"Dual shock 2 problem"

The rubber tops of my Dual Shock 2 pad anolog sticks have started to spin. This has happened on both of my pads and sometimes can be quite annoying when your thumb slips off on GT3 when taking a corner to suddenly carrier into a wall.
This has only started to happen though since I got GT3, so does this mean i have been over playing or pressing down on the sticks too hard. Has anyone else got this problem? and can i get them replaced?

This happened to my Dual Shock. I phoned Sony and they just replaced it and said I didn't need to send back the old pad!
So now I have two Dual Shocks, they both work, just that now sometimes player two loses 'cos of the rubber grip slipping off!

noway! you get to keep your old stuff? theres this bald guy from sony who collects my stuff when i break it.

How often do u break stuff?

Ye how often do you break stuff? Anyway thanks for your help. I have left it a little late to call them so i will ring them tommorow, ill let you know if i have to send them off, have them picked up or hopefully keep them as they both work still.

My original analog stick did this, but I found that was just unscrewed. I attached an electric drill to it, span it round loads and it fixed itself.

i never use the analogue, the d-pad gives much better control.

huh anyway, analogues wearing down? and once somebody said the 64s stick was cheap.

They don't wear down, he's just broken it.

How can you say the D-pad gives more control? That's nuts!

maybe it just me but i find it much easier with the d-pad. i really never use the analogue if it posilbe on most games.

i can feel some free pads coming on

The N64 stick IS cheap. The Sony analogue sticks are far superior and I'm not just saying that because I've got a PS2. I had an N64, I was a "die hard ninty" but even I have to admit, the N64 stick was complete pants. You had to be soooo careful with it not to break it.

I was REAL careful with mine, they stayed fine and then a couple of my littlte brothers friends had a go. They were only marginally less careful and PING broken!!!!

N64 pads suck!
