EB Games's two for 1 pre-owned sale is pretty average on games, but pretty great on hardware. Not all items are in stock for C&C and Delivery, but go for a hunt, see if you can pick yourself up a bargain :)

PS move controller is PS3 version with MINI usb port, although PS4 compatible,most likely bad battery already. This one is PS4 one with micro usb port/different SKU ID, battery still a gambling, but batter chance than PS3 version and should have been used much less frequent than standard controller

You can also mix and match items, and you'll get the cheaper of the two items free. E.g. get an XBOX Elite & a PS5 controller for $198.

      Dunno, but still good value comparable to Facebook marketplace or Gumtree. Get a little dettol yourself and you have a cleaned product!

    Lots of cheap pre-owned Joycons… I wonder why… (recent trade-in for new limited run joycons without the dreaded drift?)

    At least it's a cheap way of trying the DIY fix it procedure of replacing the stick assembly yourself… if you can get parts.

    • Lost-Sons of dallas on 26/04/2021 - 11:29

      Could get ninny to fix it if your console is still under warranty? Really its shamful ninny hasnt fixed the underlying cause of it. Its a design flaw and even getting it repaired by ninny is a temporary fix

    your link for PS move controller is PS3 version with MINI usb port, although PS4 compatible,most likely bad battery already.

    https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/ps4/245507-playstation-mo…

    This one is PS4 one with micro usb port/different SKU ID, battery still a gambling, but batter chance than PS3 version and should have been used much less frequent than standard controller

    • Lockdude on 26/04/2021 - 11:21

      Thanks, I had no idea about this! I've updated the main post :)

      • Mandalorians on 26/04/2021 - 11:28

        Thanks OP. Bought a pair. original $96 pre-owned/brand new $119 is bit over priced but $48 a pair is a great price.

        • Lockdude on 26/04/2021 - 11:30

          Couldn't agree more! I bought a pair way back when for…. testing my memory, but I think I score them for $19 each? They're the PS3 versions though, and I bought them in advance of the PSVR releasing, so snagged them just before prices went up (you know, back when they were useless). $48 for a pair of the updated PS4 ones sounds like a great deal.

      • henrikoez on 26/04/2021 - 11:48

      Yes :) I do it all the time.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/04/2021 - 11:20

      yes but if you need to do it wirelessly you'll need an adapter. you can get the official xbox controller adapter from eb which is also part of the special deal.

      • Chazzozz on 26/04/2021 - 11:29

        FYI, you can use this for other Xbox One wireless hardware, too. I use one to connect my Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 1) headset to my PC and it works a treat; saved me a heap of money as I was considering buying a second wireless PC headset, but now I don't need to.

        One thing I've noticed, though, is when you pair a device to the wireless adaptor it 'forgets' the console, so you need to re-pair it when you go back to using it on the console again. First World problem, really, but can be confusing the first time if you're not expecting it.

      • Smigit on 26/04/2021 - 11:37

        Anything past 2014 or 2015 will support Bluetooth. That said, many people have better experience with the wireless dongle over Bluetooth so it may still be worth getting.

      Interesting. I imagine that would be for a lot of people. But on a C&C you can decline when receiving the goods. Also, if delivered, you can return to EB Games for a refund. The page definitely shows wireless ones.

      Hope you're okay with the purchase!

      • Kintamarama on 26/04/2021 - 11:44

        I don't mean a 360 controller, I mean the original xbone ones that used wi-fi direct only and had no Bluetooth functionality. It's fine if you're using a xbone, but it won't connect to a PC wirelessly without the USB dongle that's sold separately.

        https://images.app.goo.gl/J4ddEyBGKV5gp8pB8

        That's the older version, the part at the top with the Xbox logo button is on a separate piece of plastic.

        https://images.app.goo.gl/qq26SoXxWAbLTteP9

        That's the newer version, the face of the controller is one piece of plastic, the part with the Xbox logo button is on a divot, but it is on a continuous plastic face.

        Also if you take the battery cover off and can see the model number is "1708", that's the newer Bluetooth one.

  • LurvinOZB on 26/04/2021 - 14:05

    Just gotten a pair of PS4 move controllers. Considering its $48 and pre-owned, a replacement battery would set me back around $30 mark so for a pair of replacement batteries, it would be around $60 + $48 which would come up to a total of $108. Wouldnt it be cheaper to just buy new ones with some 5% discount cards?

    Just food for thought: the pair I picked up are dirty as hell. Would recommend a good clean. The 2 sheets of antibacterial wipes I used to clean them are … yucks! Dirt grime and WTF dried stains on the straps! What the hell do people do with these controllers?!

    • cheepo on 26/04/2021 - 14:28

    • sharkie0123 on 26/04/2021 - 14:20

      depends what your buying, being a buy 1 preowned get 1 free you add a preowned item to the cart then add another at same value or lower value and the 2nd item will be free at checkout, always double check the price as they may do tricky things like restrict to game + game only or accessory + accessory only

  • nkbswe5 on 26/04/2021 - 14:50

    Just got the switch dock (dock + charger + HDMI cable) + the switch pro controller (USB-A to USB-C Cable).
    Very clean overall and have tested it without any issue so far.
    Regardless they are saying there are like 3 months warranty.
    (Can't find any condition mentioning on the site anyway…Only the staff is saying that…).
    They said they can change it if it is not working properly.

  • moullesfrites on 28/04/2021 - 21:11

    Bought 8 PS4 Move controllers , all are marked as being PS4 micro usb models, 6 of the 8 are actually the old ps3 mini usb model.
