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.

you do know that the prices where the same for ps1 ps2 n64 dreamcast xbox etc controllers when those consoles were new
