hey guys im looking for a cheap alternative as a second ps3 controller.

I know most of u will recommend another DS3, but its too damn pricey.

Wonder if anyone of u have tried Logitech's Dual Action Gamepad with PS3. (i know its meant for PC, but heck, its cheap.. )

Any luck? Don't mind if its wired or vibration-less. Just need a second controller for backup.

the cheapest solution for me is to use my old trusty DS2 + convertor

Well still sounds like a good alternative to me.. compared to RM199 (cheapest RM160) DS3.

For me, im just getting it as a backup and for friends if they come over during parties. Mostly i'll be using my DS3 only..

mind to share where u got the chillstream from? got rumble feature?

it has no rumble feature, i got it from yes-asia sale IIRC, my point is most USB controllers (even though they don't have PS/XMB button) can be auto-recognized by PS3 and have high compatibility rate with its games.

again, rmb some games will have problems recognizing generic USB controllers, or all the buttons configuration will be messed up.

interesting to see that the Official Slim in Indo, Thailand, Vietnam - same with MY is also from SGP model - 06

while Official Slim in Philippines is follow HK model - 12

kisau mode on : i guess us "small" game markets don't deserve our own model number
