Worth it to buy refurbished?

[Oberon.Smite]

So I want to buy this controller for MGSV, GTAV, and a few other games. Is it worth it to buy a refurb? Seems fine because the seller offers a 90 day warranty. What are your thoughts?

Also, how do I check that when I buy using the LTT affiliate code I am buying from the right link? Is there a place where it says the affiliate in the URL?

If it comes from the amazon wherehouse I'd go for it, if it comes from a random dealer, I would be carfull and look at condition rating highly.

I have this gamepad. Would rather have a 360 controller. Kek.

But, I don't see why not. I've never had a problem buying refurbished.

Do you have a PS3 controller or 360 controller?

I personally never buy refurbs due to tales from acquaintances, but it really depends on how much your saving

They go onsale for 19.99 all the time.. Bought mine from best buy. Not a bad controller but as said Id rather have a xbox 360 or XBONE controller.

I wish I did, then I would definitely use it. I'm buying this one specifically because of the Dualshock layout, to me it's more comfortable and brings back good memories too. MGS on the PS3 was a blast. Used to play on my friend's PS3 back in the day.

Same here, I never touch mine any ways but when I did use it I never really liked the feel. I used my friends Xbox one controller in a few games and it was much nicer.

Refurbished can be fine.  I know a certain someone who ran 8 refurbished SSDs in RAID 0 and it didn't even fail!

 

That said, when the difference is $4 I think I would just go new.

Yep. It's not really comfortable, in my opinion. 

It also feels really cheap. It doesn't have whatever the things are called inside it that make the controller vibrate. Making the it too light for my taste. 

The 360 controller feels so much better in my hands and is much more durable. I also really prefer the thumbstick layout.
