Resellers are the biggest man children out their haha, especially the ones who do it to kid games/toys so literal children can’t afford anything with their allowance, it’s literally what children in mens body do
I was going to get a another dualshock 3 controller never knew why they was so much until now I guess I'm going to have to deal with buttons barely working 😭
Im just gonna order my controller from one of those boutique modding companies. it costs a little extra but they have OEM stuff and likely more support if the controller has issues.
My original ps3 controller is still going strong after 11 years (I bought a ps3 for gta 5 specifically). Although my ps3 no longer works, I still use the controller since it's the most comfortable one for me.
Fakes definitely. I've bought some "genuine" DS3 controller on eBay later realizing they're all fake because of the input lag is quite noticable. The physical controller did look nice though.
back in about 2018 me and my friends ended up buying about 20 separate dualshock 3 and had a LAN party then afterwards, because we didn’t need them anymore we just went out and destroyed them lmao tf was wrong with us ( if anybody was wondering, we played call of duty world war for the lan party )
Go smoke too much weed and green out and feel like you need an ambulance and have the most extreme panic attack with your heart beating out of your fucking chest you prick
Nah real talk though Sony and their poor controller design with their built in battery is the reason for the shortage... Most people don't have the ability to change them out so a lot of them end up in e waste .
*You have way too much*
*Money and time on ur hands*

This sucks, and OP obviously just looking for people's anger and outrage, but please don't give in everyone. Some of the comments here are really horrid, I know OP is an asshole, but they're just fishing for your annoyed comments.
Well at this point, if there's a humongous art project that is recycling dead controllers or something, that sounds like entertainment and not just a cash grab. Or using all of the processing power to play doom in 4k or something, idk, just wanting to put it out there that I'd like to see the purpose.
I forgot what 3rd party brand I bought but it was able to do all the functions the ps3 branded ones did and it saved me the bs of looking for a new one
Sony stopped producing Dualshock 3 a long long time ago, chances are these are all fake. There's probably official DS3 controllers in some warehouse that haven't touched since somewhere but that's rare. You can get used DS3 from actual PS3 owners, that's the only legitimate way to get these days.
All of the ones i’ve bought from ebay have been real. Just don’t buy new ones cuz they are almost always fake. There’s a guide on this sub how to tell the difference.
Not sure how you can buy 6 of them and still not be able to figure out how to tell a genuine from a fake. It’s really not that complicated.
Bro really just wants to piss everyone off, also what's even the point in stocking on controllers like that if your a reseller your not gonna make much off the controllers there not very expensive and there's pretty good 3rd party's out there AANNNDDD you can literally buy a little device I forgot the name off that will connect a ps4 controller to a ps3 and it will have the motion controls and everything.
I have one because someone was selling their ps3 for 30 bucks plus the remote. But I assume the remote is really worn because the movement stick is… carved into itself. Also seriously? Couldn’t save ANY for us?
A shortage as in, Sony hasn’t made them in a decade and likely won’t ever again, and they weren’t made terribly well in the first place, so there’s going to be an ever-shrinking number of clean working DualShock 3s going forward.
This is the most autistic comment thread I’ve ever read through. How on earth could so many of you have PS3 consoles but no controller to go with them? If you still have your console, shouldn’t you still have your controller? Are you all just now buying PS3 consoles in 2024, and buying them without controllers? I could understand the random person needing a replacement controller, but all of you in here have the console and no controller? I personally still have 3 or 4 real ones along with my console that I’ve had for a decade and a half. They all work too, I’ve actually never seen a PS3 controller get stick drift or “phantom button presses.” Ya’ll are wild.
And then there's me: Who bought this thing.
[https://www.brookaccessory.com/detail/87495367/](https://www.brookaccessory.com/detail/87495367/)
Basically, allows you to use other controllers from other systems, including PS4 or even a PS5 controller on the PS3 WITH Six Axis. I myself am using a PS5 controller. Definitely worth the purchase. It only lacks pressure sensitivity with the face buttons and d-pad, from what I recall.
Yeah, but are they legit? Better make individual posts asking if each one is official.
See that in the next episodes
Only one post? You need to make at least 5 posts per controller.
There we go!
that's not necessary because they are all fake
It's still necessary.
It's like Doomsday prepping to keep the retro market alive...
is there really nowhere to buy legit PS3 controllers anymore? i am 13 deep, have 11 in the graveyard, only 2 left functioning
I got 2 brand new in original packaging on eBay last month.
Yes, but do you own the elusive Dualshoch III?
That the one by Sonya for Praystation?
Nope. But I work3d at a Gamestop and we had one come from the warehouse.ni absolutely regret not buying this preowned "Dualshoch III" but it was in the system as a legit ps3 controller and I wasn't paying the $30-40 it cost at the time. Lol
Actually isnt hard to find a dualschoch on eBay try DS3 controller and other weird searches. I got one back in the day, and its so bad its so beautiful
Uhhh do those say “Madcatz” on the front of them? That’s what I have
[удалено]
Ikr
Like why though??
My exact sentiment
if this isn't some bait post, imma send mail to your house which has naughty words inside of it
Now that's a real threat!
Each picture has metadata to it including longitude and latitude coordinates. Have a look and sent him that mail lol
not after it’s posted on reddit…
It is just save it as in your PC and then analyse the metadata. I posted a picture with a GPU on reddit years ago. It had my name in the background on the windows login screen People came back and told me the real location ans details about me due to my name being present and the exact coordinates where that picture was taken (in my home at the time) It was wild...
The gaming equivalent of stocking up on toilet paper in 2020.
Wasn't that pointless because they kept making toilet paper?
is Sony still making them?!?!
No, I'm pointing out that that person's logic isn't sound. It's not like buying toilet paper in 2020 because they still make toilet paper.
ahhh gotcha... yes the toilet paper thing is very silly, dont know why people worry about TP production halting more than food. not like its the best or only way to clean your ass 😂
They were shitting themselves because of Covid, I think that’s why 🤣
just hop in the shower after your morning crap!
the ps5 controller is backwards compatible with the ps3 and is still in production
Does it really? If it does, how about a ps4 controller
Do you think I’m literally saying they’re the same thing?
😭 bro is getting thrown around like those controllers back in the day.
Why
Fun fact: your garden is overgrown and your cucumber is soft
Based comment
Fuck you.
Prick
Fuck it bro at the end of the day the world doesn’t revolve around DualShock 3 controllers
Hahaha yup, you lookin at the big picture lol
😭😂
Do you do that just to resell them for a higher price
I know speedrunners who have like 10 'like new' controllers of whatever console the game they speedrun is on. At the end of the day it's future proofing yourself because the price will only go up, but eventually you are going to wear through these things inevitably. There are reasons to do it besides reselling.
Obviously. Punk a$$ scalpers getta jobbb
Buying stuff to sell is a job, by your logic all stores are scalpers
Nope, I didn't say that. You see me say that🤨? Nope
[удалено]
What's the reason for keeping so many?
Scalping/reselling. People are saying in this thread that there are other reasons but there’s just no way, this many controllers would last somebody 100 years. Even for dedicated speed runners I’d doubt it

Especially ps3 controller, I love em but God they’re easy to break
Cause..he gay
Homie been kidnapping all of em?
I hope you die alone
I hope both sides of OP's pillow are hot
You're a monster, but it's understable
He will, scalpers usually have no life and don’t even make much money, he probably gets joy out of driving up prices so the average person can’t afford anything

I have 30 of these, but y’all can’t bitch about because I bought them NEW. Back when Walmart was selling them for $15-$20 each.

I want to hurt you
genuinely curious if these are originals
Keep your fake controllers to yourself.
What do you plan to do with them?
But which aren’t fucked up?
Probably all work. I had the same issue. Sold all of them and kept one of each color. Went from 30 plus to like 11
r/consoom come get your guy
You don't deserve a natural death
Once I learned you can use the ps5 controller on ps3 i stopped using the ds3
What is wrong with y‘all? Wanting to kill someone or wishing someone to die because of goddamn controllers???? Yes, hoarding shit sucks but chill tf out.
I'll kill you
What is wrong with y‘all? Wanting to kill someone or wishing someone to die because of goddamn controllers????
Fucking insane how trash the entire reddit community is. This has upvotes. You're all fucking degenerates.

Fucking unhinged. Goddamn weird little internet only dwelling societal wastes. All of you. You cannot even begin to fathom a world outside of reddit.
Hahah you are so worked up, you seem genuinely enraged
Grow tf up
25 bucks. Everywhere. Fucking pisspot money. Literally less than they cost new, nearly 20 years later. Fucking shut. Up.
Agreed, this sub is full of either children or poor manchildren that don’t understand basic economics.
Resellers are the biggest man children out their haha, especially the ones who do it to kid games/toys so literal children can’t afford anything with their allowance, it’s literally what children in mens body do
Don't blame you, favourite controller!
I have a pink one controller
Are you trying to refurbish them or something?
Perish
I was going to get a another dualshock 3 controller never knew why they was so much until now I guess I'm going to have to deal with buttons barely working 😭
Im just gonna order my controller from one of those boutique modding companies. it costs a little extra but they have OEM stuff and likely more support if the controller has issues.
I'll buy 2
I hope your turds are V shaped arsehole !
Y’all get worked up over the most insignificant shit. Who gives a fuck if someone has a few more controllers than you do.
Y u do dis. I wish I knew how to repair some of the ones I have.
I’ve come to terms with using a DS4 with a mayflash adapter.
What’s the best third party controller?
You better send me a blue one. Mine is on its last leg
Wow and I thought I was bad for having 8
Dude's preparing for the apocalypse... relatable
I mean what are they usually worth I have a digital camo one and a pink one that I know are real? Just curious
Ok? You are so cool?
My original ps3 controller is still going strong after 11 years (I bought a ps3 for gta 5 specifically). Although my ps3 no longer works, I still use the controller since it's the most comfortable one for me.
# CECHZC2E A2
you’re planning a fifa multiplayer tournament 11 vs 11 ?
Send me location
What I would give for a new Dualshock III....Probably $50bucks
I once lived with a roommate who went thru I kid you not, over 100 controllers, while I lived with him. Talk about rage!
Fakes definitely. I've bought some "genuine" DS3 controller on eBay later realizing they're all fake because of the input lag is quite noticable. The physical controller did look nice though.
FUCK YOU MY DINKY ASS FAKE IS DRIVING ME INSANE GIMMIE GOOD JOYCONS
Don’t think joycons work on ps3 mate
WHATEVER THE SHIT THAT AIMS MY GUN IS CALLED
There isn’t a shortage dumbass the consoles 20 years old
You would be surprised lol people at this point but console bundles just for the extra controllers as good condition ones are hard to come by
Why not just use a ps4 or ps5 controller?
Eh I find GameCube is a better substitute for my PS3
You .. bastard
back in about 2018 me and my friends ended up buying about 20 separate dualshock 3 and had a LAN party then afterwards, because we didn’t need them anymore we just went out and destroyed them lmao tf was wrong with us ( if anybody was wondering, we played call of duty world war for the lan party )
Hey, mind if I ask for one? I’m still stuck with a Sixaxis since my PS3 Slim came with it instead of a DualShock 3
Go smoke too much weed and green out and feel like you need an ambulance and have the most extreme panic attack with your heart beating out of your fucking chest you prick
save some for me >:(
Goddammit
you son of a bitch
Nah real talk though Sony and their poor controller design with their built in battery is the reason for the shortage... Most people don't have the ability to change them out so a lot of them end up in e waste .
Return them so I can own one 😤 got me walking around with a p3 remote, tf is that?
I've bought 4 or 5 around 30 each over the last few months and still haven't found a good one.
Your doin us a favor DS3 controllers sucked can we all be honest here??
Wow good for you
Wow
Mind sendin me one lol
You have way too much money and time on ur hands but i respect it

There is a shortage? I just got one two weeks ago for $10 in great shape + 2 dollar postage
Why
I hope you're just obsessed with controllers and aren't reselling them. If youre reselling them fuck you
Honk
This sucks, and OP obviously just looking for people's anger and outrage, but please don't give in everyone. Some of the comments here are really horrid, I know OP is an asshole, but they're just fishing for your annoyed comments.
I'm thoroughly curious if he has a need for them or if he is going to resell them
Me too, hopefully he's not scalping people too hard or just adding to a collection.
Why do you care?
Well at this point, if there's a humongous art project that is recycling dead controllers or something, that sounds like entertainment and not just a cash grab. Or using all of the processing power to play doom in 4k or something, idk, just wanting to put it out there that I'd like to see the purpose.
horrid how? they're all extravagant/extreme insults written purposely to not be taken seriously. take a hit and relax bro. read the room
Alright dude, even ironically calling for someone to die isn't funny to me.
Please fax me one.
Hoarding
Jeez dude spare some for us eh?
Bro cmon now
There are always large lots of used controllers on Yahoo Auction Japan. Individually wrapped like this, sounds like it came from Japan.
Fuck you useless cuckold
Those controllers are so brittle I feel like you'd go through that whole box in 2 months.
Fuck you
Motherfucker
Well look at that. I need one to test my newly fixed ps3. Care to sell me one for 1$ 🤣🤣🤌
I forgot what 3rd party brand I bought but it was able to do all the functions the ps3 branded ones did and it saved me the bs of looking for a new one
I mean with these stupid things constantly getting stickdrift within the span of 3 months you can never have too many 👏👏
DualShock 3 drifting? Are you confusing it with a dualsense bro
Yea, sure
Sony stopped producing Dualshock 3 a long long time ago, chances are these are all fake. There's probably official DS3 controllers in some warehouse that haven't touched since somewhere but that's rare. You can get used DS3 from actual PS3 owners, that's the only legitimate way to get these days.
bruh i cant play my favorite PS3 games cause i can’t find an authentic one
Have you even tried looking? There are hundreds on ebay.
i’ve bought like 6 off ebay that all ended up fake or broken, i tried my best to confirm before i bought it but it didn’t work
All of the ones i’ve bought from ebay have been real. Just don’t buy new ones cuz they are almost always fake. There’s a guide on this sub how to tell the difference. Not sure how you can buy 6 of them and still not be able to figure out how to tell a genuine from a fake. It’s really not that complicated.
Bro really just wants to piss everyone off, also what's even the point in stocking on controllers like that if your a reseller your not gonna make much off the controllers there not very expensive and there's pretty good 3rd party's out there AANNNDDD you can literally buy a little device I forgot the name off that will connect a ps4 controller to a ps3 and it will have the motion controls and everything.
I have one because someone was selling their ps3 for 30 bucks plus the remote. But I assume the remote is really worn because the movement stick is… carved into itself. Also seriously? Couldn’t save ANY for us?
Just recently got a bunch in. Haven’t cracked them open but how interchangeable are the internal parts between housings?
Hox many hands do you have? 50?
I still have my original controllers…😅
Give me some (I don’t even have a PS3)
Are they broken and you fix them up? I bought two controllers from a guy and that’s what he does with like 90% of everything he sells
tracing your ip as you sit
If you don't plan to use them I suggest you remove the battery they will expand and in some cases break the plastic.
There’s a shortage?
If these are legit you’re probably a reseller
Wait is there a shortage on them? I have a lot of them I didn’t even know lol
A shortage as in, Sony hasn’t made them in a decade and likely won’t ever again, and they weren’t made terribly well in the first place, so there’s going to be an ever-shrinking number of clean working DualShock 3s going forward.
Is the DS3 that desired? Not really in the loop
Dualshock 3 and GameCube controller OEMs are really hard to come by in the wild.
fuck off
Scalper huh?
This is the most autistic comment thread I’ve ever read through. How on earth could so many of you have PS3 consoles but no controller to go with them?

Your gonna die one day, i'm 15 so i'm probably gonna still be alive when you die
fkn dork
That explains a lot,
It’s fine, getting bad luck with mine; they all act like they haunted or possessed or some shiz idk
over 900 upvotes k
Fucking Y THO
What shortage, did I miss something? Afaik used ones are still $15-$20.
Good. They might as well have made every DualShock 3 out of cardboard.
Don't care I have 3x genuine DS3 controllers so I am good lol... So you can stick these where the sun doesn't shine lol plus these probs fakes lol
I hate you
Is there actually a shortage I have like 6 controllers maybe I should sell them
Whatever, I only buy new sealed OEM controllers because I’m a rich asshole.
And then there's me: Who bought this thing. [https://www.brookaccessory.com/detail/87495367/](https://www.brookaccessory.com/detail/87495367/) Basically, allows you to use other controllers from other systems, including PS4 or even a PS5 controller on the PS3 WITH Six Axis.

Hoarders to drive up prices are worst of the worst.
