    Controllers breaking every month!


    Is anyone else having this issue? This is starting to really piss me off to the point of literally switching back over to playstation. I have an Xbox One. I don't play hardcore all day or something like that, each night I play for maybe an hour or two and
    when I first switched back to Xbox I went through two basic controllers in a matter of maybe 2-3 months. I decided to get the Elite Controller which was almost $200 but I figured it'd be worth it if I didnt have to go out and buy another controller every month
    or so. The elite lasted a bit longer, but in total maybe 3-4 months. I decided to go back to the regular ones and have now bought 3 controllers over the course of 3 months. Every single one of them its been the left joystick that loses full range of motion.
    The only game I play period is NHL and not having full range of motion makes it impossible to play (sometimes it won't let me skate backwards, or turn left etc.). I don't get a lot of time to play so its a HUGE piss off to sit down and relax and get 2 minutes
    into a game and realize my controller **** This is literally RIDICULOUS!

    :)

    Dark Souls II - use the D-pad...

    Picking this up for PS3 and counting the days until release this week. Sounds like the difficulty is every bit as hard as Dark Souks... Looks like I will be breaking a few controllers shortly.

    Xbox 360 repair / replace

    360's break every few months, buy a Wii they're much better.

    Changes That Should Be Made to The Xbox One

    @lei fang

    True but knowing MS charge and play kits they would break every 3 months and need replacing, now if they were the only option to power the controller MS would make a killing lol.

    Seriously tho, MS wont give up those dollars to help the consumer have a better experience which is a shame.
