xbox 360- dodgy controllers, MS replace them?

Hi there

I have two wired controllers, they have both been kept in perfect condition

Sadly both have developed identical problems, the wire is obviously dodgy,and the connection comes and goes, rendering them useless

They are getting on a bit now, one is a launch day model and one is a year old

Will MS replace for free / reduced charge ? I wouldn't ask normally but I vaguely remember someone on here getting somewhere

IIRC peripherals are only covered by the warranty on your console, so unless your console is in warranty you're out of luck.

Worth trying though, worse they can say is no.

I had my Elite controller replaced after I dropped it and it turned a little to the left all the time.

I'll give it a try, contact info?

sounds like you have been winding the cables round the pads..

This.

Phone them up and say you're having issues. They might just replace.
