outlawlife6113d ago (Edited 6113d ago )

best place for controllers is sams club, you get a 2 pack of wireless 360 controllers for $75

that is a steal

the controller that came with my console is finally feeling the wears of daily use so i'm probably gonna pick one of these up

dxmnecro6113d ago

Are they really that cheap there? Is the console any cheaper too?

outlawlife6113d ago (Edited 6113d ago )

the consoles alone aren't really any cheaper, but they often have ridiculous bundles for instance a 360 pro with 2 controllers,charge kits, and madden 09 is $350

games run about $5 cheaper alone and accessories tend to be much cheaper

zo6_lover276113d ago

I bought my ipod there for $220, its normally $250

Bnet3436113d ago

Check Amazon often, I got a wireless controller for $30

They change the color to red and the price goes up like 15 bucks????
limited quantity my ass who cares im not paying 70+ after taxes for that crap. go to the pawnshop and get one for 15 bucks and paint it your self

outlawlife6113d ago (Edited 6113d ago )

the price didn't go up...it is the same price as the white and black ones, the $50 versions don't come with the recharge packs

wow a wii troll. Don't see many on here these days.

What Outlawlife said......get your facts strait before u troll =)

Th3 Chr0nic6113d ago

Not a troll and i dont like wii dont own one and in fact that pic u are referring to is my way of making fun of them.

and i did not know it had a recharge pack in it im so sorry.
its still a ripoff that they are making it limited time only. if they really wanted to do something cool they could let u order any color you want, im sure there would be plenty of fools willing to pay an extra 100 bucks for their choice of colors

Nintendo Rep6113d ago

There are no such thing as Wii trolls, only Wii supporters. Sony and Microsoft are the trolls around here. SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH AND STOP POINTING OUT THINGS BEFORE A FLAMEWAR STARTS.

Sounds like a ripoff.An extra 15 bucks for a different color.Pathetic.

Draperc6113d ago

Actually I think it comes with a rechargeable battery pack, and I think this controller is the one with the redesigned d-pad. Not 100% sure though. Besides, isn't a Dual shock 3 controller about 60 dollars?

gano6113d ago

yea, ds3 is 60. But u would limit a better working d-pad, color,
and charge an ex 15. Ds3 is usb rechargeable, six/shock.

Dyingduck6113d ago

PS3 Dualshock3 is sold for 40 bucks at amazon.com

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

M3talDiamond2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

-Foxtrot1d 15h ago

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

Inverno1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

GazCBG21h ago

The EU Date is the 31st July not the 3rd

Gotta be a slow news day when a 18 hours and 3 comments (now 4)makes it to the front page🤷🏿
.
Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.

darthv722d ago

Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
