Wireless Xbox 360 Controller

This thing is a marvel.

I love it. First off, perfect size for my hands. I have bigger hands, and when I play PS2 at my buddy's house ( I don't bring my 360 anywhere ) I feel like I'm playing with a Fisher Price toy. Not to mention I always feel as if the Fisher Price toy is going to break, but more on that later.

Second, it's light-weight. It's perfectly comfortable in my hands at all times.

Third. Triggers!!! I was a former hardcore PS2 nut, and never ever saw myself buying an Xbox. I was sold on the PS3 years before it came out. I'm glad I didn't go down the Sony road. These triggers are awesome, and developers have found some of the coolest ways to use them.

Fourth. This stuff is quality. And I mean it. Microsoft-made controllers last. I've had my 360 since March 2007, so about 11 months. Almost a year!! And I have not had one single problem with my controller. Sadly, I cannot say that for PS2 controllers. Frankly, PS2 controllers suck. They just don't live up to these babies. I remember buying countless Sony-made controllers after they would just break. Just stop working. I would find that usually the R2 or L2 buttons (which are now triggers on the 360) would stick in, and once that happened, I realized the entire controller was screwed. I would literally buy a new PS2 controller every 2 or 3 months. They're just not made like the Microsoft controllers.

Yeah, I've been really happy with the Xbox 360 controllers (though one of mine was messed up. The A button would randomly stop working, but I fixed replaced it and now all of mine are great). I was reading an article about Halo 3 multiplayer before it was released, and Bungie commented that the Xbox 360 controller was ideal for shooters.

I couldn't agree more.

This controller rules for FPS games.

Something I did not mention: if you own a wireless controller, and still use batteries, get the Play & Charge kit. Twenty bucks, but will save you a bundle in the long run.

I've realized that the wireless controller does not use the vibrate function when its running low on batteries.

I agree the Controllers are sweet!

Weird... I didn't know that about the low battery thing. I have a play and charge kit (awesome) so I plug my controller in as soon as I see the flashing circle on the controller. Oh that's another cool feature! You can see how charged your controller is with the dashboard update!

Dashboard update? I just press the Guide Button to see battery life

weird. i didnt get that until i updated my dashboard. cool for you though!

Lol sweet. I've bought OXM discs in the past, perhaps they update the system

Yeah I'm not sure.
