Hey guys, just thought this was better suited here since I live in Canada and am looking for deals in Canada. Basically I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any Canadian stores that have a good deal on wireless xbox 360 controllers right now. I need to get one, but I don't wanna pay the insane 60 bucks most stores are asking (+tax). I have been looking around, but the best I've seen is 5 bucks off at best buy or future shop (hardly a deal). Thanks!

Thats probably all you'll find.

Actually futureshop has some good 360 accessory deals this week.

If you don't have Gears of War yet, Staples has Gears of War + Xbox 360 Wireless controller for $20 off the total.

Wow, not bad. I'd love a second controller for local co-op.

I saw the XBox 360 controller (pretty sure it was wireless) at Compusmart (downtown Toronto) for 49.99. I think they may be have a clearance at some stores for console games and accessories.

Well my friend decided he wanted to buy a 360 controller since he wanted us to play 2 player, anyway we went down to EB Games and lo and behold there was a wired 360 controller brand new for 29.99. This was not on sale, I repeat NOT ON SALE. Why was it that cheap you ask? Simple, its got different packaging (red colour) and it comes with a driver cd to install it on the pc. Ya it 20 bucks less and comes with more stuff, boggles my mind too. Anyway its identical in every way to my wired controller that came with my 360, and yes its made by microsoft. The package is labeled "Xbox 360 controller for Windows". Aside from the packaging and the inclusion of the driver cd, it is the same as the ones that retail for $49.99.

Figure that one out.

Ya they only ship to the United States. Besides even if they did ship to Canada you are looking at shipping costs, and duty as well. In the end its still a pretty decent deal, if you want 3 controllers.
