I'm thinking about getting a stick as well as lately I've noticed sometimes it's as if the regular ps3 controller decided to ignore me when I need it most...
On another note I've noticed that I've been able to get into match sessions that are outside of the US with ease, but whenever I tried to enter one stateside I'd get a "unable to join session" message.
I have no clue as to why it's like that; any one have any ideas..?
