An inexpensive Call of Duty branded controller

MadCatz also makes Tritton brand, and those work pretty well.

Hmm, only ten bucks, not that I've ever been a fan of MadCatz.

Free shipping too, might as well grab one, can always use another controller, and even if it blows, only out 10 bucks. thanks TA.

Shinwasha said:Is silent hill downpour any good?I loved it, paid about 45 bucks for it new before shipping a couple months ago, best game in that series since the Ps2 games. I was happy with it at that price I paid, I'm sure this BB sale will be lower.

No way to know if you'd like it unless you try it yourself though.

Clever. Getting in on the COD rampage. If this had turbo fire functionality then I would get this. (So I could use it for other games and not just COD)
But since not, I'll be stickin with a HORI pad

Well that solves that. I have been needing a 4th controller to boost Halo with my mate. I don't care much for COD or Wired Controllers, but I'm not going to get a controller of any type for this price. I'm glad this came along when it did. Time for some Halo DLC in around 5 days.

/excessively long post about controller.

Can't stand Black ops but I DO have this controller, it was bought for my son lat christmas, and because it's wired he wouldn't use it. I think it's a fantastic piece of kit. Very accurate and has a great feel in the hands, it also has switchable buttons on the underside. I find it hard to use my official pads anymore.
That is a great price, I would buy another for sure if it was a UK deal.

It's hard to argue with a controller for only $10 but I just picked up a Hori turbo which brings my count to 6.
Mystic Typh00n - I was a bit underwhelmed, but overall I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

If this is the same controller I'm thinking of, it has a very strange feel.

But for $10, that's not a bad deal.
How much for the whole kitten kaboodle?
