    Just want to pay to fix this stupid controller. Had it for less then half a year with hardly any hours on it and the left stick completely doesnt work. 200$ for quality less then a normal controller? And no way to fix it except buy a replacement at no
    discount or anything? Complete garbage controller and company

    Hi Ryder DalyAdler,

    I am sorry to hear you are having issues with your controll and I can understand your frustrations. Have you tried checking to see if the controller is under warranty as it may still be and Microsoft can troubleshoot your issues and get it repaired. Here
    is the link to the Xbox support page specifically for Controller Warranty checks and repairs.

    https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warranty

    Hopefully this will help you get back into he game fast. Best of luck!

    Why Lei Fang? So it can overhead faster? :p

    I'm against having a speaker in the controller because it adds weight and will likely be cheap in terms of quality, but still make the controller itself more expensive. IMO, it's not really necessary...

    Don't be Surprised if Sony Takes a Cut From Used Games Too.

    [quote user="BEASTmmb"]

    Thats because Origin is a terrible service. Steam on the other hand runs huge sells at least twice a year where games are cheap as can be. I spent about $75 in each of the last two sales and got what would have amounted to between $200 and $300 at retail
    each time.

    [/quote]

    the difference is Origin is a show of publishers controlling their own pricing model entirely, I know valve publish too but they offer competition on the service too. If Publishers get to control pricing Origin shows what happens. Publishers controlling
    their own prices entirely will mean no sales nothing like that as you said you get $200-$300 worth of retail stuff for $75 on steam Publishers won't want that they'll want people paying that $200-$300 in the short sighted belief that by charging more they'll
    make more money rather than finding more sales generating more money for them.

    Faulty controller

    I dont eat or have liquids by my controlers i just know that the parts you can buy online are way better biult then the controllers are. So why are they not built with thoes parts in the first place? We spend 70$ canadian on a decent controler just to
    find out they when you can buy newer better parts and make your controler for less than half of what we are paying. Everythings all about money and not quality now a days. Its all like lets see how many controllers we sell this year. When they should be looking
    at how long the controller lasts, performs and withstands the abuse it gets from time

    Battery Pack Problems Please Help...

    Rechargeable batteries lifespans vary on their price, it seems. cheap ones = short expensive = slightly longer. Xbox charge packs usually have a decent lifespan but the more you charge the less it lasts. Looks like you need more.
