So I got a new controller.
It won't sync up with my XB1.
I've tried new batteries. Distance. Holding down the side button on the console. Nothing seems to work.
This kind of sucks. Any ideas?

DualShock controllers only work with the PS4. Incorrect. They work with PC as well. iw5000 you should try connecting your Dualshock to your PC via micro-USB cable; if it still doesn't work you should exchange it.

Isn't there a button on the Xbox one you're supposed to press when you want to sync a controller?
There's also a controller thing in the settings menu. Maybe try going there and connect your controller for an update?

Just for a bit of smart ass... what do the instructions say?

- The print is so small on the instructions, I can't even read it. I'll try it again tomorrow with better light.
- There is a button on the side of the XB1, one is supposed to hold it down while turning it on, while also holding down the controller button. Tried this about five times, to no luck.
- I did look at the settings on the XB1, found a section on a controller, but the settings don't show any options for adding a controller. What I did find were options for button remapping. I didn't know the XB1 did that. Learned something new.
- I did install all new updates on my XB1. My user interface changed, but the new controller still wouldn't sync up.
- I did dig up my old Scuff controller. Tried to see if I could sync that. It synced up no problem. I then went and played a few Crucible games. It's amazing how much better one does when they can reliably sprint around the map. Makes a huge difference having the sprint button work. I could just use this controller, except for one of it's other buttons doesn't work :-(
My last attempt is going to see if I can find a way to hardwire the controller into the XB1. See if that works, just can't find all the old wires. I think I boxed them up and put them away somewhere.

Don't own a Xbox 1 but they could simply see and check if it can connect in the store.

sounds like the controller is br0ken but just to cover everything, it's important that you don't HOLD DOWN the sync buttons. You just press it once and the thing starts blinking, then you press the other one. That's it. They're supposed to link up. The Kinect helps with this too if you have one that's on.
Also the bigger problem sounds like you may be losing your eyesight if you can't read the instructions. Time for some bifocals old man!

You may need to do a hard reset of your router and modem. Unplug both, and leave them unplugged for two minutes. Plug the modem back in, wait another two minutes, and make sure all of the appropriate lights are blinking. Then plug in your router.

Make sure your Playstation Plus membership hasn't expired. That happened to me once and never again!

Hold on..... did you stay on the plate while defeating the 3 waves of Vex? Because your Ghost can't sync your controller if you're not on the plate.

Can't Siri do it for you? Or is it because they removed the headphone jack?

IDubbs_Smashed_controller_pic.Jpg when? It's coming. Maybe. If it's a under-$100 purchase, I have no issues with smashing it into pieces.

This is the canadian site address (for obvious reasons) but I'm sure you can get the american www.playstation.com/en-ca/support/warranties/ps4/

No, I haven't purchased the Playstation warranty. I don't think that will help. Agreed... I just read some stories how even with the warranty, they're still pretty stingy about returns/refunds. Check the PS4 help forums; someone's bound to have had the same problem as you

Disable your serial ports in BIOS that should free up some IRQs and let you plug in directly to the ISA bus. If Plug and Play doesn't work consider setting the jumpers manually to one of the free IRQs.
