Pay your stumpy dues.

Sinister.  Sony’s latest PS3 update now causes some third party joypads to stop working, presumably as an answer to the USB mod that allows you to pirate a bunch of games that you’ll never play anyway.  That’s not a huge worry as the majority of third party controllers are literally horrific.

But there’s more.  Sony’s own Consumer Alert says “It is possible that some counterfeit product may ignite or explode, resulting in injury or damage to the user, your PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, or other property.”

Ignite or explode?  We don’t want to see what happens if you plug a Poundland Move controller in.  Cats and dogs living together presumably.
