My PS2 Analogue controller is going all screwey.

The analogue mode keeps switching on and off by itself, it is an official controller and isnt even a year old.

So has this happened to anyone else?

When I had a PS2, the controller kept pressing buttons for me... meaning that my overdrive would fire in rez when no one was onscreen... hmmm... just ring sony (number in the manual) and they'll replace it.

Yea thats the same with me. Most of the time it cuts out during GTA3.

Hey, me too!

And it also happened recently with MGS2, usually at the most annoying of moments. At first I thought it was a loose connection to the console, but repeated occurences of the same fault must mean a stranger problem at heart. Maybe a ghost within the PS2s?

I have had three problemo's with me controller.

In State Of Emergeny it kept switching the map on every time I tried to fire a bazooka on one of my controllers, and on MGS2 sometimes the controls went weird on the first person view.

Also the Analogue kept switching off. So I opened it up and a wire was lose and needed soldering back on.

Also the shoulder buttons keep getting stuck in and a few have gone crack and something has broken off them. They work ok but my controller sounds like a meracha (sp?)
