hey guys i got a new DS3 through the mail today - which is my first second controller, but its an upgrade from my original, how do I go about making it my primary (1) and my original the secondary (2)?

never done it before :p
cheers
 
Hold down the old pad's button, switch the pad off, turn the new one on and it'll connect as player one. Then turn on the old pad.
 
I thought if you turned the console on with the controller that would be the first assigned controller, simple.

I have a number of DS3 controllers, and the one I pick up first, is the one that is assigned as the first primary controller once I press the PS button to turn the console on.

Easy....
 
The controller number isn't fixed - they get assigned based on the order you turn the controllers on each time you use the console.

As said the controllers aren't numbered, the first you turn on is 1, the 2nd is 2 etc.

True on both counts as I just had a new DS3 through and all I did was plugged it into the console (you have to sync it first anyway), turned on the console and when it had booted up I just pressed the PS button on the controller and presto the controller 1 light on the controller lit up.
 
Like said, either just turn it on first or if you got both controllers on you can hold the PS button and change the numbers of the controller there :)
