Just spotted this elsewhere, thought it was definitely worth a share.
Cheapest I've seen it by £10 and it's £30 cheaper to the current lowest.

I suppose it's cheaper than normal but it's still £90 for a controller. SMH.

Really dont understand what people dont get here.
You can buy a keyboard for £5, but that doesn't stop a logitech keyboard for £90 being worth it to those who want the features and quality.

Yeah but you've got to think what you're getting for it. To get a scuff with all the same stuff on it is a lot more expensive. Obviously not for everyone, I don't see the point personally, but this a good price

Its cheaper than it's suppose to be. so hot. Irrelevant if you think it's expensive. A mini does the same as a merc but double or triple the prices. stop complaining it's expensive. You don't have to buy it.

yes, expensive, but hell, it's so much nicer then the standard one, worth it, 3 x pairs of different style sticks, 2 x types of d pad, rubber skinned areas for extra grip for those sweaty matches, I have two, one for work Xbox and one for home, I wouldn't go back.

Great value for the best controller on the market, at least for Xbox One.
Only hang up is the lack of Bluetooth that the new Xbox One controllers (will) have.

oh, forgot the,hair trigger function, and the four paddles underneath the,controller and the ability to configure it exactly how you want.

Its a nice price for a good quality controller for those who need a little bit more precision in games, personally though i have no trouble destroying my friends who whose these with my normal controller (maybe they just suck at games) :stuck_out_tongue:

Never had this happen ever, with any xbox pad. Maybe you have something in particular that messes with it.

19 Jun 16#17
I think this is the price it should be, I've ised one and yes it feels good and higher quality but the one thing I noticed is that I seemed to get more kills than my average online on COD, maybe it was luck but my mate whose controller it is reckons it means he wins most 50/50 situations when you shoot/shot at, at the same time but with normal controller u lose the advantage. Maybe it's his way of justifying the £130 he spent but once they hit under £80 I'll bite.. Heat though as good price but just out of what I'll pay..

When it comes down to £40-50's I may well be in simply because I'm stupid enough.. But I'd be all over a ps4 elite controller! :s I suppose if you only have Xbox one (why people why?) then it's a great accessory but if like me you have ps4 then we'll.. Not so much? Even for PC gaming I'm DS4 these days! Microsoft really let us down with xbone :disappointed: roll on xbone slim and Scorpio..

This. I don't get why people give it all the 'I can't believe it costs this much, it's only a controller' if you can't afford it, buy the standard controller. Still poos all over the DS2 controller!
Erm I paid €150 for it a few months ago which was around 110 or even 115 quid at the time, 90 quid is a blinding price so not really sure where you're getting this "really expensive" fallacy from?
Shame I can't vote cold on your dumb comment, heat from me for the deal so fair play OP

19 Jun 16#39
Bear in mind you are more than likely getting this to replace your existing controller. Therefore you can really take the £20-£30 you would get for selling that off the price. :sunglasses:

Why is it a 'dumb comment' if somebody feels that the price is too high for a controller?
Ever heard of personal preference and opinion?
If somebody feels the price is not worth what they get for thier money, then that is entirely down to thier personal views and circumstances.
Nothing 'dumb' about that, more like perfectly reasonable common sense.

Cheaper and better build quality than a Scuf. It is expensive to a lot of people but will be cheap for someone looking for a custom controller with 4 back paddles. I find mine invaluable and couldn't play without it as I've become accustomed to using those paddles in Gears of war and black ops.
A Ferrari is a very expensive car if you compare it to a ford. which at its core does the same thing. Drives on the road.
Jeans from G Star are very expensive compared to George at Asda jeans.
It depends what you want, but the simple fact is that these are in short supply and retail everywhere for 120 quid so there's no denying this is a hot deal for someone who wants to purchase an elite controller.
The amount of people who come into these kind of posts and say "this is expensive for a such and such".

People willing to drop £50-£150 for a gaming mouse/mech keyboard combo but not £90 on a perhipheral LUL
pinchez
20 Jun 16#60
Speaking for myself, gaming keyboards and mice have always been around this price and obviously a lot more parts, work and tech goes into them than a Joypad. Up till the elite good quality joypads were under £40 which seemed to me about right, then Microsoft release an improved version for more than twice the price.
Thing is if people accept £100 joypads that will soon become the base, then they'll release the Elite pro at £200 and so on.
Not telling people how to spend their money but come on is the elite really £60 better than the original controller or a DS4 etc.

Given what I've spent on my gaming rig I'm damn well gonna have the best controller for it. Had this since release and it was worth every penny, such a nice weight and feel to it even before considering all the other features.

I emailed them about the credit note, asking them if my refund had been authorised yet. They replied quickly, but said 'No refund has yet been issued, as we are waiting for your reply the notice of delivery rejection. We can either refund your purchase, or send it via another courier (tracked, DPD).'
I chose the refund option.
