The Complaint Thread

I have never had to replace a Playstation controller which really says more about how often I play than it does about the quality of their controllers.

Same! The only time I've ever bought a new controller is when buying a second one so as to be able to play local co-op with someone (I'm too unskilled for online). My Xbox 360 never got the red ring of death, either, which has been my one bragging

But I do know a bunch of friends who've had to replace theirs fairly often, so I totally get the frustration. An oft-used phrase these days, but they really don't make 'em like they used to.
 
I'm waiting to see if the Xbox Elite 3 controller has hall effect sticks. Hilarious that they want like $150 for a controller with worse technology than the ones I get off Aliexpress for $25.

I'm still using a 360 wired pad for PC gaming. I have an elite, but this thing is still ticking.

Found my old xbone for windows controller, sticks are a bit gummy but it's still the best SKATE controller I can find,

New complaint for today, I hate how local delivery has workers dropping stuff off at night. I've had Target deliveries at 8pm, which is just kind of obnoxious. Today's a new low: my Target delivery went from today to "by 1am" tomorrow. Are they going to drop off my toys at midnight? What the hell are we doing here? It's not like they're delivering a donor heart for surgery.

To be fair some of us act like our toys are as important as a donor heart.

I'm on my third PS5 controller and my eighth, EIGHTH, XBox X controller thanks to stick drift. These controllers are absolute fucking junk and, probably worse, they know it full well and just don't care and refuse to even attempt to fix it. To these scumbag greedy companies, it's just another sale.

Microsoft actually admitted this was the case with their XBox 360 consoles getting the red ring of death. They knew about the faultiness of it, still put it out and most clients were just told to go buy a new one after the one year warranty expired. Of course you can pay to have it fixed, with refurbished parts of course and you get to pay the shipping! So instead go buy another of the same console with the same problem latent in it that the old one had.
 
I'm taken back to the days when I'd open my 360, wrap it in a towel, as was the style of the time, just to play an hour of Skate 3 before it died again.

Yeah, that was bullshit. I actually never got the RROD, but I know like seven different people, at least, that did. And yeah, the response from Microsoft was trash. I just cannot believe (although, I totally can) that we live in a world where a company can knowingly sell a faulty product and then refuse to repair/replace it because of the warranty that they wrote.

I did have my XBox One X fail out of nowhere and it was just out of warranty and, yes, Microsoft basically told me to go fuck my hand if I expect them to do anything with it for free. CRAZY that they can admit whatever is wrong is 100% a fault in their product and nothing I did wrong, and still be like 'but too bad for you.' This planet is stupid.
 
I've only been back to gaming for less than a year. My Switch controllers are still working great, so far.
If/when they do fail I'll be watching this guy's videos on how t on fix them.
