You have put a lot of information out there. I'm a PC gamer, and I thought it might be useful to collate and summarise for the benefit of people like myself, in the market for a new controller.
The Elite Xbox One/PC controller + GOW4 is an overpriced deal because...
-Buying an expensive controller is like buying weight loss methods or drugs
-Newly released PC games are £20-£25
-While comparable in price, the cost of optional PC peripherals vs optional Console peripherals is invalid
-Extortion means as many words into the dictionary definition as suits my argument
-If you buy a controller for £100 you're an idiot. If you disagree with me, you are bad at games!
-The best available deal for a product is not a reason to vote it up
-An PC built for less than the cost a PS4/Xbox One will run the same games at double/triple the framerate.
(And you can do other things on it too!)

This is a deal thread. No one wants to read this pc-favouring spiel. I play on both, no point in favouring one over the other. I can't play Undertale/Papers Please on console, and i can't play Bloodborne, Halo, Mario etc on pc. Swings and roundabouts.

Not sure where the argument is here? You quoted a Pc build for over £600 and that is a sub-par PC that will struggle with maxed out settings on new games. This is double the cost of RRP console with a game and controller. Add a monitor, keyboard and a mouse which you need to start playing - you easily hit the £800 mark. Then games and OS...
I am not defending any side, i own a £2k PC which obviously runs everything better than a console, but i love my PS4 and all the other bunch of consoles i have but too lazy to list.
Stop comparing different things to one another. Especially price wise, PC can never win there, but again who cares? Each to their own ffs.

A mechanical keyboard has 104 keys on it, not 12, and they're, well, mechanical.
They haven't even replaced the main buttons on this, they're still rubber membrane, not even the kind of micriswitches you'd find on a £10 gaming mouse. Find me a £150 membrane keyboard!
You're right, you can easily spend £50-£150 on a decent keyboard and mouse, but 1) you actually get choice, not just "alright" and "better", and 2) you could always offset the hundreds of pounds you save on games every year.

I forgot to mention I play at 3840 x 2160 (1440p minimum resolution I will play any title at) so anything at 1080p no matter what the fps doesnt interest me. How much did you pay for your i5-2500k back in 2011 btw? Also those fps you claim are pointless if you dont have a monitor with a high enough refresh rate to display those frames. You do know how much a 240hz monitor costs?
Elivercury to GOLDKING
17 Feb 17#69
He's already established that monitors over 60Hz are not required, the higher refresh simply "feels" smoother even if it isn't actually displayed.
And claims that somehow monitor refresh and fps are not connected.

Yes I was trolling you earlier, they're Sony exclusives that you can't play on PC. They're pretty big names too and the fact that you didn't know that shows you know nothing about console gaming, which is fine, I know nothing about PC. But each to their own.
The games I like, such as Uncharted, Bloodborne, TLOU, Yakuza ect can't be played on a PC and no amount of frames per second can change that.
In regards to the deal, I do agree it is expensive but if you can afford it, it's a decent price considering its below RRP and includes a game. Some people like to pay extra for luxurious items just like the people who will spend £100+ on a keyboard.
Now let's all get along

Well, playing FPS games on an Xbox/PS4 is nothing short of hell -- and I used to be a professional CS player a few years ago, so there was no convincing me otherwise, aiming with a gamepad is just aids.
And if what you're saying about those titles that all (four) of them can't be on PC (I have been reading about hacked versions of Uncharted, true or not doesn't matter to me) - It isn't really a big loss, lol.

I don't think you quite understand. Those games can't be played on any rig in the world, anywhere. Because they're not on pc. Let me know when they make a GPU that makes a game's story improve, and i'll splash out.
H_R_Ali
16 Feb 172#39
You actually made some good points there. So what components do you recommend I use to build a PC so I can play Uncharted, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us 2, Gran Turismo ect?
I think I've covered everything, and for your own interest in how mine performs (with a MUCH worse GPU than the one I've given you above):
http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2844306 - And a little insight to how CS:GO runs - I get an average of 280 FPS on the stress test in CSGO. It runs Trackmania at over 100fps (not graphically demanding really but everything on high).
But you can see on YouTube people playing with the G4560 on Battlefield 1 with decent settings at 80fps, which is incredible for a £60 CPU.
I hope this helps.
ritchiedrama
16 Feb 17#42
Absolutely incorrect and I won't try and educate you on it, go find out for yourself or simply remain ignorant, it isn't about 'displaying' it.
CSGO, TF2 - Set my fps to 144. Game feels much less smoother than if I set my fps to 200. Just as an example. You're just re-hashing old myth type things and throwing them out there.
Feel / Sight are two different things.
Elivercury
16 Feb 171#41
The majority of xbox games run at 60fps, so if you have 3x that fps you're running at 180fps and will need a 180hz monitor to actually display said 180fps.
Pray tell which part of that is inaccurate?
I mean you could have your pc running at huge fps for funsies (pretty sure I got 300+ on tf2 back in the day), but it's ultimately pointless unless your monitor can display it.

I have this controller as came bundled with the 179 Xbox elite console deal last year at Tesco. It uses the same transducers for the sticks and triggers as the original so no additional accuracy. It weighs a bit more and feels like it's better made. It doesn't feel like it should cost 100 however. I prefer it to the original but wouldn't pay the extra for the difference if I had the choice. The paddles are a nice addition if you use them, otherwise they can get in the way and you end up just keeping in the case. It's a bit of a mixed bag in my opinion and certainly not the awesome game changing pad a lot of people make it out to be.
Cakeboy79
16 Feb 17#29
Well it didn't take long for someone to mention triple the FPS etc etc etc.
For the record, I picked this up from Argos last time round and it's a great controller. I agree it's not necessary, but it's a lot nicer in the hands than the standard controller, it's got a bit of heft about it which I like and the extra paddles on the back make life a lot easier. I love using it in Titanfall and being able to shoot and jump and turn around at the same time - it does give you an advantage.
It's certainly worth the extra £35 you'd be spending over buying a controller at £40 and the game at £25, especially if you stick the game on eBay for around the same amount.

It's because this is a good price for this product with a recent game. What you or I may think about the relative value of this product is irrelevant, for someone who want's it then it is a good deal. For someone who just wants a pad a doesn't want the extra features and nicer feel of this product then the standard pad would be a better option.
Value of an item is all relative to the person looking at it, for example there is a website offering a 30% off a black cotton T-Shirt that has 'fcuk fear' written on it for £17.49 (originally £24.99), functionally this T-Shirt is probably no better that the 100% cotton t-shirts I bought from ASDA at 3 for £10, but some people must like the design and think that it is worth the extra. I can't understand it myself but I don't judge those who do.

You also don't NEED an elite controller for the XB1...it's a higher quality product that people can choose to buy, just like mechanical keyboards and premium mice. Whatever you do don't look up Scuf pads or you will probably bust a blood vessel.
Elivercury
16 Feb 171#19
You don't need an elite controller anymore them you need a mechanical keyboard. The normal controller offers practically the same functionality as this controller, much the same as a basic keyboard performs practically the same functionality as a mechanical keyboard.
Funnily enough though, there are people who like nice things such as mechanical keyboards and this controller and are happy to pay money for said nice things.
I purchased this without a game primarily for use in my pc as it is my default console and it's great. Incidentally my mechanical keyboard also came without a game and is also great.
If you don't like premium products that's fine, but let's not pretend that this has anything to do with the relative value of consoles vs pcs
ritchiedrama
16 Feb 17#18
Anyone who pays £100 for a controller, a keyboard or a mouse is an idiot. It's the equivalent to people who buy weight loss methods, drugs, whatever.
It doesn't matter if people disagree with me, they're bad at games I'm not, so that'll do me.
secretspartan1
16 Feb 173#17
Well literally thousands of people disagree with you, this is a high end custom peripheral that you can choose to buy if you want it but it isn't needed, just like a £100 mechanical keyboard is a custom peripheral but isn't needed to play pc games.
Also the controller is sold at £99.99 all the time, so the game is an extra bonus to bring the price of the price down.
I'm pretty sure you're trolling, splitting off into arguments about the cost of games and fps on pc games when you clearly couldn't care less about the elite controller and what it does just screams troll to me but I had a spare minute so oh well.

I wondered why the grammar was so bad in that sentence, I had to look it up, and you forgot, or intentionally failed to copy the whole sentence.
Extortion is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from an individual or institution, through coercion.
"Through coercion" being the key point. No-one is being coerced into anything. They're showing you the goods, and the price, and you can choose to pay for them, or not.

Why have PC World featured a picture of the XB1 game's box? Surely the offer features the PC version of the game given that it's a controller also designed for use on PC and it's being sold by PC World?

Ah, I see that it's Currys PC World as opposed to PC World so the offer is presumably for the console crowd.

Because he is comparing a mouse and keyboard with the price of a controller and a game.
While a PC maybe a little more expensive than a PS4/Xbox to set up now (due to keyboard/mouse) there are several factors at play.
A PC itself can be made for cheaper/the same price and run games better than a PS4 and Xbox, with ease, at double and even triple the frame rate, and thats for the same price.
There is also extra factors with a PS4/Xbox, most people will buy a great TV, just like PC users buy a 144Hz monitor.
I'm not here to argue with you, because well, simply everything I've said is fine, and £99.99 for an Xbox controller and one game is extortion, lol.

You also don't NEED a mechanical keyboard and there is a tonne of gaming mice that aren't too expensive such as the rival. You've compared the price of a game and a controller to a mouse and a keyboard too, very intelligent.

A B250 motherboard (This is the ASUS one I have in my spare budget PC with the G4560): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N2Y2GLP/ - alternatively you can opt for the MSI one which is just fine: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N7OAYPO/
DDR4 -2400 MHZ RAM: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00UFBZOLO/ This is what I also got, perfect for this build.
Now obviously the rest is pretty much optional; if you have the money I'd be going for an SSD (120/250GB).
For 120GB I'd choose Sandisk at (£40-45): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01F9G414U/
For 250GB I'd choose Samsung EVO 850 (£89): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00P736UEU/
I'd be getting a 1TB Hard Disk too for storage/bigger games: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Desktop-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B0088PUEPK/ - Something like this is perfect.
Case: Thermaltake Versa H15 (£40) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/9g2/Thermaltake-Versa-M-ATX-Gaming-Window-Black-Interior/B00UNJRG78/ - I chose this one as its tiny, but everything fits without ANY issue, and the window is nice; but you CAN get a cheaper case if you want.
PSU: I'd go for a Corsair CX500, but there are many you can choose from and you can save a few £££ here too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020047-UK-Builder-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP2VE
I think I've covered everything, and for your own interest in how mine performs (with a MUCH worse GPU than the one I've given you above):
http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2844306 - And a little insight to how CS:GO runs - I get an average of 280 FPS on the stress test in CSGO. It runs Trackmania at over 100fps (not graphically demanding really but everything on high).
But you can see on YouTube people playing with the G4560 on Battlefield 1 with decent settings at 80fps, which is incredible for a £60 CPU.
I hope this helps.
CSGO, TF2 - Set my fps to 144. Game feels much less smoother than if I set my fps to 200. Just as an example. You're just re-hashing old myth type things and throwing them out there.
Feel / Sight are two different things.
Pray tell which part of that is inaccurate?
I mean you could have your pc running at huge fps for funsies (pretty sure I got 300+ on tf2 back in the day), but it's ultimately pointless unless your monitor can display it.
The Elite Xbox One/PC controller + GOW4 is an overpriced deal because...
-Buying an expensive controller is like buying weight loss methods or drugs
-Newly released PC games are £20-£25
-While comparable in price, the cost of optional PC peripherals vs optional Console peripherals is invalid
-Extortion means as many words into the dictionary definition as suits my argument
-If you buy a controller for £100 you're an idiot. If you disagree with me, you are bad at games!
-The best available deal for a product is not a reason to vote it up
-An PC built for less than the cost a PS4/Xbox One will run the same games at double/triple the framerate.
(And you can do other things on it too!)
great price for a great contorller and a great game IMO. i own both and the controller is again imo far better than the standard one. i use the paddels in some games not all but they are great for some games :smiley:
heat added :smiley:
For the record, I picked this up from Argos last time round and it's a great controller. I agree it's not necessary, but it's a lot nicer in the hands than the standard controller, it's got a bit of heft about it which I like and the extra paddles on the back make life a lot easier. I love using it in Titanfall and being able to shoot and jump and turn around at the same time - it does give you an advantage.
It's certainly worth the extra £35 you'd be spending over buying a controller at £40 and the game at £25, especially if you stick the game on eBay for around the same amount.
Heat from me
You just don't go troll the deal.
Value of an item is all relative to the person looking at it, for example there is a website offering a 30% off a black cotton T-Shirt that has 'fcuk fear' written on it for £17.49 (originally £24.99), functionally this T-Shirt is probably no better that the 100% cotton t-shirts I bought from ASDA at 3 for £10, but some people must like the design and think that it is worth the extra. I can't understand it myself but I don't judge those who do.
I hope that clears it up :smiley:
Funnily enough though, there are people who like nice things such as mechanical keyboards and this controller and are happy to pay money for said nice things.
I purchased this without a game primarily for use in my pc as it is my default console and it's great. Incidentally my mechanical keyboard also came without a game and is also great.
If you don't like premium products that's fine, but let's not pretend that this has anything to do with the relative value of consoles vs pcs
It doesn't matter if people disagree with me, they're bad at games I'm not, so that'll do me.
Also the controller is sold at £99.99 all the time, so the game is an extra bonus to bring the price of the price down.
I'm pretty sure you're trolling, splitting off into arguments about the cost of games and fps on pc games when you clearly couldn't care less about the elite controller and what it does just screams troll to me but I had a spare minute so oh well.
Heat added. After all, it's prob the best pad you can buy for pc :wink:
Extortion is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from an individual or institution, through coercion.
"Through coercion" being the key point. No-one is being coerced into anything. They're showing you the goods, and the price, and you can choose to pay for them, or not.
It is a criminal offense to charge £99.99 for an Xbox controller and game imo \o>
Edit:
Ah, I see that it's Currys PC World as opposed to PC World so the offer is presumably for the console crowd.
While a PC maybe a little more expensive than a PS4/Xbox to set up now (due to keyboard/mouse) there are several factors at play.
A PC itself can be made for cheaper/the same price and run games better than a PS4 and Xbox, with ease, at double and even triple the frame rate, and thats for the same price.
There is also extra factors with a PS4/Xbox, most people will buy a great TV, just like PC users buy a 144Hz monitor.
I'm not here to argue with you, because well, simply everything I've said is fine, and £99.99 for an Xbox controller and one game is extortion, lol.
You also don't NEED a mechanical keyboard and there is a tonne of gaming mice that aren't too expensive such as the rival. You've compared the price of a game and a controller to a mouse and a keyboard too, very intelligent.
I can get about 4-5 games that have just been released on pc for £99 you Joker.
