***Not a review of shipping or packaging*** ***Picture only for example purposes***I will say this up front; I am not reviewing the shipping/packaging. I am reviewing the fact that I ordered a new controller which usually comes in its' own case/container , i.e. Sony logos, PS3 box, plastic covering etc.What I received was a controller; nothing else. I am not even sure this is a "real" PS3 controller since it does not look like the one I have for my PS3. It does not have the similar information/placement for model number, barcodes, etc. When I hooked it up to my PS3 it would only operate when attached via charging cable; even after charging for 2 hours.I will continue using the controller but not sure it was worth the price. Buyer beware, maybe Amazon should include an "in the original box/container" for electronic equipment such as this.Again this is not a review of the shipping/packaging; the picture is to show evidence of how I received it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works nicely !
Reviewed in Canada on August 20, 2022
I was anxious for years not knowing why my game was glitching (Franklin in GTA 5 not being able to drive a car, his cell always coming out, walking slowly (slow motion), my PS3 player or my DVD game itself, well it was the joystick! The other 2 I had were making a rattling sound when shaken so they were both broken (being dropped/thrown against the wall countless times, yes I have anger issues, I hate myself for that and I am trying not to get mad when I play GT5 now, a little older at 54). I enjoy playing with just Franklin listening to his rap in a stolen car, smoking his bong , driving mad, hitting pedestrians, stealing their $, going in the gun shop and kill all the cops until I run out of bullets and get shot. Thx Amazon and the seller who sold me the joystick, I deprived myself of playing for so long, the joystick is on top of my piano (I practiced classical for hours, time 2 play GTA 5 !
