Good price.
It's amazing how much they charge for these things. Should only be £20, for what's in them.

An empty house should only be £20, for what's in it.

I mean, just compare it to the Xbox One itself. £200 for a machine packed full of components. Vs 5 controllers. Full of basic buttons, springs, an led, and fairly basic Bluetooth connectivity etc.

that's not how you justify a price how many components go into a phone etc and they very between £20 and £1000 cough iphone 8 cough

I realise that. So, factoring in R&D, materials, packaging, manufacturing costs, blah blah, don't you think these controllers feel overpriced?
I think the answer is, they shaft you on the controller prices to be able to sell the consoles so cheaply.

Thanks for the heads up. Treated myself to first class delivery with some of the £4 saving :face_with_monocle:

This one worth considering as came fully sealed and box in perfect condition so they seem to be sending out new controllers (this is white though!)
