Cleaning the sticky PlayStation controller analogue thumb sticks
I've not touched my PS3 for a while and so the controller has been sitting behind the TV gathering dust so it was a surprise to me when I took it out that both of the analogue thumb sticks were really sticky. I've not spilled anything on the controller and it was always kept in a good clean condition. After some searching around it appears that this happens to quite a few people.

PlayStation 3 4.75 software finally makes the R2/L2 buttons work on a PS4 controller
I've written previously how a PS4 controller can be used with a PS3. That had some limitations, notably the R2/L2 buttons were not working at the time and the PS button would not allow you to switch the PS3 off. Well one of those have been addressed in this update.

Using a PS4 controller with a PS3
I still don't have a PS4 but I needed another PS3 controller, so I had the idea of using the PS4 controller with my PS3. Doing a bit of research online reveals it is possible with some limitations. Overall, that is true, the limitations are quite severe at this point in time, but it looks like Sony is making it easier to use the new controllers with the recent playstation system updates.
