I got one.
Interesting stick placement and good battery life but it doesn't feel as good in the hand. Stick quality is much worse too.

Bunch of punk arse kids in here who don't appreciate a good wired controller. I used Wired X360 pads exclusively because fuck batteries.
Great, apparently because I didn't send the item with tracking and the buyer is a hard headed ass that isn't responding to my messages, I can't actually win the PayPal dispute. I literally can't see how someone can literally write nothing but "mate, where's my item it should be here by now" in the claim and win on PayPal when there are very easy ways to resolve this issue (i.e. me sending him the actual fucking code because the card itself is useless).

I actually had a series of nightmares with play and charge kits on X360. I got a second hand one from EB, it stopped working real fast. Then I got a cheap one off Ebay and the battery pack was busted. At which point I was too poor to actually buy a legit one so I just played games using the lpug and charge cable permenantly plugged in. It was like using a wired controller, but worse, because the cable was shorter.
Yeck.
Yeck.
Paypal is a shitty company. I feel for you.
Me too. I went through about 3 before I just stopped playing consoles altogether. Sick of shit that kept fucking breaking.

The Xbox 360 controller is the definitive PC gamepad though.
I use a wireless one with a knockoff receiver. Works great.

Mmmmmm Dodo deal dodgy deals.
I wonder what percentage of Cash Convertors goods are stolen.
80%?
Nah don't like the feel/shape of it compared to the DS4/360 controller. I really dislike the bumpers.
You totally got that from following me on Twitter though right?
Which was it on? Didn't hit AU PS+ sadly
OH
Did you post that router? Totally just remembered lol
Yeah the cheapo $10 chinese ones work perfect for the most part

Wired for life, and I'm not talking about my coffee addiction.
Nope, it's sitting at my desk at work, waiting to be shipped off. And I can't find the power adapter for it

The fuck, you're right!you missed it
I even got Wipeout but not Lumines. No idea how that happened, mustn't have checked for it
Yup, no receipt in my email. Now I can never buy it knowing I should already have it for "free"!
It'll go on sale again I bet, I'd prefer the digital edition!

lol what kind of power? I can probably jsut use the one from the Netgear router.
Mass excitement in the office today as we welcomed the delivery of a water cooler. Clearly our one year old (just) start-up is booooming!
you missed it
Oh man! What was your first water cooler topic of discussion??
At one of my old jobs we used to bitch about made up staff members.

Electrical. I have a hunch that the power for the old Billion router worked with it, if you still have it kicking around. Worst case, $20 at DSE would get you up and running.
Strangely, I have the box for it, but NFI on the adapter

Yeah the Billion is up on my shelf, reminding me not to trust strangers
lol not really, out in the shed somewhere! Pretty sure I still have it
Oh god, this Steven Seagal "movie" that's on TV right now (and the one on last night as well... or whenever it was) is BAD.
Edit: What the fuck? THERE'S A NEW GAUNTLET GAME COMING OUT SOON?!?
FUUUUUUCK.

So you get 3 Destiny beta codes with each preorder. Guardians unite?

I had a good run with the official rechargeable battery packs, the first 2 i purchased lasted me 12 months before i "lost them" (house got flooded, my main entertainment room where the 360 was sustained the damage). In the years since i went through 4 that lasted 6 months or less before they were useless.
I currently have 1 battery pack (from the silver controller with moveable d-pad + play & charge kit bundle) that came out in 2012, and using many AA rechargeable batteries.
I have many 360 controllers (14 at last count), it comes from owning many 360 consoles (6 in total). Six controllers from 3 different console bundles that had 2x controllers in them (most recent being the COD MW 3 console) and other acquisitions. I have far too many of the default white one's.
I purchased the 360 controller for windows (with wireless receiver) back in 2010. I've only seen the wired version in stores the past few years.
Watched the Giant Bomb Quick Look last night. Looks fun!! Will wait for a Steam sale though.
Wired controllers for PC (XBox360 pad is awesome) and wireless for my consoles. Who can't afford batteries?

Speaking of destiny, where is the best place to preorder? How do EB/JB distribute the beta codes?
reptilescorpio

Amazon. Make pre-order, recieve beta code in email instantly, cancel pre-order at not cost to yourself.
On release day? I expect Dick Smith and at the very Target to have it for $60-70.
(pretty sure EB print the beta code on the pre-order reciept by memory)

Preorder at Amazon they send the beta code immediately via email. Cancel preorder at Amazon. Grab it on release day at Dick Smith where it is likely to be much cheaper than JB / EB. Unless you want a special edition and then it is a bit of a crapshoot when it will get delivered because it comes out on a Saturday.

I think its cooler! Tech bores me. I'm to far behind to catch up.
The Aldi low self discharge seem just as good. A bunch of people on Whirlpool tested various low self discharge batteries and these are supposed to be very good for the money: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/...2400mAh_Low_Self_Discharge_ready_to_use_.html
We seem to be at a point where we have just enough batteries for his trains, and a couple spare for charging, but those are what I will try when I need more.
