I feel like an idiot, but I didn't even think to do that >.< I'll look up a guide now! (02-19-2009, 08:40 PM)Shoopfox link Wrote: Why are controllers this generation so expensive? No clue. I really doubt that the DS3 is that much fancier then the $20 2's they used to make :/ Sixaxis doesn't cost them an extra $30. ![]() ![]()
