Title: [eBay] $42 for an XBone Controller (refurb)

Doesn't seem too bad, don't these retail $60+?

There was a $40 Dualshock 4 this afternoon but it appears to be gone now. Reports indicate the xbox's controller plays a little bit nicer with windows anyway (go figure... ::) )


edit: As listed in the title these are refurbished but I've been poking through their review history looking at the feedback for this item (they've sold 300+) and people seem fairly pleased.

Wow, I never thought I'd dissect controllers to look at the buttons.....damn! Are they truly double or triple shots?

And hey DV!

The XB1 controller is definitely my favorite of all. These are refurbished, though, so the price seems about right to me.

Even the wireless controller uses liquid black to enhance visibility. The traditional A, B, X and Y buttons were re-designed so that the colored letters now float on a sea of rich, liquid black, a “triple-shot of injected resin,” clearly defining their placement on the controller.
