Beware on ebay.

gar32

Just a warning on ebay about buying controllers. The are going for half price but its a standered controller but battery does not charge. It advertise that it comes with cable but when it came it would not hold power for wirless use. Its very new looking and does work with cable (2m) Just not long enough for use on my sofa. Its a seller from Manchester. Power sell but read feed back as few people now ripped off & not happy.

Happy gaming

I just ordered one from the US, hope its ok.
I was going to buy one through eBay from a guy based in greystones, but when I emailed a question to him, he never replied, something smelled off so I left it be.

There's so much scamming and fakes doing the rounds on ebay now. When is the Dualshock out here or the US anyway?

I had a look and these aren't official controllers. They are knock-offs.
Its says nowhere thats its wireless or bluetooth compatible. It has no internal battery, its just a PS2 controller in PS3 case with detachable cord.

You didn't get ripped off, you looked at the pics and presumed it would be OK.

Caveat emptor

ya can tell a mile off from the pic that its not n official control, look at how big the select and start writing is and the and anyone notice on the last pick where it shows the cable going in that the d pad and the four buttons are on the opposite sides

to be fair, the price gives it away. I wouldnt call this person a scammer, such a cheap controller that looks reasonably different from the official one should raise a few eyebrows. It would be nice if he had made it clear that it was unofficial, but I dont think this is particularly bad
