I started playing MGS3 Subsistence on my 60gigger today, and I'm having a big problem. My square button (for guns) doesn't have very good analog sensing. I can only let off of the button lightly about 1/10 of the time. So I end up shooting when I don't want to. My O button is a little bit better, but not by much. When I press the triangle button during cutscenes to zoom in, it always snaps and zooms about halfway in initially, and then I have to very, very lightly let off to zoom back out.
I like the PS3 buttons because they're very snappy. They're great for action games and fighting games. I didn't like the PS2 buttons because they were mushy and set a little bit too low. But now I can't play MGS because I don't get proper analog detection. Am I the only one?

I have the same problem in MGS3, but I also encountered it with my PS2 controller. I just had to train my big, greasy mitts to be more delicate with the buttons.

MGS3's pressure controls are VERY sensitive. I don't know how many throats I slit accidentally.

But I never had this problem with guns on MGS2 or 3 on the PS2.
I think it's the snappiness that causes the gun to fire. It senses the button being released at too fast a speed to not shoot.

My face buttons work fine, but the dead zone of all Sony analog sticks still upsets me.

My analog sticks have been acting funny the past couple of days. I've been playing R&C: Future and at random Ratchet will start running in circles and I have zero control over him.
I have to click both analogs repeatedly to regain control. Anyone else have that issue? Should I call about a replacement?

Yea, I have the same problem with one of my controllers, kinda sucks when ur in a firefight and all of a sudden ur spining in circles. Throws ur opponents off tho. But if its still under warrenty u should get it switched, it can only get worse.

Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one.
So does anyone have the Sony # handy?
