New X-Box Controller, and raising X-Box live prices Brian Send a noteboard - 31/08/2010 07:33:03 PM
The controller looks awesome, definitely improved:

And the live accounts are going up by $10 at about the same time:

I'm guessing all this has to do with an increase in demand due to the Kinect? Either way, the controller looks nice, and the prices are a bit of a bummer.

Live prices piss me off Fox and Ravens - 01/09/2010 12:39:47 AM 404 Views
Yeah, PSN might not be as good as Xbox live, but the price is right Brian - 01/09/2010 06:18:12 PM 408 Views
Meh. I don't see why they have the option to twist the pad and make it crappy again. Explain please. *NM* j-whitt987 - 01/09/2010 01:08:30 AM 177 Views
Maybe they wanted to have the same form factor for people who liked the old d-pad? Brian - 01/09/2010 06:18:54 PM 394 Views
That controller doesn't look all that different to me. TaskmasterJack - 01/09/2010 01:46:47 AM 399 Views
Yeah, it's not that much different Brian - 01/09/2010 06:14:46 PM 407 Views

That's what I thought. *NM* ironclad - 01/09/2010 08:27:23 PM 161 Views

Yeah, they're pretty crappy Brian - 01/09/2010 06:13:22 PM 390 Views
That's the stuff that evens out the console vs gaming PC pricing, IMO. Zalis - 01/09/2010 07:52:19 PM 395 Views
It helps if you look at it from the beginning. Aemon - 02/09/2010 12:01:21 AM 383 Views
Since 2008 we've been flirting with deflation. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 12:34:42 AM 187 Views
Yes, but since 2002 we're still up, non? *NM* Aemon - 02/09/2010 01:20:58 AM 179 Views
Truth, but it doesn't justify a price hike now, per se. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 04:14:31 AM 192 Views
Perhaps I'm being stupid, but why not? Aemon - 02/09/2010 05:34:21 PM 397 Views
I agree, but I like to nitpick. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 09:34:17 PM 175 Views
You're forgetting the take into account the decreased costs per user of the core features... lord-of-shadow - 02/09/2010 09:58:26 PM 406 Views
