does anyone else own a PS4? Have you had problems with the rubber covers peeling off of the thumbsticks? Just noticed this last night on mine.

I own one its a common enough problem that they may have changed on the newer ones. you can either send it in to them and wait a month or buy covers. that's what I did when mine started to show signs of it. plus I found the thumbsticks slipply.
I only have one controller so I didn't want to not be able to play my ps4 for weeks, though considring picking up a white or blue one.

these are what I got . you get two sets of covers and they work on all the controllers. seems they cost bit more over there. here they are about $5.and aren't pounds worth more so i'd expected it to be less in pounds, though seems you guys over there get charged more for video games then we do o.O

Yes, mine also do the same thing. The material on the thumb sticks is of a poor quality. The thumb stick covers are a great idea and work well.

apparently Sony knows of the issue. I was able to get the controller exchanged. If you managed to keep the reciept from your PS4 and bring the controller back to the shop you bought the machine they will give you a brand new dualshock 4 (with what the shop tells me updated thumbsticks).
