    4th controller just broke...I'm done, Xbox one was a terrible choice and its proving expensive


    I'm so angry right now....

    I'm now on to controller number four, which just broke...the 'x' button has stopped popping back up and its just over 3 months old. I know from experience that this is just the first of many failures that I can expect now that the controller is outside of
    its warranty.

    My fourth controller in 12 months! Thats £40 per quarter...just to play.

    If you haven't bought an Xbox One ( and i recommend that you don't) then expect to spend £160 per year on controllers. That is what it has cost me so far.

    I'm done. It's a **** take.

    I HAD always regarded the xbox as a superior product and have owned a xbox, a 360 and as of 12 months ago, an xbox one. Huge mistake...everyone was telling me to get a PS4 because of blah blah blah. But they were right. Microsoft have made a second rate
    console with second rate materials.

    Worst thing is, i'm bailing and my Xbox-Live just auto-renewed. Lets call that a parting shot. Im left feeling cheated after 15 years as a consumer. I'd rather fork out for a PS4, live subscription and replace all the games than continue to to replace controllers
    evert 3 months. I'm not even getting the latest releases as the developers are by-passing this lump of turd.

    Thank god....a good game would probably cost me 80 - 120 quid on controllers alone.

    :)

    Turtle Beach Ear Force Tango not working at Xbox One anymore

    You're welcome, I'm glad it was something simple, and not a broken headset. Be very careful with your headset. I have taken pretty good care of mine and its in terrible condition. The plastic is just as week on the expensive turtle beaches as the cheep ones.
    Enjoy your headset, happy gaming!

    Xbox 360 Left Analog Stick Problem.

    I just bought an xbox one on Sept. 15 when NHL 16 came out. the original controller (a Forza edition) lasted for an hour, I returned it for a normal controller, since then I have done this 3 times, I am now on my 4th controller in 5 days. I dont knwo what
    the issue is but if this keeps happening I dont have much of a choice besides trying to return my entire system and and maybe switch to PLaystation.

    Complete garbage Xbox 1 controllers

    Thanks for the tip about the trying less expensive controllers as most say the more expensive ones, which I have read are not necessarily better.

    I also had the same 360 controller for years without a problem. Its why I am disappointed about the xbox 1 controllers. A quick google check will show I am not alone.

    However, according to some of the replies on here from Microsoft sycophants its because I do not use them correctly, abuse them, do not clean them so dirt gets into them, or it just got old. The one I am currently using broke after 3 months!

    Why is the headset adapter so expensive?

    Just called the 4th GameStop, 'yes we got them in today, and we are sold out.'

    Looks like they are not that expensive, and I'm going on a hunt.
