You are talking utter garbage. The standard Xbox One controller is excellent. The Elite has a number of additional benefits, but to suggest the standard controller is "absolute junk" is nothing short of laughable.

Totally agree. If you look at the huge amounts of thumbsticks that have worn on peoples ps4 controllers you can't laughably put that in the same group as the xbox one elite controller. I've got both and the elite controller although expensive is in a different league. There is nothing wrong with the xbox one controller, in my opinion when you go back to a 360 one the different is night and day

So you say the XBOX ONE feels plastic and the PS4 don't, strange that as I was using a PS4 controller last night and to me it feels a lot cheaper and more uncomfortable than the XBOX ONE controller. but yes everyone has there own opinion but I cannot recall any Playstation controller that comes near to a XBOX controller in usability.

It's a nice controller for sure especially especially when compared with the standard one, I mean I bought a spare Halo limited edition controller and the thing feels so plastic and cheap even when compared with the old 360 one.
The reason why I'm not blown away by it is because I predominantly play on the PS4/PC and Xbox for the exclusives but the Elite controller feels marginally better than the standard PS4 controller, however if all you have is an Xbox one then I would seriously recommend that you get the Elite controller cos the standard one is absolute junk.
P.S. To top it all off the left trigger on Halo 5 controller I bought was squeaking like made straight out of the box.

Same thing with my Chief controller. Went through 3 of them before I was happy.
Quality control must be terrible on them.

That doesn't sound great, might not send it back to GameStop then, I'll try to fix it myself, I mean how wrong can it go :P
At the end of the day it comes down to individual preferences so if you're happy with it then more power to you, however I've tried the Elite, Halo 5, 360 Halo 4, 360, PS4 launch, PS4 MGS5 and PS3 controllers side-by-side so I can categorically say when compared to the Elite/PS4 controller the standard Xbox one controller feels like a plastic toy and is a piece of junk. But a the very least I'm glad I could make you laugh :smile:

If you said that about the PS3 controller I'd agree with you.
Limited edition with digital game.

The build quality of the PS4 controller is laughable. Feels like a cheap kids toy, made in china and abysmal quality. The analog sticks of the PS4 controller literally fall off after a week or so and the light bar is a cheap gimmick. The PS4 controller is worse than the PS3 controller, the trigger buttons feel weak and if you press too hard they snap. You are obv a PS fan boy, nothing worse. Troll, go back under your bridge.

I have had both consoles and now only have PS4. You must be a troll if you think PS3 controller is better than PS4 controller. PS3 controller was a junk and felt like really cheap plastic toy with terrible analogue sticks compared to the Xbox 360 controller which is still quite nice.
Whilst I can say between Xbox One and PS4 controller it's a matter of personal preference, I can also say plastic on the PS4 controller is of higher quality.

NICE but a physical game would have been better instead of a crumby flat pack statue...and why a steel book if the game is download???? oh well....

they should have bundled the MASTER CHIEF COLLECTION with this for the full story, the xbox one controller actually feels like a very premium product - it's just uncomfortable to game with for me

Heat added. Son was adamant he wanted limited edition console so ordered it at £400 with Fallout 4 just before last price drop. In store today and got refund and bought at £300. Just have to go back on Friday and refund the second one I ordered for £350 with Forza! Game customer services online are pretty useless though I can't fault staff at my local store who take it all in their stride. Overpriced at £400, bearable at £300 but agree about the download - discs please!
