Never buy anything from MadCatz either, unless it's the Tritton headsets.

[King Cobra]

Never heard. I thought MadCatz was great. I have one of their PS2 memory cards. Its the greatest one I've had yet.

[Crazy Snake]

Memory cards shouldn't be that bad, but any cheap controller or headset is pure shit. I've bought 2 PS2 controllers and the buttons got stuck within a month.

[King Cobra]

I never used MadCATZ products rather than a memory card. I HATE Pelican. The shape of the controller is comfortable but the overall controller iself isn't sturdy and durable. Sony.

[Crazy Snake]

I don't think I've ever heard of Pelican before, but when I do buy an accessory it's always name brand.

[King Cobra]

I learned that the hard way. Someone decided they were going to get me the controller but didn't want to spend too much. I didn't know why it was falling apart until I saw it was for $20. I spend an average $40-$50 for my equipment in controllers.

[Crazy Snake]

When you look at it you may as well go ahead and pay around another 20 to 30 bucks. Buying cheap things over and over ain't worth it.

[King Cobra]

What do you expect from cheap shit? It never lasts long. I might as well light the money on fire. Buying more of it will just dig a financial hole in your pocket. You're better spending a nice chunk of change to get something that will last 4 years rather than 6 things for 2 months. My family never understood why I'm so picky. They hated buying shit for me but they didn't regret it. Not until 4 years later did I need another.

[Crazy Snake]

That's the thing though, a lot of people don't understand that. They keep on buying all this cheap stuff, over and over.

[King Cobra]

You need to find the right brand that lasts. I hated it when the button pictures wore off. You had nothing but clear buttons. Sony fixed that by placing the X, square, triangle, and circle under plastic casings of the buttons. I got furiated once because I had an outstanding controller and a let a "friend" use it. Because he failed at his game he smashed my controller on his wooden bed frame. I nearly fuckin killed him.

[Crazy Snake]

Aw someone who likes to rage, I have't raged so bad I've broke something.

[King Cobra]

I rage. I don't SMASH. This was a blue, big, translucent, Sony controller with rubber grips for the hands. My mother paid at least $40 for this. It came with a memory card too. Next thing you know fuckin tape was holding it together. I..I..I nearly cried....while I was enraged. Its hard to get good controllers like that.

That's SAD.....Would drive me into a rage if someone did that to mine !

I still have my original controllers from my PS 1 & Ps 2. (One is DualShock).  They've held up well, although there is some fading on the old PS 1 controller.  I've had to take them apart to free up sticky 'Left' & 'Right' buttons a couple of times, but outside of that, they are still in very good shape.

Sticky? My original PS1 controller has a loose left stick. That thing is OLD! I think I've had it since 1998 or something.

[King Cobra]

I lost my PS1 sytem cause someone broke it. It was a family member while they had about a gallon of vodka in them. After that I just went for the PS2. It was cheap enough for me then. I still have my PS2 along with my PS3. I'm thinking of dumping my Xbox. Its the first one that came out.
