Just bagged a PS4 thanks to Buzz on the hottest thread ever and was looking for a new controller. I couldn't find one cheaper than £40 in most places until i came across GAME and something called David's Shop.
I think buying it from GAME would be a better bet

Mine was delivered yesterday. The back of the box shows the features including the new front facing light bar.

On webchat Game said my order wasn't dispatched because the system thought the controller hadn't been released! Hopefully it's sorted now - raised a note to dispatch!

Other than the top half of the box is white instead of blue I'm not sure. I think if you have the controller on you can see the light bar at the top of the touch pad which seems like the easiest way to tell.

It's only £39.99 in store if you buy it will Fifa 17 :confused:

I suspect their servers are lagging and working through jobs hence people getting delayed emails. It's Game - instore it'll be £59.99!

Hmm I 'ordered' from Game online yesterday. They'll let me know when it's dispatched. Still waiting. Now the system won't let me reset my password. Atleast I got the console from Very not like the poor **** in the other thread who opted for Game.

I've just rejected mine from the postman and hopefully should get a refund. For those wondering, I managed to get a good Argos deal with an extra controller

I ordered it yesterday after lunch and it was still unshipped/unpackaged etc. at lunch time today so I cancelled it and got it from amazon instead, hopefully no money was taken as it shouldn't have been.

How long were people finding it saying 'unshipped'? I've done a click and collect like over 3 hours ago hoping I could nip down the local store after work.

If payment is pending on paypal can I just cancel the order on the Game website and it won't take any money?
Would much rather get it from amazon now.
Cavity
30 Sep 16#97
Point is, it's a new controller that's the cheapest out there. They're all overpriced as someone has mention already, but it's all relative, so for now this is a good deal

Most people that would buy this are young and are on low income. They should be saving their money instead, to allow them to invest and build a future.
This rubbish is why only 50% of people have £100 in savings.

£34.99 at amazon too for black v2
a brand new and slightly improved controller for £3 cheaper than most vendors sell the older model ? a large number of people who have just bought a ps4 and want a 2nd controller ? idiots the lot of them, good job googling to save us from ourselves

A more visible, colourful light bar to put even more of the game into my hands? What? :man:

I've just googled.
Are you people actually buying a new controller for a slightly different colour and the light on the touch pad.
Idiots and their money comes to mind.

Please Note: Items bought online using PayPal can be returned in-store for a replacement, but not a refund – these must be returned by post.

So it hasn't arrived? How did you get it if was dispatched at 17:15?

True. I pre ordered my PS4 with them. Came about three or four days late. I was far from happy.
Cavity
29 Sep 16#83
No refund when taking it in-store, but if you post it or reject the delivery as I intend to do, then it's a full refund.
Cavity
29 Sep 16#82
Was hoping for a post like this. Very informative. Thanks
I think GAME have them because mine has already been dispatched, I think the pre-order thing might have been due to lack of update for their website.

I bought this controller 2 weeks ago from ShopTo for £44.86 as I needed a new controller anyway as my Day 1 Dualshock 4 needed replacement after 3 years of use, not sure as to why its not yet available in Game.
As for the controller itself it feels better as in a better feel because of the matte finish than the original controller plus analog sticks feel better as well with a bit more resistance. The buttons and the analogs themselves have a greyish look about them and the light through the touch pad is a nice touch.
The new USB communication feature is very nice and has a more responsive feel to it especially with fighting games, I play MKX and have seen a bit of difference in terms of button response. The battery life is to me personally better than the original maybe because its a brand new controller and rechargeable batteries seem to hold more juice when new anyway. Hope this helps :smiley:
BTW I bought this to play FIFA 17 but my pre order from Smyths hasn't come as of yet, something to do with a royal mail delay, even though they did give me a £5 off voucher for a future order after contacting customer service, I highly recommend staying away from Smyths for any pre orders.

There's a bit more info on the Argos web page (and higher price) :
I find the comment of 'poor build quality' a bit premature as this hasn't long been on the market. No offence but I'm sure it would be all over the internet if that was true.

Yes, they emailed me to say it's being packed.
Just got off the phone to them and while it hasn't been shipped they're saying it's beyond the point of cancellation. So I'm just going to have to reject the delivery and order again when I get the chance

Did you find out it's being packed by phoning or do they email you at each step?

Apparently mine has been packed but I'm on the phone to cancel it or have it replaced with V1 because of what I've read on here

At least you could drop the v1 & have some hope your triggers would be ok. These are really terrible a new skeleton would have to be fitted to repair

I had heard similar. Sony fixed a bunch of non-problems while ignoring the shredable thumb sticks, dodgy triggers, and generally poor build quality.
I wouldn't get worked up about V1 vs V2 personally.

I don't have much of a choice. Gf wants the red one and I can't wait until Sony decides to paint the V2 in red.

29 Sep 16#39
Its all relative isnt it,
£34.99 a bargain for a controller! It is in the context of the RRP but the reality is Sony & MS massively overcharge for these, and why not they are a business.
Hot OP, very very hot.. but i dont like to called these a bargain.

A price comparison site still has the steel black and V2 (from GAME) at £49.99. So that's what they've fallen from. Urban camo was £44.99.
