PS3 Firmware 3.0 locks out fake controllers

Companies hate knock-offs of their products, especially Sony. The first PS1 was easy as pie to make copied games for, the PS2 got a bit harder, now the PS3 is almost impossible. So knock-off companies have moved onto ripping off accessories. Most notably controllers, well it looks like the new PS3 firmware 3.0 has stopped knock-off controllers in their tracks. Reports of problems with the CECHZC2H Ceramic White DualShock3 controllers were widespread, users had their controllers locked out of their consoles. Sony claimed that the locked out controllers were in fact fakes and not real official Sony products. Is Sony purposely locking out fake controllers? Or is the firmware too much for the cheapy Chinese knock-offs to handle? Stay tuned for anymore news about this and any futher issues with the PS3 firmware 3.0 update.
