Xbox 360 Controller Incompatible with Xbox One

To be fair, I was correct that it didn't work as it was like the Gamecube and Wiimotes do with the Wii and the Wii U respectively. Wasn't aware of the modification, and I don't read all the posts... don't have to, don't want to.Tank207 said:
I'm also pretty sure this cost more then $5 at the time as well. Also with wireless controllers the technology that the 360 uses isn't compatible with the better system the One uses... should they use worse tech to make them compatible?
Like I said, it hasn't been confirmed that is has to "check in with mommy Microsoft" to play "any" of your games. Again, we are jumping the gun. I don't think it should do that either, so we agree on that. The rumored "24 hour check in" could be to check firmware updates like a PC does with Windows, anit-virus, or other software updates.Jmp_man said:
"You can't be "bothered" with" connecting a console online? What does that mean? Is it hard to get an internet connection where you live? Can you not afford internet access? (I'm not making fun if you can't, its a legitimate question. And before the irony is pointed out about asking me if you have internet access, you could be posting on a cell phone or table on someone's wifi or at someones house) I want to ask sincerely before assuming you're just trolling like a douche.
If you just don't WANT to hook it up to online, that's your choice, and if the One requires it, don't get it. But don't blame the system because you chose not to use its full functionality. The advent of online connected consoles is a good thing that millions of people want, or demand. Online play, software improvements, downloading games, streaming videos, video communication, and adding new features and content are all good things.
That would be like someone criticizing a dish at a restaurant that you already don't like...
Why can't they use the wireless adapter that you can use with PCs currently. Isn't it running some form of windows 8 shouldn't be too hard to get it working. £15 and you can use all the old controllers to your hearts content oh wait we're talking about microsoft and that sounds far too reasonable for their current state of stupidity.

No, although it would be nice if the corded 360 controllers at least worked. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't. From what I understand all the Xbone controller really has that's different (other than the Kinect) is the extra rumble finger tingly thingy.
Fair enough. I tend to favor Logitech, myself, but I have heard good things about the 360 controllers.Sgt. Sykes said:
Still, given the features that Microsoft is touting as the reason for the incompatibility between 360 and One controllers, it's a little hard for me to see how a One controller would particularly advantage a PC user over the 360 version. The big headliners seem to be things that are specifically designed to interface with the One/Kinect itself, and would thus almost certainly be useless to a PC user barring what would almost certainly be a third-party jimmying.
How can you possibly know how comfortable it is simply by looking at it? Granted, it does look bigger than the previous controller, but still it's a controller and no one has even given it a chance. If you're planning on owning the console and playing it for 14 solid straight months then why are you complaining about it's comfort when NOTHING but pictures and information has been released to the public? You could say it looks awkward, but how in the hell can you possibly gage how comfortable it is?Strazdas said:
because i am able to see its shape? and i have experience to say that such shapes are not confortable to keep in hand?bug_of_war said:
Well if it requires a login once a day as most people think by now then people who have no internet is screwed. also anyone who does not want to be controlled by MS is also screwed since MS can pretty much do ANYTHING it wants once a day. even film you on your living room. Thats where Kinect comes in. its basically a high-res webcam that is on 24/7 in your living room. wana bet how long it will take till someone finds a way in and starts making porn with it? and its not free with the system. you dont buy Xbone. you buy a packpage of Xbone+kinect. if you were to be albe to buy without kinect it would be cheaper. alas, no such option. and not to mentio you have to keep it on and eating your power suplpy that you pay for for it to do aboslutely nothing.Brockyman said:
That still seems like a poor excuse, but fuck it, if you don't like it than who am I to try and change your opinion.Strazdas said:
I'm intrigued as to how adding more feedback to a few controls and reducing latency makes it better for watching TV?oldtaku said:
On topic this is hardly a surprise. In fact outside of Nintendo its par for the course. Oh and my 360 ones are getting a bit dog-eared.
Neither looks that great, but I may well get both (first generation I'll be doing so unless the PS3 has another price drop), for a combination of gaming with the wife, media center style functions (especially 4k as a quick look at media player prices suggests that getting both may well be only slightly more than one of sonys stand alone ones) and the odd exclusive.
Damn I'm going to need some serious HDMI inputtage in the future.
