Plugged it in, the lights flash and none of the buttons function. Read online that after Sony released a firmware update for the PS3, these fight sticks became incompatible. Nice of Amazon to keep selling them though. Returning mine and trying again with something different.

The second I placed the order for this arcade stick, I read in a review that this no longer works with PS3's with the latest firmware installed. It was too late to cancel the order so now I'm returning it. Much like a previous reviewer, I'm wondering why Amazon is still selling this product. Also, I happened to pick up another arcade stick since this one doesn't work and happened to notice that the quality of this thing is also pretty low compared to others out there.

This stick is an inexpensive but fairly well built arcade style controller that's almost perfect for fighting games. Turbo works as advertised. Macro works, but is not terribly useful, since the move has to be re-entered every time you turn the PS3 off. If you can pull off the move that many times, you can just pull it off in-game.

Note that since you'll naturally be pulling the buttons towards you when you push them down, the paint at the bottom will start to flake off- my X button already has signs of wear after one day.

Depending on how far away you sit, you might also want a USB extension cord. The cord on the joystick is only about 6 feet.
