Seriously, well worth it. If you don't have enough, save what you're going to spend on the cheap thing until you've got whatever the difference is.

well that's all well and good, but I'm not actually LOOKING for another fight pad per se. I have 2 actually. I was just more curious HOW GOOD the one that's easily attainable at GameStop is really.

Not very, to be honest. It's not so much that it's a terrible pad, it's just that it has no real longevity because it's built with crummy parts. They break really easily.

Yes sir. I tend to go through oodles of controllers for any given system until I find out I like.

I've broken 2 of the one you've linked to -- on the first, the d-pad broke after maybe 20 hours of use. The second, the d-pad broke and so did two face buttons.

I know people hate the term "female owned", but I really treat my controllers like gold. Anything that breaks during regular usage gets on the shitlist.

Really? I have been using mine an awful lot, and nothing has gone wrong with it yet. I have tried the controller you were talking about, but I didn't like it very much. The joystick didn't have near the same level of tactile response as the PDP controller. It's alright, but I much prefer the first controller.

Then whats the stick looking thing on the left side? You know, the small round gray coloured part?
The d-pad.
Oh. Never mind. Thought it looked like an Xbox stick.

I have 2 for my xbox. Awesome controllers, but i want to switch out the switches for something more durable. My only complaint is that the switches seem like they wear out a little too quickly.

Wow, awesome find, thanks for the link and the link to this shop. Even though I haven´t had my ps3 on for several months now out of fear of a 3rd ylod, I really wanted one in the past.
