:( Seek revenge!

While this has probably turned into a humourous spam thread by now, anyone sill trying to smash controllers when they lose need to grow up. I don't care how frustrating a game is, if it makes you angry enough to break something, just turn it off. I've had the same 2 controllers for 2 years now with no problem.

Yea but....but...but breaking the imaginary controllers of the other system we own in our nightmares but don't like is something the cool kids do!!!!

There are two things I hate about my 360 controllers--the D Pad and the battery back that is only a year old and can't hold a charge for more than 2 days. Those charge kits are garbage. You're almost better off with AAs in my experience.

I usually use the USB port on my printer to charge them, because my 360 doesn't always do a good job charging.  It's weird.  If I charge it up and don't play it for a couple of nights, it's dead by the time I turn it back on.  If I charge it up fully and play every night, it will last me 2 or 3 nights.  These things are too temperemental.

Me neither!

When I'm so frustrated that I want to throw the controller into something I just think: "60 euros for another controller and an undisclosed amount for whatever I throw it at? No sir, I can't stand wasting money!"

Being 50% Scrooge McDuck is helpful. :p

dropped my PS3 controller many times, and on one accasion the cat stuck his nails in me and the controller flew across the room and hit the wall....still works
you really must have smashed your 360 controller for it to break

Breaking controllers is a must do for any console owner. If you aren't getting frustrated to that point in a game, you're playing it on a girl setting. :P

No matter how young I was I never broke my Controller. Except once. My old GC controller had a problem with the analog stick and tend to steer on one side. I played mario and the Jumps were impossible to make with this problem the same problem while I played Tomb Raider so I took the controller and smashed it once against the floor and It broke like it was a cup.

I have never broken a controller unintentionally. Probably because I am never pissed. I was pissed while I played mario but because I knew it wasnt my fault.

My recharge packs are 2 years old and last a long time.  Are you playing 2 days straight?  That'd be a good charge if so
