Thanks. Gone for one of these as a few have said they are sending out new or nearly new ones. Price gone up to £30.49 now but still a great price.

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

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.
