Has Google gone insane? Their controller price is laughable

$39.99 for the best controller ever made by sony on sale right now

or this $70 ouya piece of fucking trash no light bar no touch pad just a basic overpriced piece of garbage compared toa 40 dollar dual shock with way more features LOOK AT THE D-PAD look at this crap

I'm more surprise and amazed you didn't criticize MS Xbox Elite Controller series 2 price is laughable then Google's controller price lol.

Testing the waters by using MS's blueprint for overcharging customers for basic components of gaming.

I'll be glad when it all blows up in their face, that and their entire streaming model.

Have to support the price of infrastructure

Isn't it 59$ the regular price? So 10$ difference

The drama princess speaks again.

I found the OP very impartial personally.

MS controllers are better.

I have to admit, that control pad is garbage.

Google sort it out

That controller doesn’t really look all that good at all. I find the Xbox One controller to be the best of them all.

Typical on this board. Someone calls out a company for egregious pricing and people defend...the company.

Nintendo's are still more expensive, no?

@ProtossRushX: The best ever controller made by Sony is like saying the best ever smelling bullshit lol.

Are you really touting the DS4's light bar of all things? Dude...

70 bucks for that noob ass controller. You can tell Google is brand new to this shit. It looks like it's missing some chromosomes.

I am just here to complain about the usage of ABXY. At least make those buttons named different, google. Learn to be creative. I suggest the google color. Red blue green yellow, RBGY. Is it yellow or magenta? Hmmm

Well that controller does use wifi to connect through your router to their servers... That alone would justify the price bump over standard consoles.

Also as a man with no child like hands both controllers are a POS in terms of ergonomics, muscle cramp heaven kid controller pieces of s*** right there. Nintedo's Pro controller is better than both and the X1 controller is perfection.

I’m still miffed by the cost of Nintendo’s pro controller. It’s good and all, but nothing about makes me glad to own one over using my PS4 and X1 options. I’ll throw them a bone though and say it’s at least better than my Steam controller.

Dunno about laughable. I mean its much more laughable to have AA battery powered controller at this day and age...

Ahem...

USBC or GTFO

So the Sony riding drama queen is back. (I don't like Stadia at all btw). Also, are you really boasting about the DS4's light bar? Isn't that the biggest reason for the batteries running down so fast?

Also, as a dude with adult sized hands, I find the Xbox One controller to be almost perfect. I've used the Ds4. It's good, but Sony seriously needs to place the analogs where the Human thumb naturally rests. And it doesn't look like Stadia is gonna be any better.

If you don't know how to use the internet, perhaps you should stay off of it.

Wowsers... Your threads are shit.

@Grey_Eyed_Elf: the ps4 controller has bluetooth built in and i play with my ps4 controller on my laptops and tablets or even my phone

so no the wifi isn't a big deal at all considering bluetooth is so powerful and strong

What?...

I don't think you understand the difference between the two technologies and why its a advantage for Stadia.

Man, i kinda believe that you probably try your best to troll and trigger the shit outta this SW forum and most likely got a grin on your face when writing all those posts, but... did you ever realize that you are not funny at all?

Aren't the MSRP of an Dualshock 4 like 60-65 dollars? And it's 70-80 for like a switch controller?

Also, stadia can work with DS4 controllers

@i_p_daily:

Or like saying "the best x1 exclusive ever"

Ps4 triggers are flimsy garbage

I'm not trying to do anything other than state the obvious, but hey you're a racing fan and play on the PS4, so you have trolled & triggered yourself lol.

Well you can say that about the PS4 as Sony's games are not exclusive to the PS4 when you can watch them on YouTube :)

#controllersoptional

@i_p_daily:

Actually, the same can be said for nearly every game, definitely all of the x1 exclusives (however miniscule the pickings may be).

I play ALL racing games on my PC, only racing game on PS4 that i actively play is GT:Sport where i use my G29+Shifter, so the only two games where i'm forced to play with the gamepad is Driveclub and WipEout.
So no, you're actually trying to make a ''comeback'' on a wrong person...
And to prove you wrong, because you're not stating ''the obvious'', name a better gamepad at the time when SONY's original Dual Shock for PS1 hit the market... Ergonomics and analog sticks placement aside, SONY standardized 2 Analogue Sticks + D-Pad + 4 face buttons + 4 shoulder buttons.

@ProtossRushX: Thumbsticks in wrong position on both controllers.

Neither controller any good.

Yes its pathetic using AA batteries – changing them all the time sucks. That’s why I’ve got mine wired up to a car battery – it lasts for a good couple of years before I need to change it.

Do you? Feel free to share.

Googles uses Wifi to go directly to their servers through your router as apposed to a standard blutooth controller which in Googles case add extra delay/input lag on the controller.

The price is not fully justified but its more than the standard wireless controller which is exactly what the Dual Shock and X1 controllers are.

lol isnt this thing JUST a controller

Agreed, ABXY is boring af.

@WESTBLADE: I don't need to a comeback as you've trolled yourself lol.

@ermacness: So why do you waste money on buying Sony's movies disguised as games when YouTube is free?

Next thing you know Sony will start charging for MP and providing very little, oh wait....

What else would you expect from an ad company?

@i_p_daily: Yawn, same shit pouring out of your mouth, different day. Don't you ever get tired of looking like a dipshit troll day in and day out?

Yes they are and always have been. I get like 2 hours from my PS4 controller, laughable and frustrating.

Yes, as you're also an idiot.

Yeah, just do that typical chickenshit post and run away when you can't stand facts... ?

Yeah, playing fighting games on the 360's d-pad was pure heaven... oh, wait... ?

@sleepnsurf: BS, 2 hours my ass.
