Yeah, they are expensive too, you can't just buy the Wiimote w/o a nunchuk, it's almost pointless.

I could be wrong, but maybe they're charging the extra 5 bucks because it has rumble?

and ppl thought that that the 360's 39.99 controllers were expensive, wow, yeah! but wait for damage control like "but it has vubraation and six axis!" lol but the cost to make controllers is like nothing! way to try and make money sony! lolTitus_WoWplayer
but in the long run, the 360 controller will be more expensive than the DS3 because when you do spend that 54.99 for a DS3, that's it, but with a 360 controller, you have to worry about batteries or a 25.00$ charge cable.

p.s. and the funny thing is that the DS3 can take ANY A-B usb connector to plug it in your ps3/cpu while you play, the 360 have to have the m$ charge cable in order to charge the batteries. It sucks that m$ didn't make their console universal accessory friendly

The wii remote w/ the nun chuck attachment is $60

The PS3/360 controllers are $50 (although they may be cheaper now).

5 extra bucks ain't gonna kill you.

not to anyone who doesn't have more than 1 controller. The DS3 have a 10 year lifetime (taken from the past presentation of the six axis) lithium battery (meaning no batteries need to be bought or changed) and it does have six axis (which might not count for much, but it still is a feature that the 360 controllers doesn't have) and is only 5 bucks more. With the price of the DS3 announced, the 360 controllers are the real controllers that looks to be more of a rip-off

A wireless Xbox 360 controller is $49.99.

Reading Comprehension FTW!!!!!!!!!! Now add that 49.99 to 24.99 and if that total is higher (much higher) than 54.99, come back here and tell me which one is the rip-off

well, either we settle with these, or go get the 3rd party ones. I know that the 3rd parties will be much cheaper, but will also be more unreliable

Yea, most companies to what they do to *gasp* make money. Do you really think it costs $50-$60 to make the controller? The best part is, they could charge as much as they wanted and people would still buy them.

the batteries last for 60 hours roughly when the six axis is 18 and the ds 3 is a bit better at 20 because it has a better battery in it...soooooooo

All these controllers are explensive but the Wii mote is literlly indestructable! (+ the strap and the rubber thinging) and when you get mad at a game and "acendently" throw the remote at the tv, you knoe who is going to lose :P

I miss the days when I didn't have to think "Hey, should I get this sweet multiplayer game that I can play with 2 of my friends since I have 3 controllers, or should I buy another controller so I can play with 3 friends on old games?" I've come very close to buying third party controllers, but I haven't yet....

$54.99 expensive. http://totalgamerzone.com/2008/02/26/dualshock-3-dated-for-us/ How do you guys feel about the price? I really wish controllers were like $30... it would be so much easier to play with friends, ya know?orangeillini14

i think all current controllers are redonculous. geez, a new wiimote with nunchuk is close to 60 bones.
