>>320295114
Because they're fucking idiots.
>>320295114
Who is buying these?
>>320295114
They haven't come to my country yet. I am tempted to export one at almost double the price. I guess people like me are just retarded and love the concept of a "pro" controller.
>>320295114
I want this controller for my PC. It sounds like it's good as fuck. But I'm not paying 150 burger bucks for it.
Xbots are braindead vegetables at this point. PS4 literally does everything and more and yet they refuse to choose Sony
>>320295114
Literally the best controller money can buy.
Sorry poorfags need not apply. Stick to your cheap plastic shit lel
>>320295114
because it's a really fucking good controller according to literally everybody that owns one
1) Because we aren't poor
2) Because it is hands down the best controller in existence
I bought one for me and got my brother one for his birthday. You will will never want to use anything else after you try one. And it's my PC controller as well.
>>320295219
Stay mad and stay NEET you fucking loser.
>p-p-please buy our tv box!!
>we swear it has games!!
>look, a shiny new controller!
>spend $400 on a console instead of $4000 on a PC to play the exact same games, if not more
>have a lot of extra cash to spend on the best controller in the world
Makes sense
>>320295789
top cuck
idort here
controller is definitely overpriced. Having said that, it's absolutely the best controller that has ever been on the market, period.
>Great controller
>Only other alternative is a $250 scuff
Why not?
>>320296056
Sounds like you're bad with money, friendo.
Xboner here, I kind of want one but I think the regular Xbox One controller is great and I already own two of them.
not only Xbros like us
PC fats also loved the controller
>>320296056
but scuf are better.
>For nearly a third of the price you can get the lunar white
Fuck the elite.
>>320296498
Nope, just have lots of it.
Stay mad friendo.
How much is microsoft paying you people? Jesus fuck this site has gone to shit
lots of shilling, and not a lot of reasons to actually buy this piece of fucking shit. For the price of a hit of marijuana, I can use my PS2 controllers with my rig using an adaptor, which are actually ergonomic, have good Dpads, and will last more than a year, because of shitty ass recycled plastic.
Also, linking to IGN is against the rules for advertising.
Not gonna lie, PC here and I want that controller.
But 150 is way too much.
>>320295114
Because they're retarded.
>>320297369
You are truly delusional if you believe the ps2 controller is better than an xbox one. seek help
>>320297031
That's not how you get rich or even have a penny left at the end of the month
>>320297320
>stop liking what I don't like
>>320297396
yeah shit is expensive as fuck
>>320295114
How many did they ship per store? Like 5?
>>320295114
Worth every cent
>>320298343
Not on your burger flipper wages maybe. When you make 6 figures like I do, you aren't poor.
Stay mad bro.
>>320298739
Kill yourself pham
>>320299259
>stop liking what I don't like
>>320295114
I guess because of low stock..
Microsoft didn't really expect to sell lot of these desu, they aren't stupid, they know that a controller is a big part of what define a brand/console. (it's why Sony have keep the same controller since the ps1, even though his design isn't the most ergonomic one. It's because they know that people associate Dualshock and Console. It's one the many reason the Wii U failed too).
Microsoft tried to add to the xbox one, some kind of elite/luxurious aspect to the console.
So yeah, It's like buying a ferrari when all you need is a corolla.
>>320295482
and for what a "pro" controller would be useful?
fighting games are better with a stick and fps with a mouse and a keyboard
>>320297320
The same amount Sony is paying for people to post those meme info graphics and "ps4 finally has games"
>>320299910
I am interested in durability mostly. I am a pad player myself. I grew in arcades back when I used to mash in mvc1, but now I grow used to the controller and is my main input device for everything. Now all games come with options to play properly with a controller so you are not gimping yourself like it used to be.
>>320299626
I own both an Xbone and PS4 (yeah, yeah I know) and I'm waiting for Sony to release their own Elite Controller. I would buy one, as their current one is cheap plastic garbage.
There is a market for people that have disposable income and like nice things. Not all of us are college students or NEETs or whatnought.
>Owning a console past gen 7
>>320300461
i would have bought those 20th anniversary controllers if i owned a PS4, but I don't yet, still waiting for some more games before i pull the trigger
also idort masterrace
>>320300723
>implying I have and xbox one.
It can be used on PC, you know?
>>320300461
I'm also a PS4 and Xbone owner, honestly the only things the DS4 needs to fix are the battery life, maybe analog stick rubber, and better trigger mechanisms. The actual feel of the triggers buttons is fine but the mechanism isn't so great.
Don't let the mustards on /v/ make you feel bad about not wanting to miss out on games
>>320300723
I would never pay $150 for a controller, but you do know they can be used on PCs, right?
Why are playstation users so damn bitter about everything
Sony is mediocre, get over it
>>320295114
Because they are good controllers. Especially for the price. Also I'm sure people use in on their PCs too.
>>320301067
I don't think OP realize that either.
>>320301067
how would that even cross his mind when there is absolutely no reason ever to play a computer game with a controller?
It's a really nice controller, my only issue is that the center deadzone on the right stick is off. Not sure if its just mine or affects all of them or just the game, only notice it in halo 5 but there have been a lot of times since I bought it where i want to ever so slightly nudge left or right to keep my aim on someone and nothing happens.
Thankfully theres going to be something in halo update this week to customize deadzones but it can be really annoying
>>320300461
I'd guess this is the same market that buys Hot Toys dolls or boxed Japanese robot toys from the 70s.
Nothing wrong with that. I've spent a hundred dollars on importing toys myself. Only that one cannot really rub in any ones face either way as if either point are somehow of more status than the other.
>>320301736
343 ruined the aiming in Halo 5 so I highly doubt it's the controller
I'll admit this controller is really fucking cool although the price is steep, all those customization options are really nice and something this industry needs more of.
>>320301728
This is b8
>>320301728
are you pretending to be retarded?
>>320295114
>keep very low stock of something
>a person or 2 buys thing from said low stock
"Microsoft can't keep Xbox One elite controllers in stock"
>>320299051
8 figures bro, I still wouldn't spend money on 150$ controller.
>>320301891
Maybe, but I didnt have this issue with the regular controllers and the issue with Halo 5 aiming was the sudden acceleration you got about halfway through holding the stick in a certain direction.
Its a great controller
>>320301891
They reduced the 'snap' long associated with Halo, its much better now. People would just turn their sensitivity too high and let the snap do the work.
>>320302140
>>320299051
15 figures here
I made my fortune investing in xbox controllers
>>320302140
>trying to one up someone on an anonymous imageboard
You both are pathetic
>>320295114
So let's talk clones. Where are they? I can totally see chinks copying that and putting a huge dent in their sales.
>>320302459
>>320295114
Because it's a better version of the best controller on the market? There's not anything that really compares to it in terms of quality on the market.
so it can be customized and is more durable.
Who cares? The PS4 and Xbox One controllers are sufficient, quality controllers. I know there's a market for the Elite controller, but that market is the same people who will buy gaming glasses because they think it will improve their performance on CoD. Why is /v/ interested?
>Exclude the fact the controllers designed for the PC out the box as well
>Exclude the fact the controllers fucking good
>Include a nice little 2013 image just to keep a negative rhetoric up
Holy fuck OP, youre transparent as hell, go work for Pick Me Up magazine and write some more stories.
>>320302773
idk ƒam
i just guess the shill is strong in this thread.
Americans. We have so much money that we spend them on useless frivolities like this. We also like to buy things we think have a strong, long lasting build quality. Not cheap madcatz shit that niggers and children buy.
I don't have an Xbox, don't get mad at me, just telling the truth. We waste our money on things we think are "top of the line".
Niggers and children walk into gamestop and think "ok what's the cheapest controller here, I'm trying to save money", the rest of us think "ok what controller is the best quality, I'm trying to save money".
>>320302773
/v/ will use anything in an attempt to shit on Microsoft and xbox owners
>>320303095
Liking something is not shilling.
Saying you like something is not shilling.
/v/ needs to learn this.
>>320303235
this desu
>>320302865
what kind of dumbass overdesigns a controller for PC and what kind of mouth breathing retard BUYS a controller for PC?
>>320302865
Can you configure the flippers to be unique inputs on PC?
Would be good for Star Shitizen
>>320303403
Shilling is shilling, and the latter is going on in this thread.
I was thinking about buying it but the internals are the same. I circled on the elite and normal xbone controller a plastic part of the joystick that wears down with time and causes drift. They could've made this metal or something but it's the exact same in the elite as the normal model.

>he doesn't own a controller for his PC to play games that work better with them

>>320295114
Why are PC users spending $600 on a graphics card?
>>320303661
so nothing? there is virtually no game that could use a controller on the pc that isn't better to play with the keyboard alone.
>>320299910
the thing would be a fantastic alternative to the official japanese way of playing armored core. you know, if From wasn't too bust shitting out more dark souls.
>>320303917
Why are console users paying to play online?
Serious question though. I can understand if they use dedicated servers, but they literally just use P2P (which costs Sony and Microsoft NOTHING) and they charge you for it. It's fucking insane.
Best controller coming through.
>Extremely comfortable

sure if you want to waste battery and want to have it play the game while standing on the other side of the house
>>320303969
holy shit kill yourself retard
there are several games and genres that are flat out better with controllers
>>320295114
I want to buy one for SFV. Hope my next welfare check comes quick so they're not all gone.
>>320304414
I'm not trying to defend the payed online aspect of consoles, but it makes sense. You're paying for a service, plain and simple. Now you can argue, "well they don't pay for this or that and it should be free". Fact is you are paying for a service.
>>320304681
>>320304584
Bluetooth 150ms of latency.
Yeah. One hundred and fifty fucking milliseconds. That's over 1/10th of a second.
WiFi on the other hand can have latency as low as 5ms with any decent router.
WiFi is superior. I'm not him though, just speaking the truth. I use wired.
>>320303464
I don't even know man, and this is coming from someone who has an arcade stick, flight stick, racing wheel, and a mechanical keyboard.
>>320304414
PC has been paying to play online years before the Xbox Live was even a thing. And it wasn't $50/year with a bunch of shitty indie games and services. They were required to pay $20/month to simply access the game and nothing else.
Also honestly, if you have a Vita, PS3 and PS4 it's really not that bad of a deal. The quality of the "free" games generally speaking went to shit but we still get a couple of nice games from time to time. Vita got Freedom Wars this month wich is normally $30.
>>320304431
Rich of ReviewTechUSA said this is actually an extremely high quality and comfortable controller.
And he has fat man hands.
>>320304584
wifi has super low latency
So an Android TV (An Uber powered one at that which is an amazing emulation box at that) has less latency the the one and only Playstation 4.
Nvidia create some quality products family.
>>320304902
What service? To have a friends list and be able to message them? VoIP? To be able to browse their digital stores?
This shit is fucking free anywhere else in the world. The only reason you're paying for online is because Sony and M$ says so. There is no other reason. P2P is free and you retards seriously believe you're getting better service even though P2P is the bottom of the barrel.
>>320305061
The difference here is that WoW uses dedicated servers, which actually costs money. PSN and XBL use P2P which is free. Also that's a shitty false equivalence because less than .1% of PC games need a subscription to play online. Literally 100% of PS4 and XBO games need one to play online. Big difference.
I'm not even saying PS+ isn't a good deal for the """""""free""""""" games you're actually just renting. I'm talking about needing it to play online. It's part of why I'm still iffy about getting a PS4. It's fucking dumb.
>>320305457
To bad the Shield itself is garbage.
>>320305548
>literally 100%
not to fuck up your solid argument with this consolecuck but it's actually 99%. F2P games like Planetside 2 do not require PS+
>>320305147
Rich is a fucking shill for hire. I don't trust anything he says regarding what to buy.
>>320305639
But it's not. It's literally the best emulation box and Android TV you can buy right now.
It was only meme-marketed as a Console. What you're really getting is an Android TV on steroids.
>>320296340
Say I could get it for 110$ or less. Worth it then?
>>320295114
Because its the fucking shit
Lunar White in close second
Wii U pro controller in third
DS4 touching itself in a corner somewhere
>>320295114
Why do you care
>>320305548
Do you really think XBL and PSN come out as free? Do you really think there are no infrastructure costs? PSN presents itself as a service, it's not just about being able to play online. You pay for a service, not for P2P connexion.
To get back to WoW it's fundamentally the same thing, you pay $40 for the base game, and you can't play it online unless you hand out $20 per month. You pay your internet + your game + a WoW + subscription that only works for ONE game and only allows you to play it, nothing else.
Also you don't really need PS+ subscription for most games. Multiplayer games are trash nowadays and it's not like you were planning to play Battlefront on PS4, you're too busy with assfaggots and CS: GO.
>>320305746
Consolecucks btfo, consolecucks literally BTFO! PC MASTER RACE WINS AGAIN!
>>320295114
Why are wii u owners spending 200 dollars on a controller?
>>320306820
not actually a PC player my family but you are a consolecuck
Yes, and they also fixed the d-pad, the one on the 360 is unusable
>>320295114
worth listening to:

>blatantly lies and spreads misinformation about PS+

>circlejerks about how shitty consoles are

Are you implying you're not obsessing with "btfo-ing the consolecucks"? Because since your very first post that's what you seem to be doing.
did any xbros do that gimme 5 offer?
I heard there was thousands of copies of free vidya that went in seconds
>>320307420
wait what?
>>320306820
>Do you really think XBL and PSN come out as free?
Basic friends list, messaging, and VoIP comes out as free almost everywhere else. It costs M$ and Sony almost nothing to do this shit.
>Do you really think there are no infrastructure costs?
Yes, but they're tied into the console cost. Well, they used to be. But now Sony and Microsoft are selling these fuckers at a loss so I guess they need to gouge you guys even more just to break even.
>PSN presents itself as a service, it's not just about being able to play online. You pay for a service, not for P2P connexion.
WHAT SERVICE? MESSAGING? VOIP? THIS SHIT IS FREE EVERYWHERE ELSE.
> not for P2P connexion.
If I'm not paying for P2P then why are they charging me for it??????
>To get back to WoW it's fundamentally the same thing,
No it isn't you retard. Re-read my post. A WoW sub fee is used for dedicated servers (that actually cost real nigga shit money) and content updates.
>Also you don't really need PS+ subscription for most games.
Every game that has online requires PS+ to play online, unless it uses 3rd party dedicated servers then they usually have a sub fee or P2W model.
>you're too busy with assfaggots and CS: GO.
At least it doesn't cost me to play those online. Can you imagine if CS:GO was on PS4? A game that costs $15 on PC (usually $5 because it gets tons of sales) would cost me $50 a year to play online.
Fuck consoles. Fuck you. You're a moron.
Actually Nintendo systems are still okay, but I wouldn't be surrised if they start charging me for shitty P2P online and something as basic and rudimentary as a friends list and messaging too.
I wish it weren't selling well. Then it could drop in price so I could get one. It looks excellent but I'd only pay $80 at most for it.
>>320295114
Trying to get them FPS skills.
>>320307871
>Basic friends list, messaging, and VoIP comes out as free almost everywhere else.
It's free on PS3, PS4 and PSVita.
>WHAT SERVICE?
Online multiplayer for PS4. 24 'free' games every year for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. Extra discounts. Game share with a friend. If you own a game you can virtually "lend" it to a friend. 10 GB cloud storage for saves and some other bullshit.
>If I'm not paying for P2P then why are they charging me for it?
For all of the above including P2P, but not P2P solely as your ignorant ass implies it.
>No it isn't you retard.
You pay $20/month to play online. The technical aspects behind don't matter because ultimately you pay TWENTY FUCKING DOLLARS A MONTH EXTRA TO PLAY ONLINE FAGGOT.
>Every game that has online requires PS+ to play online,
The games that interest you on PS4 don't have online/multiplayer component.
I want one but it costs too much for the few games that I play with a controller on PC and Xbone.
>>320309072
>It's free on PS3, PS4 and PSVita.
So what are they charging you for? The only justification so far is for the free games you're renting. That's it.
>Online multiplayer for PS4
WHICH IS JUST SHITTY P2P WHICH IS FREE AND IS SHIT. Once again, P2P costs Sony NOTHING. They only tacked it on to force people into getting PS+.
>10 GB cloud storage for saves and some other bullshit.
Google Drive gives you 50GB for FREE.
>For all of the above including P2P, but not P2P solely as your ignorant ass implies it.
If P2P is free and costs Sony nothing, it should NOT cost me $50 a year to use. That's the bottom line. You're being charged for something that is free.
>You pay $20/month to play online.
Sorry but I pay $0/month to play online. I'm not a retard like you.
>The games that interest you on PS4 don't have online/multiplayer component.
Bloodborne is the only game that interests me and it has online. Shut up, retard.
You're a moron for defending Sony shafting you. Kill yourself you brand loyal retard.
