    Just don't believe it!!! Price is insane!

    Hopefully its not a scam. Haven't heard of fishpond.

    OP, what's your opinion?

      I brought off them heaps of times shipping can be slow
      but they have been around for a while.

  • PissLUR on 26/03/2012 - 23:11

    why is this more expensive?

    • CoJang on 26/03/2012 - 23:16

      Newer model it would seem.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2012 - 23:17

      Because that one comes in a box lol

      Different supplier, if you look at some games the prices differ as well.

      Fishpond have been around for ages.

    • ChadHominem on 26/03/2012 - 23:55

      Yeah I think the older black controllers had grey d pads and top+bottom accents (as that $14.22 one is) and now they're glossy black.

  • spuderump on 26/03/2012 - 23:16

    who cares i bought 3!

    • ryang on 26/03/2012 - 23:19

      Well, I care … I've had quite an extensive read re: dodgy controllers not working with the new Slim's, so I'll be quite unhappy if the one I get doesn't work. :P

  • huey on 26/03/2012 - 23:18

    Bought 2, not sure why but they will be cheap spares.

  • strat on 26/03/2012 - 23:19

    looks like only one is left..

    tried to buy 2

    There are only 1 units available of Xbox 360 - Wireless Controller (Black), please adjust the quantity before proceeding.

  • KnowingNothing on 26/03/2012 - 23:21

    It's shipped from the UK and there's no word that it's official. Picked one up anyway, needed one more for the complete four. Cheers!

  • huey on 26/03/2012 - 23:21

    I made 2 separate orders, they both went through.

    Don't know why I bought one - I don't even have a damn xbox.
    Well, first time buying from fishpond. Hope they don't screw me over like they've done to so many others.

    I read they made a guy wait 3 months just to tell him there's no stock then had him wait another few months for the refund.

  • aznsniper on 26/03/2012 - 23:29

    Not sure if its going to be genuine, not sure if its going to arrive this year… but for $14 bucks I'll take the punt.

  • Arcticfox on 26/03/2012 - 23:47

    Looks good, ordered two.

    Thanks OP :-)

  • apexplosive on 26/03/2012 - 23:48

    To order multiple you need multiple fishpond accounts
    i have 3 from an older x360 deal and you can use same payment method for all
    now i need to create 2 more ozbargain accounts so i can rate this bargain 2 more + for a total of 3
    :P

  • A Banana4scale on 27/03/2012 - 00:08

    can this be used on a PC? I heard you have to have an adapter for it, but are they easily available?

    • apexplosive on 27/03/2012 - 00:10

      For PC and Xbox 360
      Works across Microsoft's gaming platforms. Xbox 360 Controller for Windows works with most Windows XP-based PCs and Xbox 360, delivering a consistent and universal gaming experience.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2012 - 00:20

        The item being sold by Fishpond here isn't the "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" retail package which comes with the adapter necessary for Windows — it's just the controller by itself.

        • thrones on 27/03/2012 - 01:37

          Does thing thing get charged via USB?
          Cant you connect the controller to PC via USB cable?

        • lostn on 27/03/2012 - 03:47

          I don't think you can. The USB is only for recharging. It needs a wireless signal.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2012 - 00:14
      +1

      You need this receiver:
      http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/Hardware/Controllers/Pa…
      http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Wind…

      I'm pretty sure this Fishpond deal is a controller only package and doesn't come with that receiver, so you'll need to either buy the receiver separately (about $12 shipped on eBay, not sure about prices elsewhere), or buy another package branded as "Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows" which includes both a controller and Windows receiver.

  • thackleberry on 27/03/2012 - 00:16

    Prepare to be disappointed, Fishpond is notorious for not having enough stock for orders.

    • Arcticfox on 27/03/2012 - 01:38

      That has happened to me before, but I am happy with the two possibilities that can occur:

      1) Get bargain price on quality hardware
      2) Get my money back

      Sweet.

      • theguyrules on 27/03/2012 - 09:37

        Took me weeks to get my money back last time

        But I guess if you're ok with waiting… And getting stuffed around with excuses.

        • Arcticfox on 27/03/2012 - 14:32

          Yeah, I'll survive.

          I'm not desperate to get them as they will be presents to relatives later in the year. I am also content to wait for $28.00 to boomerang back (should it come to that). It will hardly break my bank…

    • Adamiam on 27/03/2012 - 02:11

      I've bought some cheap stuff from Fishpond before that seemed too good to be true, but sure enough it came :)

  • sasquire on 27/03/2012 - 08:21

    • Assassin151 on 27/03/2012 - 10:24

      I hate the people who take the stock just to make a profit on ebay. It is so shameful making the people who really waited for this kind of deal miss out.

    • KayDat on 28/03/2012 - 10:26

      If you ordered by CC, they don't charge the card till the order goes out…so there's nothing to refund.

      • Arcticfox on 28/03/2012 - 10:30

        Not so. My card was debited before getting the 'sorry' email.

  • Infraction on 28/03/2012 - 13:23

    Just received the cancellation email. That really frustrates me, I don't believe them that it was an error I think they just realised they could make some profit on them given the popularity of the deal, maybe they massively oversold them for what stock they had.. has anyone's order not been cancelled??

    It was obviously a clearance of an old superceded controller at a great but not unbelievable price. Perhaps they realised the free shipping to all over the world was going to cost too much.

    Either way I freaking HATE cancelled orders!!
