I personally do not like buying used controllers, and I refuse to buy 3rd party GC controllers of subpar quality. What are my options? Allow someone price gouge and pay them $60 for a brand new GC controller off of eBay/Amazon? Or pay Nintendo $30? I'm going to go with the latter.
Came out in Asia, Japan, and Europe. I'm going to import mine online. Can't remember where its the cheapest right now though.
Oh, the article I found said it was a Euro exclusive. eBay has them for about $50 from Japan and Hong Kong, so I could so that route.
Guess you missed my more recent post
The controllers look ugly, but that won't stop me from collecting them and selling extras.
Sure they could. Or, ya know, they could just make an adapter so that your existing Gamecube controllers will work without having to buy a new one, and you don't get stuck with a GC controller that only works on Wii U.
having to plug into a wiimote kills it for me both the inconvenience and the need for batteries. also its pelican the build quality is most likely gonna suck
everything up.I'm with you.... I'm gonna have to take a closer look into this. I will miss the rumble, but that's a trade-off I can live with if it's "wireless" via attachment to the wiimote. Besides I could use another Wii CCP more than a Gamecube controller now anyways.its basically a classic controller pro with a gamecube design so chill the fk out before i drop u. early impre$$ions say its pretty cumfy. take a look urself:
ill buy 2 of these over 1 gaymecube controller + adapter anyday.
I take it you never played games like Geist of DBZ Budokai (2). Most of my 1st party gamecube controllers are worn out to the point that they are useless in any game requiring the joystick and B button, but to be fair I played both those games heavily and they are brutal on controllers.
Nintendo and Sony both make a nice controller, but they are hardly the only worthwhile options. I mean yeah, I will prefer 1st party given a choice, but it's not worth paying the premium when there are other alternatives that work just as well for so much less.Yeah I remember. I also remember that somewhere around 2003 or 2004, the MSRP was lowered.
Have PDP/Pelican ANYTHING been rare?
I know I shouldn't feed the rcerboss, but there's your problem right there; if you use a controller rigorously, it'll obviously get worn out.
thanks, sad it requires plugin through a wiimote...guess ill wait for the wii u one for my wavebird
Uh, no? $20 is a good price. It's USB, so it can probably work on PC too. And it has 4 ports so you only need 1. The Mayflash at $15 is overpriced. Only 1 port and you need a Wiimote, which also means wireless delay. And people are still willing to buy it.
ing wiiu gamepad it will work great Im not buying old ass technology for 40-50 bucks just for one damn game"ing MSRP, it isn't collectible, it isn't limited, its just 2 mass produced accessories put with a game that you will be able to find EVERYWHERE. Jesus Christ you people are pathetic excuses for cag members. This isn't a deal, at best it should just have been put into the general Nintendo wiiu discussion forum.
Because if you buy them separately with GCU, you save $12 on the game. You can't use GCU on the bundle. $12 > $10, screw this.
No, but that is something where you get a special edition of a $400, plus a $60 game. The special console holds more generic value than the $400 iteration sold on its own that's everywhere.
...which is $10 cheaper than the combined MSRP of the game+controller+adapter, making it a deal. The only reason the bundle exists is to save you money.
Because it makes no sense to spend an extra $2 on the exact same thing at the exact same store. Also, everyone else on here keeps saying that hardware cancels GCU, though I don't have experience with it to say it's true or not. We'll find out in about 5-6 months, but I wouldn't expect them to discount it to $80 with GCU.
You see why I don't argue with these people anymore and for the most part don't even post in the threads I don't approve of? Pretty much everyone is going to justify what they want, for whatever reason they want, regardless of how logical it is. Heck, around half of the thread is just talking about GameCube controllers with maybe 10% (if that) are actually about the bundle. In the end, this is not a deal, it's MSRP. I don't see why Nintendo making an official bundle and charging $10 less than retail is considered a deal, yet I can guarantee there will be at least 3 people here that will defend it and the thread will stick around.
ing semantic do you want to get? Can I consider preordering Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel from GameStop a deal too? It comes with the "shock drop slaughter pit," which if we look at Borderlands 2, is a savings of $4.99, so clearly this is a deal too, right? How about the Far Cry 4 season pass? Thats currently only $29.99 and includes something, though if we go off Watch Dogs, you're saving 25% buying that over everything separately. I mean, these are all bundle deals that involve buying something at MSRP, so naturally these are all deals too, right? :3
So, we should go ahead and start a new thread for every single bundle any publisher or manufacturer puts out? I guess we should just do a new thread for every single possible variant of every video game related SKU that comes along because apparently the people on this site are now too lazy to look at any other news site or retailer website for items being sold at full MSRP. This bundle is full MSRP at Gamestop. It just happens to contain three items that if you bought them separately would go for $10 more. That doesn't change the fact that this bundle is MSRP and not a deal as that term is commonly understood on this site and elsewhere. But please, feel free to keep cluttering up the forum with more junk like this that makes it harder and harder to find actual deals for the rest of us.
CAG has been so much more pleasent since i put metalslugger on the ignore list. I suggest you do the same, but agreed this isnt a deal.
