How many 360 pads you own?

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?

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.

2. I would buy 2 more but they are too expensive.

Shocking how some of you are chucking your controllers. They are very fragile compared to the days of the SNES, whose controller was near indestructable.

I suppose its the problem of wireless though. Before if you chucked a controller, you'd either never do it again because it'd rip the console off the table, or the cord would stop the controller from hitting the wall. Wireless. Its the devil's work I tells ya.

Threw one over my shoulder at the GF's house shortly after launch, went through the window (open luckily) and landed in the road. Was lucky there was no one coming!!
