Picture from Fake controllers zapped by update

Sony has been quietly waging war with manufacturers of unlicensed PS3 controllers for some time now. With the deployment of new firmware version 3.50, the war could be over, but not without taking some unintentional casualties. The new system update identifies and disables counterfeit controllers, but three old Mad Catz peripherals have also been victimized. These include the company’s PS3 GamePad (wired and wireless models built before 2008), and the now-unavailable PS3 Wireless MicroCon. All other MadCatz products should still work with updated PS3s, according to company spokesman Alex Verrey.
