problem with shiny plastic is that it wears down fairly fast on things of this kind

Yay another poorly made controller that will break in 6 months!
I have bought several controllers, and believe me I take care of them, I always put them away and don't mistreat them. I use ps3 controllers just as much as much and treat the same have had no problems and its 2 years old. My current 360 controller died in 6 months. So yay a new controller I have to bloody buy that will break yet again. Why cant Microsoft make good hardware?

Funny, cause I still have the wireless controller that came with my first 360 like 3-4 years ago. And I don't exactly treat them nicely. They have a tendency to go flying across the room.

Uh..... that's..... great? I guess?

Anyone else find it comical that they spent so much time and money on the Kinect so you can "play without a controller" and then they come out with a new controller with roughly one half of a new function?

Not getting enough money for your old rope, Microsoft?

Hey you know people will buy this shit. Microsoft should be applauded for playing the American populace for chumps, nothing wrong with milking customers for every dollar they're willing to give.

Strange. I bought a 360 controller for Windows back in 2006 and it's still working fine for me. Could perhaps need a wash, but that's all.

That's what worries me, sure if you need a new controller and want to spend £5 extra that's up to you, but I know people who will go out and buy this just so they've got the "newest" thing!

And is that Graham Chapman bobbing up and down?
