"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?

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.

How often do u break stuff?

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

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!

dont be sorry because your right and hes wrong. you have to phone them and they arange to have it picked up (they dont do it specially but i think there are a few sony vans in each city which do there work). so a guy just comes-u give him your pads and fill out a form and thats it,itll be done in a secound. but youll have to wait a while sometimes for your new ones.

Damn u Wookiee.Another sharp comment.And I cant come back from that.

:)

Anyway if I wanted to please myself in that weird way(which I wouldnt do) Id choose something else.Wouldnt want to give up playing GT now would we

I would'nt like to know!

HAHAHA :)

Was that by accident, or for some perverse pleasure?
