sorry to revive this thread but i have a question. im in a fraternity and i live with 35 other people. theres gotta be at least 8 ps3's in the house i live in. my controller has gotten mixed up with others numerous times. i have one for my ps3 but i don't think its the same one that came with mine. ive been trying to track down my controller that came with my system. i bought my ps3 back in february of this year 2009, and it has model number CECHL01. the controller i have now (model # CECHZC2U) is a shiny black color and i could have sworn the controller that came with my system was more of a matte black color. did the newer systems come with a controller in a matte black color? or do all controllers come in the shiny black? does the model number on the controller match up with the model number on the system? is there a way i can tell that a certain controller belongs to my system?
thanks
