I know, but the topic is called " remember when controllers weren\'t $50?"

 Very true :) but the controllers then were hardly the same thing ^^ Personally, I like the upgrade :) I try NOT to remember when they weren't :x

Yes, it's trash. They know people are going to only need to buy a couple through the console's lifespan, so why not be more blatant about ripping consumers off? I might not even get the DS3 cos it's FIFTY FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS for something that should have COME with the console. No matter how much I like Metal Gear, that's just retarded. That's obscene.

dual shock 3 55 bucks?

wow that m eans it gunna be 67 bucks canadian

o well ill just get my mom to buy it

I still say the 360's controller is the highest priced for what you get lol. My friend payed $69 for the black one with a rechargeable battery :/

I remember...good times.

But seriously yeah. It hurts to burn the cost of an actual new game on a freaking controller nowadays. Ridiculous.

What I think is even worse is all the wiimote sword-like accessories going for $30.

With inflation and new tech, Just wait till Next gen. You haven't seen anything yet.
