How many 360 pads you own?

Ultra_Extreme · 1 Aug 2006 at 12:43

Ive made it a kind of personal mission to complete the 'ring of light' by having 4 pads. Only up to 3 atm as i just picked one up of the MM for £25.

You might say its pointless as most games are max 2player and besides 4player split screen is kind of gay. But i find its a great way of keeping a good condition pad for your main one.

My first pad (bought feb with console), now the player 3 pad and back on AA's is very worn. The stick has no 'nodules' for grip so your thumb slips off all the time also its cracked a little around the seam due to game rage tossings.

My player 2 pad picked up off ebay has a wierd issue where every so often the battery slips out of place and it turns off. Not annoying enough to send it back tho tbh still got a good feel to it.

Now the mint one i got off the MM seems perfect, feels like new. When this starts to wear out I geuss ill complete my ring of light

No idea what im rambling on about now, bored i geuss lol.

How many pads do you have? and why?

Oooooo spam, I like spam

!

I only have two as that's all I need. Well, until Fusion Frenzy 2 comes out that is.

1, Because I have no friends.

I bought a second pad at launch, as I think 2 is the minimum. I haven't bought any more as 4 player is the next step, and that requires quite a bit more money, and is much less commonly used.

Ive got 2 wireless and 1 wired, always need at least 2 for mates coming round, and the wired one lets me ue it on the 360 or the PC. Only had all 3 in once, so no need for a 4th yet.. Maybe once a decent footy game is out Ill pick up another.

I have 3 wireless pads, two came with my 360, the other I bought back in January to play on my housemates 360.

Just 2 pads as that's all I think you need.

I do expect to get a wheel, flightstick and arcade stick as and when decent ones become available, I'd go for a "snowboard" controller as well if they did those.

Theres something about the thought of you stood in your living room wiggling around on a plastic snowboard that deeply...deeeeply scares me.

Hehe. The truth is I have TWO of them for the old Xbox and when drunk a touch of Amped is great, especially if I have friends round.

I have four wireless pads - mainly for Fifa but on a huge screen PDZ etc isnt too bad

We have been perfecting our teamwork and people are starting to hate us

Alex_L · 1 Aug 2006 at 13:07

Got 4 wireless ones. However two of them need replacing as fight night has ruined the right analogue stick on both, and tiger woods has wrecked the left bumper button.

Soulja · 1 Aug 2006 at 13:10

2 wired which i mainly use for the p.c and 1 wireless for the 360

da_mic_1530 · 1 Aug 2006 at 13:25

ive got 3, we play a lot of fifa and pes games

Tunney · 1 Aug 2006 at 13:32

I've got two wireless ones and two wired ones. I didn't know how much use I'd get out of the wired ones, but 4-player FIFA WC is proving to be popular.

We've been playing 4 players on one side vs. the computer. Everyone runs after the ball and there's no defense what-so-ever. It's just like being back at school.

2 wireless.

The original one went a bit wobbly (but still works) on the casing after I smashed it against the wall during a FIFA Global Challenge

Arsey · 1 Aug 2006 at 14:03

2 wired, me and a friend can play.

but can play with thousands of people over Live! anyway

Thesnipergecko · 1 Aug 2006 at 14:13

2 wireless and 1 wired

Paul ...

Whilst the best controller on any console, im finding them to be lacking in durability. The one wireless I got with launch has developed a dodgy Y button (making through balls impossible on PES). Bought a new one and that has a strange issue where the light ring stays on even when the consoles off. Dont think it drains too much on the battery but its not right.

=/ methink you take this gaming lark too seriously.

1 wired, 1 wireless. If more people want to play they can buy their own pads rather than knackering mine. Got the wired because I use it on the PC too.
