DualShock 3 Wireless Controller – Red

BUYER BEWARE!!!! My wife purchased a 40GB model PS3 that included the Sixaxis controller for $399. 99,on July 10, 2008 for my Birthday. She also purchased the Dual Shock controller for me as well, being that that model did not come with it. She then also purchased a 2. 5″ 5400RPM 80GB hard drive to replace the smaller 40GB Hard drive in the PS3. When I recieved the PS3 and accessories on July 14, 2008, I looked at Amazon’s website to find that that model had been discontinued and the new model had an 80GB Hard Drive and Dual Shock Controller included for the same price of $399. 99. So I was taken advantage of by selling the older model for the newer model price and making me pay 109. 98 extra for the upgrades. I have no use for the older controller and the old hard drive will not work in anything other than a PS3, so it is useless as well. Everytime I have tried to resolve the issue over the phone with Amazon, they leave me on hold and eventually hang up on me. I have now just sent E-mail detailing the situation and am now leaving these reviews up for all of the customers like you to be aware of what kind of tactics they are trying to pull. These older 40GB models of PS3 can be sent back to the manufacturer by Amazon for a credit, yet they still pawned it off on me!?!?! Amazon is usually a pretty oggod company as far as customer service is concerned, so I am hoping that this is just one that fell through the crack and one that they will remedy when all you guys read this and they get my E-mail. It is now December 17,2008 and still trying, will keep all you potential PS3′ers informed. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!
