The system doesn’t boot up fast enough to pair with the controllers. If I start it using the power button on the console and wait until it’s booted to activate the controller with the PS button, everything is OK. If I start the system using the controller, the lights on the controller flash until I either reset it using a small tool or physically connect it to the system with a USB cable for a second. The design and the concept of playstation 3 is very bad. Its the worst console ever. Xbox 360 is far far better than this console. The remote controller of the ps3 is very bad too. Its not worth buying.
