xbox360 wireless controller £19.99

mrgubby · 9 Oct 2008 at 17:14

I went in my local gaming shop today & saw that they were doing the wireless controller for £19.99, but only if you were buying FIFA 09. After wandering round the store I spotted a poster that said you could get the controller for £19.99 with ANY console or software.

after a little bit of a discussion with the manager......

I bought a 2nd hand PGR4 & a new black controller for £34.94

Nice

Enjoy severing your fingers trying to free the controller from its plastic prison

That is so true, I think half the difficulty of getting one is getting it out the packaging intact.

Yuo paid £15 for PGR4 2nd hand. Mugged

Yeah I dunno if its just wear on my controllers or the fact that my white controllers are an old version but I find my black controller more comfortable and have better sticks. Prob. just due to wear and tear though

Ah well. I suppose if I wasn't feeling lazy I could spray my controllers..

I've worn one of my white controllers down to the plastic on the left thumbstick

After cleaning my Elite controller with a wet wipe it stopped working. I phoned MS and they sent me a brand new one within a week (which was nice).

The damned packaging actually broke my best pair of scissors.

What did you say exactly? Did you have to send the broken one back?

I might have to 'clean' my controller with a wet wipe.

No you dont have to send your 'broken' one back.

Also works with wireless headsets should the one that your nan bought you a few months ago happen to stop communicating with your xbox.

You paid £15 for PGR4 second hand?

Mull3t · 10 Oct 2008 at 09:05

I just call MS, tell them that (what ever accessorie I want) is broken, even If I dont own it. And they send me a brand new one.

Got my wireless adapter yesterday. FOC.

I replaced one about 2 years ago after an, errm, accident after a bad Burnout: Revenge session and they made me send it back first.

This time they didn't even ask me to send it back. They did ask for my 360 serial number though.

Doesn't everyone? I have little stickers on them all. Best, Bestest, Cats bum hair...
