Xbox 360 controller is as faulty as the console

My 3rd time getting the "Please reconnect your controller" message, batteries are all new and the controller is a month old. Happened to 2 previous ones too, im fed up already, i have to keep shelling out money for MS and their low quality crappy products.Why cant a multi billion dollar company just spend some money on higher quality production, had a wii for a year and dropped the controller and threw the controller numerous times without a problem, have a ps3 from 2007 and never had to replace the system or the controller. The lowest quality console i ever had, sorry im just mad about paying money for MS fault.

edit: after about 20 flameshield postsfrom lems, i did some moreresearch and its a very common problem. just google it, you get about200k results.

Own a 360 since launch and never had that issue. Sure it aint a 3rd party controller you are using? or a replica from china?

it is. if you got a problem with the d-pad of the ms controller, go with razers onza. Im at there gamescom section on razer .comand I see the 360 controller on there, and I think its the final version for the controller.

also is the dude facing Alacatraz from crysis 2? and who is he?

nice to hear about YOUR stories, but i can care less, 3rd time for me, and i bet most of 360 owners had this happen to them.

If geninue, plug in the controler properly, and press together the joint throught the cable, where it can be pull apart and separated.dramaybaz

what cable? its wireless

actually no... this is the first time I have heard of this problem and I know plenty of people with 360s. I also have 3 controllers myself and this has never happened.

I've used the same controller pretty much every other day for the past three years and it still works.

My PS2 controller broke after 6 months. Does that mean they're all crap? No.

hmmm I smell cow....but hey I'll play along. Logic would say if you in fact do have 3 controllers failing on the same system for the same reason, it's probably not the controllers. Check the IR sensor on the front of the system,Maybe it's dirty or smeared up. I'd clean it with some alcohol.

[QUOTE="AiurProtoss"]ive been using the same controller for about 2 and a half years. It seems the fail is strong with this one. YankeesNYC4life

cool story, im really amazed by your experience as it has sooo much to do with me :roll: and my wallet, your a fail.

Yeah, and we're all impressed with your fake story. You really think anybody here believes you? Like we're expected to take your word for it,l simply because you came here and said so? You need to prove your statement or its pretty much worthless.

On a side note, seen that Razr controller before. Would seriously consider picking one up. It's d-pad looks schweet :)

Just read some of TC's other topics. :shock:

Your batteries are whats faulty. I have 4 wireless controllers with each having a rechargeable battery and never had problems. Mind you mine are at least 4 years old.

Ya know I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but why is it that after I read that my B.S. antannaes short-circuited?

haha, just like all the stories about "i had my system since launch and it never red ringed" yea okkkkkk, nice attempt at making yourself feel better about your racehorse with the gimpy leg. the lowest quality system i ever had in my life.

This isn't about the console's RRoD issue. We all know that does exist. So far you're the only one to claim this controller battery issue, and as such, the claim can't be substantiated. You have no credibility, so you no matter how you try to deflect the retorts, your story will be seen as fake here. Just look at the responses :)

i edited my original post thread, go read it, you got owned as i proved you all wrong, this is a common issue.

First link to a gamespot thread with only a handful of posts, all evidence pointing to weak or faulty batteries.

Second link to xbox faqs page, also pointing to weak or faulty batteries.

Nothing about an actul fault in the controller itself as all incidents can be remedied with a change of batteries. Nice reseacrh there :) You haven't proven anyone here wrong at all, nor proven the legitimacy of your claim that its the controller itself which is at fault. Your fake story status still stands :)

even though the 360 controller is comfortable MS sucks at hardware the 360 console and controller are just... faulty

might be the console..not the controller... maybe the controller detection thingy in the console is out of wack.

I have 2 controllers from my original pro launch console day purchase...2 play and charge kits..they all still work.

your doing it wrong is what the problem is.

another case of a child covering his ears and going.. " La la la la la la la la laaa". its NOT the batteries, i put in new batteries, its the cheap ass controller.

Everybody else says the problem is fixed by changing batteries. Including the references you listed in your OP edit. You say it's the controller itself.

hmmmm.... who to believe, who to believe, oh decisions decisions :lol::lol:

It's your battery pack, buy a Play and Charge kit for 20$ and you'll be fine. I've had two controllers do that to me, cause my sister dropped it on the floor and messed up the battery pack.roflumadkid

Just buy more of the product that should be decent enough to work the first time? seems like a pretty bad solution.

P&C kit is crap anyway.

I frequently have the same issues the TC does with my controllers. Heck, even my charge kit that came with a charge cord died on me within 6 months. The thing can't hold a charge for longer than an hour, so I have to keep it wired whenever I play. TC's not the only one with this issue, people.
