Microsoft knows their first controller design sucked

[Vipershark]

actually the mistake is with the pricing
there's no way this should cost 65 dollars
at all

except it comes with the play and charge cables

just like most of the other ones do.

besides it's not like every other controller is overpriced as hell.

you can get play and charge kits for under 5 bucks online (my friend found one, brand new, for 50 cents)
it's literally just a usb cable with a funny connector on one end

microsoft just likes to jack the prices up on all of their stuff
(i don't think price gouging would be the correct term for this situation but the principle is the same)

this shouldn't cost more than 30, max
there's no way a controller should cost as much as (or more than because MSRP) a new blockbuster title
