Posted June 4, 2021 My son just broke my old x360 controller. When I check online stores I've found that new original is sold for 140 USD!!! Is it really so expensive? There is lots of very cheap on ebay but those are not original, and by looking at reviews way worse than original. Worst case scenario I will buy used one, but I'm afraid that those will be quite old and possibly damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 4, 2021 They have been out of production for a while now so basically used is the only way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't sell them new anymore since a long time, so finding one in retail packaging at a retail store is incredibly rare. It's like finding a sealed Gamecube. Your best bet would be to go for a used controller, they are way cheaper as well, since they are used after all. Try to test it before you buy if you're not sure.

Posted June 4, 2021 The controllers are out of production since years and only chance is used or new old stock. Another alternative could be a Xbox one controller because it's mostly the same but if you really want a 360 controller I wouldn't be afraid to get a wired one used or a wireless with a receiver if something is wrong on it like a bad joystick it's replacable Reminder I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100% Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the eBay buyer protection in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't as the label is missing several markers like the FCC and packaging is easy to counterfeit. Also you wouldn't be able to find over 200 BNIB controllers for an older console unless they aren't genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unheard of for factories in china, tooled entirely to make the real product, to then run additional, unauthorized production shifts to make more product which is then sold under the RADAR of the company that designed it. So while the production is 'unauthorized' it's produced by the same production line as the real thing and just as good. After all, their only real cost is labor and raw materials. The design, advertising and tooling is already paid for by the company that designed the product.
