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
well hey I wish controllers weren't overpriced as hell but we've litterally have controllers over 30$ these days, this isn't just on microsoft ether, look at the fucking wii, that's about 60$ just to get both the remote and nunchuck, add on a classic controller that's about 80$. Sony has about 50$ for their controllers.
deal with it, they aren't going down anytime soon just for the sake of the gaming community.
