Switch joycon situation is worse.
You get free replacements regardless of warranty
I guess, but I currently have 3 sets of joycons going through this replacement process right now.
PSVR2, you cannot buy replacement parts. There are a number of flimsy parts on this device, bits of plastic that can deform. Once that happens you are out of luck if you aren’t within the warranty.
sonys ‘replacement culture’ goes way back. remember vaio? shittiest ‘high end’ machines ever . terrible, almost non-existent support.
in my experience it was expensive crapware purchased exclusively by rich people who didnt want to jump into the apple ecosystem.
Can confirm, received my dad’s old VAIO when I was a child. Got it to barely run WoW (item bag icons would replace the floor textures).
All three of my dual sense controllers have stick drift , I managed to fix 2 of them by taking apart and cleaning them . The third one I’m in the process of replacing the potentiometer just haven’t had time to finish it yet . Barely had these issues on my older controllers that got so much more use.
This is why I exclusively use thrustmaster controllers. Joysticks are modular and cost 15-20 bucks to replace.
