Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Pink

Ok, so this is basically just the white controller painted black. To be honest, the white controllers don't look too bad, its the white console that looks terrible. But that is my opinion. On to the facts. The black controller is almost exactly the same, but part of the grip is more "matte" than the white one. The white controller always makes me sweat for some reason because it is too smooth. These look great however. The colors are well matched even though it may not look like it in the pictures. I'd definitely recommend picking these up if you have an elite, or if you have core/premium and you want the black ones so the grime doesn't show as much, I'd highly recommend these.

I bought this controller (Windows XP version) to use with Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones. After some difficulty getting the game to recognize the controller and then some additional adjustment - this controller works great with this game and even features RUMBLE effects! To get this to work properly, I copied the xinput9_1_0.dll file into the game directory and reduced the gamepad speed to .5. After I did this, it eliminated the "drift" I was suffering and made the whole experience great. I rated 4 stars because of the difficulty in setup. But the actual controller feels great in your hand and makes game play much easier than using a mouse/keyboard.

>>> Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows <<<

By R. Arrigo (California) - reviews

I've owned the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows device for about a week, and the only thing I am unhappy about is that I waited so long to buy this controller.

Combined with Xpadder, a free program that lets you emulate key presses and mouse movements directly from the controller (google the program), the 360 controller has become a great way to websurf, play games (e.g. Gears of War, Resident Evil 4), and even control media applications such as Cyberlink PowerDVD. If you don't want to bother programming the Xpadder software yourself, you can download predefined profiles for each of your programs and modify them as you see fit. The range of the controller is sufficient for me, but I have a pretty small apartment :-) I do not know how long the batteries will last and I am considering getting some kind of rechargeable setup. I've run this controller on both Windows XP and Windows Vista without any bugs or other problems.

Overall, I rate this product a 4.5/5.0 stars. The only modification I would make to the controller is to disable it's 'auto-off' feature that shuts down the controller automatically after around 10 - 15 minutes of disuse. When you are reading a web page for a long period of time or watching a movie, having to hit the 'on' button on the center of the pad before you can use the controller again is a minor annoyance. However, for most people who will use this controller primarily for gaming, this is not a problem at all and is instead a battery preserving feature, thus the deduction of only 0.5 stars.

I highly recommend this product.

>>> Xbox 360 Pro 20GB - Refurbished <<<

By Ryan Mumma - reviews

I recently purchased a refurbished xbox360. It was a great buy. Fast shipping too. I had some trouble with it shortly after I got it, but no worries, the seller offers a 90 day warrant. I emailed him and he responded right away to get it back to him. He fixed it and had it back to me within 3 days. Great service and a great buy. If you're looking to save some money, but got to have a 360 buy one refurbished. With a good warranty you can't go wrong.

>>> Xbox 360 Elite HDMI Console with XCM Black Knight LED Case Modification <<<

By The DarkMan "The Light House" (Houston, Texas United States) - reviews

I've had this unit now for a few weeks and truly love it!! I first purchased this unit to ensure that I received the very latest console with the Jasper chipset; My previous console (purchased in 2005) finally succumbed to the dreaded 3rod and I felt that this was good time to upgrade to the latest model with the HDMI connector; Trying to find a console with the latest Jasper chipset is like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack and while I truly wanted the latest chipset I also wanted a console with a bit of personality. And that is what this console provides, it is visually stunning to look at and the performance is excellent! The drive is very quiet and there is virtually no noise or vibration from the unit when it is on. I am what you might call a marathon gamer (I game for as long as 7 or 8 hours sometimes) and one thing I appreciate is that this unit does not freeze or have the dreaded 'Disk read error'. All in all a very beautiful and functional unit!!
