Just opened my brand new copy for PS3, and there's a problem with my controller.

It's almost as if it isn't calibrated or connected properly or something. If I try to strum down, the guitar strums UP, and holds it. If I strum up, no problem... works perfect. I've reset the console and reconnected the guitar. What's wrong here?

Really frustrating to FINALLY find a copy of GH3, drive for 45 minutes to get it, and have this problem.

after about 2 months of owning mine... it all of a sudden went berserk and when i turned the game on, it just continually strummed up until i strummed down to "cancel" it, and then the down never worked after that... only up...
i had to go and exchange it for another one...

but actually, that was for my GH 2 controller on xbox 360

That is the EXACT problem I had with mine upon first taking it out of the box. I did a little reading, and it seems that it's a pretty common problem. I just brought it back and the new one is perfect.

weird...
im just glad i was able to exchange it... although it wasnt easy... best buy gave me the whole "only 30 days, bla bla bla"...

so i lied and said it was a christmas gift, and that it was just bought very early, in october... and they said they would do it for me this time...

otherwise i would have been out the cost of another guitar after only 2 months...
