How do you connect your PS3 controller to a different PS3?

You can't directly connect a PS3 controller to a different PS3. Here's why:

* Pairing: PS3 controllers are paired with specific consoles. When you first connect a controller, it registers with the console's internal database.

* Bluetooth: PS3 controllers use Bluetooth to communicate with the console. While you can pair a new controller with a PS3, it won't work with a different one.

What you can do:

1. Pair a new controller: You can pair a new PS3 controller with the new PS3 console. This will allow you to use it for that specific console.

2. Use a wired connection: If you have a wired PS3 controller, you can use it on any PS3 console by connecting it via the USB cable. However, wired controllers aren't as common and can be harder to find.

3. Use a third-party adapter: Some third-party adapters can be used to connect PS3 controllers to different consoles, like PCs or even newer PlayStation consoles. These adapters often require specific software and may not have the same functionality as official controllers.

In summary: You can't directly use a PS3 controller paired with one console on another. You'll need to either pair a new controller with the new console or use a third-party solution.
