here's the old post:
-----------------------------------------------
no matter which of the 3 major consoles you own, you are most likely paying out the ass to play your games.
xbox 360 controller - $50
ps3 sixaxis- $50
ps3 daul shock 3 (coming soon)- $55
wii mote + nun chuk- $60 (add another $20 for every classic controller if you want to play certain vc games).
wasn't it only last gen that i was throwing down $30 for the daul shock 2? screw that, i would get a wired controller if it saved me $25 a pop.
------------------------------------------------
So, a year has past since this post and things continue to get more.... expensive. $25 for wii motion + (bringing the total to $105 to individually buy one of each NECESSARY controller), god knows how much for the ps3/360 motion control solution will cost.
Now, there is always a controller that comes bundled with a console and nintendo is doing their best to do some other game/controller bundles, but why at this point are controllers not bundled with.... controllers! Why at this point can you not purchase a wiimote/nunchuk or wiimote/motion + bundle at a discount? Why are classic controllers and or motion +'s not bundled in with the purchase of a wii console?
Also, why is the $25 dvd remote not bundled in with the purchase of a ps3?
All this on top of dozens of shells, gimmicky controllers, headsets, HD cables, memory cards, hard drives, charging docks, keyboards.
Just last generation it was 1 controller for $30 (or less) and memory cards for $25 (or less).
