You people are seriously overpaying for this. And for what reason exactly? Because of the convertible D-Pad? because it comes with a play and charge cable? It's ridiculous that MS wants $65 for this to begin with, $51 is still overpriced. If you've used a regular 360 controller for this long, you don't need this new one. And if you really feel you do, wait for it to hit sub $40 at least.
It still blows my mind that MS doesn't include a charging cable with the console. Talk about nickel and diming, my goodness.
