Does your wireless Sixaxis controller unpause the game for you?

[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 43401, member: 396"] Maybe it's just me and all the PS3s and Sixaxis (the ones without force feedback are the only ones I've used on PS3) controllers I've had, but it seems like when they're unplugged and running wirelessly, they sometimes press the Triangle button all on their own. Naturally this can cause funky behavior from time to time in some games; in TPA, it usually isn't that bad as it just toggles the DMD display off :P, but it can be a problem for pausing the game, because in TPA for some reason Triangle closes the pause menu and resumes the game--which means there's a decent chance I'll come back and find my ball drained if I left the game on pause and forgot to plug the controller in before walking off. Am I the only one whose Sixaxes do this? It seems like a weird hardware glitch they'd have corrected by now if it happened to everyone, but I've had two PS3s--different models--and like six Sixaxis controllers. Hm maybe it's Bluetooth interference in my area somehow? Well if it isn't just me I guess it might be worth asking Farsight if they could not have Triangle resume the game, so it could actually be paused safely on this silly system. :P [/QUOTE]
