[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 111592, member: 396"] The DS4 feels nice, much more precise in all the controls than my OG Motion Controller. The plunger problem where if you pull the plunger back before the ball settles, the plunger doesn't hit the ball forward when released, still occurs with the DS4 on the PS3. Flipper lag is still present, too. Sometimes in the menus the control freaks out and acts like its doing everything rapid fire--scrolling the menu (only sometimes when using the D-pad; never had it happen when using the analog stick), or pressing a button (so for instance it'll skip right from the main menu and auto-select whatever table is up on the table select menu). This is inconvenient but doesn't happen all the time so I'm not quite sure what triggers it. I had the same thing happen in the past when I tried using my Real Arcade Pro digital stick in the game menus. I couldn't get the DS4 to work wirelessly on the PS3 (and it isn't compatible with the usual PS3 controller USB cable, you have to use a standard USB-to-micro-USB cable). Also couldn't get the DS4's audio-out to work on the PS3, which makes sense anyway since on the PS4 it's something you have to activate in a menu. ~~~~~~~ The HDMI audio extractor I ordered ([url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AHS8LD8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]ViewHD Premium HDMI to HDMI + Audio (sPDIF + RAC L/R) Audio Extractor | Converter (New 2013 Model)[/url]) also arrived, and that worked great on the PS3 (even when I checked every box in the HDMI audio output type menu ; )--and I'd swear the audio sounds much sharper now than when I was using the old analog out via the component cable), so I expect it should work fine on the PS4 as well. Update: Aha, when I tried a 5.1 movie on Netflix, I got no sound, so I had to uncheck the 5.1 boxes, duh (my speaker setup is not 5.1). ; ) [/QUOTE]
