Depressing to go from scouring the beautiful affordability of the steam sale to, yet again, looking for a decent controller to use. Don't like my PS3 controller for PC anymore and the Microsoft ones are so stupid expensive. If someone made a good XInput supported PC controller for like $20, they could have all my babies forever until the end of time.

Not sure what you're on about with the 360 controller; they're literally the same price as the Dualshock 3. You can always buy a used, wired 360 controller for about $20 on Amazon.

Edit: My 360 controllers have held up /far/ better than my friends dualshock 3's that are the same age. My own dualshock 3 is feeling pretty sloppy already, but is only about a year old whereas my 360 controllers are all 3-4 years old.

If any of you are thinking of getting a controller receiver for your xbox 360 wireless to play on your pc, i would suggest getting one of these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370777929957&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160

it looks like he is selling the dongles that came with the pack that were usually including the controller with dongle, but he is just selling the dongle.  definitely better than getting one of the cheap chinese versions that tend to die.

heck, i am considering getting a backup

I wasn't making a PS3 vs. Xbox 360 comment anywhere. If you'll notice, I said I was tired of using a PS3 controller. Wasn't saying they were better anywhere. So lets just head the console war stuff off at the pass. That's a waste of everyone's time.

BTW: The very cheapest used Xbox 360 controller on Amazon wired is $28 from some shady third party.

Link me to this official controller for $20. I can't find it.

Even the knock off one's aren't $20.

EDIT: Question for you guys. I have a old 360 controller that doesn't charge but will work if it's plugged into a charge cable. Can I just buy a charge cable and use it like a wired controller? I'm assuming you can't but worth asking.

Any of the Wireless 360 Controllers for Windows will come bundled with the dongle. You can often find them for about $40 on Amazon which is a pretty decent deal for controller + dongle.

Logitech F310 - $20 (wired, no rumble) They are built solidly (similar to RumblePad 2). It supports Xinput natively (no software required), there's also a switch on the bottom to put it in DirectInput mode for all your pre-360 controller needs. I own a F510 (F310+rumble, EOL'd) & DS3.

How long ago? And is it a Official 360 controller? Becuase Gamestop sells their own brand.

According to Gamestop.com pre-owned wired is 32.99.
Click to expand...
It's a MadCatz 4716 and I bought a year ago or so, I don't see that exact model on their website anymore, the one they have now for 22 has what looks like extra padding on the sides. I'm not a serious gamer, I just couldn't play the Assassins Creed or Batman games with the keyboard so went and grabbed whatever they had for used.

You can't. That was the first thing I tried to do when I got my first Xbox with a P&C kit and while it will make the PC bing as if a device is connected, it doesn't control anything. Lame.

I bought an official wired X360 pad used and the buttons/sticks were what failed, it developed an internal break in the wiring itself at the pad connection. Suckage. Had to buy another one. I've had three Xbox 360s (original one, 2nd one for home, an Elite upgrade) and none of those pads ever failed or degraded. The only bad thing was the mushy D-pad that was the one weak part of a great design.

Nice. I'll have to go to Walmart later and see if they have any in stock and if not Amazon has it for the same price with Prime.

 
I use a wired 360, got best Buy to match a Newegg deal and got it for around $30. I was using Dualshock 3 before that, worked fine except for the rumble in Kingdoms of Amalur didn't work. I wanted the buttons to match the screen so I sprung for the 360 pad. It has worked fine, the d-pad is shit and one of the sticks gets stuck off-center, but that only causes problems in games with no deadzone, Dishonored is the only one I've noticed. My guy would constantly be drifting to the left cause the stick didn't go back to 100% center.

It was $18 after voucher from GMG the other week.

 
So, I'm idling Stellar Impact in the background and the menu music/sounds make me feel like I should be meditating.  Very relaxing, I kinda dig it.  Reminds me of the movie Solaris (2002).

 
Damn, where's a good place to look for card trades? I have some duplicates and no friends with the ones I need. Trying to exchange this Tomb Raider card. And now a Hitman one too. Been getting lots of doubles.

Wireless controllers also have a separate holder for two AA batteries, which snaps on the back (same size as the rechargeable play n charge battery). At least it comes with the controller if you bought it new. Used, might not be included.

Any reason we can't trade them in the Steam Group Buy thread. I'll likely want to dump my dupes as well, though I'm still in the process of idling to collect all my cards.

 
Does anyone have a link to that bioshock postcard background that they had on the main steam site on the first day? I thought I had saved it but now I can't find it anywhere.

 
I've never played the Darksiders franchise. Do I pick up 1 and 2? Or, are they similar enough to skip the first? What about the story??! So many questions....

Please advise.

I definitely recommend playing them in order for the story. 2 takes place during 1, but will make no sense unless you've played 1 already. 2 pretty much jumps eit into the story and expects you to know the what happened in one, because if you don't you won't know what/why you're doing everything.

I haven't played 1 yet, and I can say the story makes enough sense that I was able to follow 2.

That being said, I have heard good things about the first game and fully intend to play it myself. I would personally suggest picking up both.

To my knowledge the first is better than the second, story wise. You shouldn't skip the first even though they are both in the God of War style gameplay. I actually debated on picking up the second one but decided that $10 is a bit much, for those that really want it that shouldn't hold you back.

That is EXACTLY what I need. Do they work with Xinput?
Click to expand...
Not really familiar with Xinput. Is it like Xpadder? If so, yeah, I use it with that no problem. I have many non-gamepad friendly games mapped out using this thing. Works very well. The controller even has a standard 360 headset jack on the bottom which also works when connected to PC.

The MS Store link probably isn't very helpful anymore since the $10 codes are no longer active, but Amazon sells them as well, ranging from $20-25 with Prime shipping...depending on which color you like.

Interested in Resident Evil 6, but not necessarily for $20 yet.  Any chance this game will show up as a flash sale for 66-75% off instead.  Do daily sale games ever go on to be flash sales, or is it vice versa?

It will probably go flash sale but not any higher for two reasons:

1) 20 is the cheapest it's been anywhere without coupons (18 at GMG)

2) It's a Capcom title. They're stingy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinput

Xinput = 360 protocol

DirectInput pre-360 superior protocol, still in widespread use for wheel/pedals proper flight setups, etc... Xinput only supports exactly in the inputs on a 360 pad.

I assumed the original question was a a poor attempt at irony.
