I figured this is more tech help related than game related.
Every few days my Dualshock 3 controller lags considerably on my PS3. It occurs in the XMB, Pixel Junk Monsters, Resistance, Mirror's Edge, etc...
Does anybody know whats going on or how to fix it? I have tried searching the PS3 forums, but no luck.
80gb PS3. Bought brand new last September. Also new controller, 1 month old. Problems occur with both controllers.
The controller will stop responding, or take 3-5 seconds to respond, or scroll through an entire menu with one down button press. Things of this nature.
If I turn the controller off and back on again, it often doesn't sync. This happens with multiple controllers at once. And also keeps happening if I switch controllers. Restarting the system helps a little bit, but it doesn't fix it enough to actually play a game.
When this occurs there is no other bluetooth interference (ie from computers or other devices).
I think its a problem with the bluetooth signal or the PS3 itself because it affects multiple controllers. Thats all I have figured out.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Can anybody help?

Well, I know this may sound stupid, but is it charged? Mine does do that, but only when it's extremely low. Other than that, none at all. Have you called up the help hotline?
Maybe you should borrow a friend's controller and see how it works out. I'm sorry if I'm not too big of a help!
Good luck!
