So does anyone know if Sony plan to do some kind of trade in discount for your old pad. Or is the bay gonna be flooded with people trying to get rid of their old six axis?
I doubt it, at the moment it is advertised as an alternative to the sixaxis, not a replacement. Same as when the PS1 got a dual shock half way through it's life. The 2 controllers co-existed for a long time. (I think eventually the dual shock came in the standard PS1 bundle).
That's how bad the pads are... people are willing to pay THAT much for a little bit of improvement.
What absolute tosh!! People are paying over the odds for them because they are new, and limited supply. Same with anything new. Sometimes it does amaze me how little people on these forums seem to understand about business, I can only think it is their passion for their games/consoles that blur their judgement.
Most people have no problems with the controller. The only difference they are expecting is the rumble. I guess you are referring to the dead zones that Sony have said they have "tweaked", but again, most people outside of internet gaming forums do not care or know much about this.
Presumably seeing as you care so much about how bad the pad is you will be splashing out on the new controller?

Six Axis's are 29.99 or less on most websites, the same as the wireless 360 and the same price the dual shock will be when its released here (and Six Axis is inevitably phased out).
The old pad is not flawed, it functions perfectly fine.
